Customers say: Super punctual

"We have only had the estimate, agreement & hire, so far, but I am very pleased with this company. They came out on a blizzard-like day, were on time, friendly & had good communication. We agreed on a price for the intended Trim Trees job, and scheduled it for this next weekend, as it should be nicer weather out then. I'll post photos of the before & after, once the job is completed. Thanks for all your help, Angi."

Hello, my name is Josh. Im 20 years old, I have a strong back, and just enough experience to help you accomplish what you might not be able to. Whether its because you are inexperienced/unable, too busy, lack the proper tools/equipment, or simply because you don't want to (trust me, im the last one to judge). I have professional experience in construction, minor landscaping, and instalation. This includes concrete flatwork, grading (gravel, soild, sand, ect), lawn/garden maintenance, minor carpentry, mounting/instalation. I can paint, clean, im not afraid to use a ladder or get on your roof, hell I can even just replace your old lightbulbs if you need. I have a pickup truck if you need to move furniture or other large objects, and the capability to load it for you. Bottom line is that what ever task you cant acomplish on your own, I can handle, no questions asked, no crazy 2 hour minimums or really any bs in general. If youve ever thought "I need a guy for this" Josh is your man

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

Consumers typically do not need to worry about the cost of tree insurance, as professional tree service companies pay for their own coverage. For a tree service business, an average U.S. policy covering about $1 million in general liability costs roughly $40 a month or $500 a year. More extensive policies, providing between $500,000 to $2 million in coverage, can cost between $3,000 and $6,000 annually, depending on the company's size and scope of work. Tree service professionals should speak with an insurance company to determine the right plan for their business.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

Yes, it’s possible to overwater a newly-planted tree. Daily watering is great for the first few weeks, but it’s important not to go overboard. Excessive watering can lead to various problems, including root rot, fungal diseases, and a lack of root development.

Not every arborist climbs trees, but most will do so if that’s the best method for assessing or treating a tree. Arborists have a variety of tree climbing gear and safety equipment to choose from when climbing trees. Consult your local arborist about their tree-climbing plan if your service requires that type of task.
