"I would highly recommend Cory from American pride for your next tree service needs. He came and gave us a quote one day and was ready to start work the very next day. He and his crew are very quick and get the job done the right way. We are very happy with the work that they did for us. If we ever need work done in the future we will be calling them for the job."

"During a storm, a tree fell across our driveway. Levi gave us a quote and removed the tree on the same day. He and his team were fast, competent and courteous and the yard was completely and carefully cleaned up after the removal as well as the stump being left and trimmed so we could decorate it. Thanks Moore & Sons Concrete Excavation!"

"Ethan Dean did a fantastic job. He removed bats and moles from my property. I contacted Ethan and he came out the next afternoon. I found the company very affordable. I compared pricing with 4 other companies and he beat out the pricing by hundreds of dollars. He was much reasonable. I would recommend this company to anyone."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It enhances property aesthetics, improves tree health, and prevents safety hazards.

Pruning can impact cold hardiness—but it’s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don’t want to prune trees when there’s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it’s pruned.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.
