Payment is expected upon the completion of satisfactory work unless prior arrangements have been made. Seasonal mow clients are invoiced once monthly and payment is due upon receipt. I offer discounts to seasonal customers on some jobs. Many of the tasks I perform have hourly minimums. Estimates are free.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more, depending on the type of work. Arborists complete a wide variety of jobs related to trees, so the average prices listed below should help you get a rough estimate of what your project will cost:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

Typically, arborists charge between $100 and $350 per hour. The amount an arborist charges depends on several factors, such as the type of tree inspection, the number of trees, and accessibility. The price can also depend on whether you are working with an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring an arborist, you should consider their experience, insurance coverage, and fees.

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.
