"Very prompt, Did a beautiful job even saved us from having a tree fall on our new deck, as they started trimming it, they found it was rotten Ion the middle of the trunk and had at sometime been hit by lightning. Removed our fence to avoid it being damaged when took trees down and for cleanup as we had 3 trees removed from around our inground pool. When put fence back after job finished, the fence was in better shape than it was when that section was removed. These guys did an great job. We are going to have them back for future projects as the spring and summer go on. Highly recommend them. Gave us our estimate on Sunday after returning the call at midnight on a Saturday night after I had clicked them on home advisor app on line. Very, friendly, explain very well about work that will be done. Got estimate late on Sunday afternoon and today on Tuesday the job has been done, cleaned up and looks great. They have already been told by us that we will be using them in the future. Great job guys!!!"

"They are amazing, they have been working with me for a while now, on 4 occasions now and I can say their work quality is above and beyond, kind customer service, they are just so nice, considerate and meticulous, and perfectionists. Their prices were very fair. Their work has made me cry happy tears because my yard looks even better now than before. I was recommended to them by a friend and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who asks and actually already have!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don’t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

Stay inside or well away until the storm passes. Don’t go outside to inspect the tree until the weather clears, especially if the tree is on a hill or isolated in a field. Lightning often strikes the same easily-accessed places multiple times, and you could be a new target. If a lightning strike causes a noticeable fire, alert emergency services. When the storm is over, take a closer look to gauge the damage done.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
