"I have to say, Bill's Tree Service is the BEST tree service company I have ever had work done with. Other companies came, bid, then no showed me. But Bill is the ultimate professional. He arrived on time for the consultation. Was very personable, drove a spotless vehicle and spent over an hour going over my entire property. I was prepared for being told that I would need to have trees brought down but no. There was not one tree that needed removed, just trimmed and groomed. I was out of town when his crew did the job but as the consummate professional, at 7:00 am I received a text with pictures showing his crew on the job and starting work. It was a full 2 day job, an hour from Sioux City but they were there, did an awesome job and a perfect cleanup above and beyond what I expected. I just wish I could have thanked the crew in person. What I wish the most is that I had called Bill last summer to look at a big, huge beautiful tree that was brought down by another cutter, that in retrospect could have been saved and enjoyed for many, many more years to come. There is truly a difference between an arborist and just a run of the mill tree service. A hard lesson learned. So thank you Bill and crew. Hope to see you next summer for the final phase of tree trimming."

"Pros: Price, professionalism, insurance, great cleanup. Cons: None. Needed a tree removed that was directly between the rear of my house and shed. I also requested to have a nearby limb on an adjacent tree trimmed back. Decided I would get 5 quotes prior to making my decision on service provider. Deciding factors for me: insurance, price. Westbrook came in with the best price and speedy service - I asked when they could be here, and they said "tomorrow." Westbrook employees operated responsibly and professionally when on my property. Services were completed within roughly 4 hours of start time, and the cleanup was impressive. My wife commented that the patio area around where the tree was taken down was actually cleaner than it was prior to tree removal. Great job guys!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip.

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.

If you don’t cut down a dead, dying, or diseased tree, it can become a nesting place for pests like mosquitos, bees, beetles, wasps, fly larvae, and more. Some pests will live in the tree, while others will feed off the decaying wood. Unhealthy trees are also more likely to fall over, potentially injuring people and causing damage to your property.

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.
