"Titan did a magnificent job on my property during the past week. I needed the following done: Grading work on my 3 acre property and three different types of rocks delivered. I also needed additional black dirt brought in to make it perfect. From start to finish the communication was excellent with Will. He let me know what time they would get to my job and everything that was going on during the work process. This is something that a lot of contractors just fail to do in my past experiences. They provide top notch equipment, with many different attachments for various types of jobs during the entire process. This ensures that the job is done correctly, the first time! Lastly, customer service could not be better. They (Will and Tim) stayed with the job until I was completely satisfied. Always keeping a great attitude no matter how many questions I asked. Even going the extra nine yards finishing the job better than I expected."

"It went great. They started in the afternoon on Monday the 17th and worked for about an hour. They got a great start. They came back Tuesday morning the 18th exactly when they said they would and finished the rest of the job in about another hour and a half. I was amazed at how skilled they were. They did an incredible job getting the huge limbs off our garage and one large limb off our house. They all were professional and friendly and efficient. They did an amazing job cleaning up as well. I highly recommend Arbor Way tree service."

"I called Jason Tuesday night after supper. He came later that evening and gave us a bid on removing the tree and taking out the stump. He said he could come and remove it on Saturday. We had called a "big" name tree service for an estimate earlier. The price from the big company was slightly more, and they told us it would be six weeks before they could remove the tree. The big company also said the stump removers were a separate crew and they would come later. We decided to hire Jason. Jason was actually able to move the date up to Friday morning. Jason and his crew arrived right on time. They were amazing!! Jason and 4 extremely efficient crew members safely removed the tree (w/o harming the flower beds underneath it or other nearby trees) and also ground the stump in TWO hours!! All debris was removed. Also NO equipment was driven on our lawn. We asked them to leave the shavings from the stump, so we could use it as mulch on our flower beds. They did. Without a doubt, Jason's tree service is THE BEST we have ever experienced. No fuss. Just fast, capable efficient service. Hire them!!!!!"

"I had called around to a few different tree service companies for quotes. I kept getting the run around from a few of them, and I still havenâ t heard back from some. I found E&H Maintenance and Tree Service on Home Advisor. They came out the same day, gave a very reasonable quote, and got started right away. The work they did was outstanding. I would definitely hire them again. HIRE E&H FOR ALL OF YOUR MAINTENANCE AND TREE SERVICE NEEDS... YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! -Recommend 10/10"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.

You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall. 

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.
