"Arbor pro- Eric Lowry team did a profession job! I would recommend this company to anyone that wanted a very professional & affordable tree services company. It was amazing the great services they provided! I would use them again & again_ Hands down the best I've dealt with!"
"They completed the work efficiently and thoroughly, and left the site clean. I would hire them again and will when the tree in my front yard needs trimming. My contact with the crew was respectful and kept me informed throughout the project."
"I took.a chance on hiring Eric with Freedom Tree Service and I'm so glad I did! He did a great job on trimming a big tree in my backyard that was hanging over the house and garage as well as a smaller Crabapple tree. I asked him if he had any ideas about cleaning up and doing a little landscaping next to the garage and big tree. It looked pretty bad. I told him I didn't need anything elaborate, just make it look nice. And he did! Eric is professional, knowledgeable, reasonable, and does a great job cleaning up afterwards., too. I would definitely have him come back."
"They did a great job, provided a timely quote, and completed the project quickly. Great value, great service, good quality work. Clear communication and easy to work with. Our stumps were not too large, so this was a smaller job. Definitely recommend!"
"Clean Scape did an excellent job of 3 tree trimming projects I had here in Marshalltown. Quick response, reasonable pricing , excellent tree work and a nice job of cleaning up when finished. Highly recommend K Hagen"
"Sebastian and Jesus were very knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful giving me a good price would highly recommend FM Tree Service. They are very professional. They cleaned up very well."
"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."
"I was very pleased with their work . They were professional and kind and worked very hard to complete my landscaping and mowing. They were respectful of me and my property. I am very happy with the mulching of my flowerbeds and new brick borders placed around three young trees in my backyard. Their mowing and trimming was done with care. I recommend them instead of a large commerical company."

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree.
Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.
Yes, the same rules discussed above apply to your neighbor: They can trim one of your trees as long as they’re only cutting the portion that extends into their property. Your neighbor is not allowed to access your property without permission, nor can they cut past the property line.
There are many signs that a tree is diseased or dying, and if you suspect that’s the case, you should call an arborist immediately. You might notice rot or fungus on the trunk or that the tree is beginning to lean to one side. Brittle branches or signs of root damage are other indicators that a tree is in trouble. If the tree is dying, it might be time to cut the tree down so it doesn’t fall.
Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.
The average lifespan of an oak tree is 100 to 300 years, so long as it isn’t impacted by diseases like sudden oak death. Some species will last shorter or longer, depending on where you live.
