"We are SO happy that we found Ethan and Arbor Wise! We overheard one of his employees talking about working for an arborist. We immediately asked him who he worked for, as we had been looking for an arborist for several years, after our prior one had left the business. We could NOT be happier. Arbor Wise is even better than the arborist we had before! They came out for an estimate within a few days, gave us the quote and were done with the job within a short time. Not only did they do a great job of correcting the problems caused by a prior tree trimmer they explained exactly what they were doing and what would need to be done to resolve the mess that had been left behind. They also cleaned up all the debris and left our yard looking so much better than it had in years. We look forward to many years of having Arbor Wise take care of our trees for us! Thank you so much, Ethan and Sean!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

Homeowners are usually not responsible for trees that fall on power lines. Power companies usually have utility easements around power lines, which give them the responsibility to maintain any trees within about 15 to 20 feet of the lines.

Tree removal costs typically don’t include stump removal, as that technically falls into a different service. The company you hire may offer the service for an additional fee; ask them if they offer it to ensure you get the best tree stump removal costs possible.
