"When we talked about trimming the trees, we both knew it would be a task and that the end result may not look good, which I knew and agreed. Dead limbs needed to be trimmed from the trees and general maintenance of the trees. When they finished, they actually looked pretty nice! They did a nice job of cleanup and respect of the property."

"I can not reccomend Green Tree enough. Over the years working in real estate I have worked with several tree companies on various projects. Most great some not so much. Green Tree surpassed them all. I will reccomend them to all my clients moving forward. The care the took with mine and my neighbors property while removing a large portion of a giant maple was exquisite. They had to bring in a large boom, and made sure to cover the ground with plywood to not tear up our yards. The safety equipment they had in place was also impressive. All for a very fair price. Don't hesitate to give this awesome team a call!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.
