"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!"

"Hired Arbor Wise to trim pine, nut and fruit trees after purchasing quality split firewood from them. Knowledgeable, informative, professional, and competitively priced. Have since hired them for follow up trims and a large job triming ten 100 foot cotton woods with a crane. Will be using Arbor Wise again."

"The guys from 3M Trees are absolutely wonderful to work with. They actually called and texted when they were going to be late and exactly when they were going to show up. They're friendly, polite, and totally clean up afterwards. Their estimate was less than half of another estimate that I got for the exact same job and they were much quicker to respond. They moved things out of the way for where the tree was going to fall and put it back and totally cleaned up the yard afterwards. It's cleaner than before they showed up. I was impressed with their work ethic and how well they worked together and how pleasant they were. It made the whole thing a very enjoyable process for me. If you need tree work done I definitely recommend these guys."

Small jobs welcome

"Ironforged Excavation recently completed work on my property and I couldn't be more impressed. They not only delivered on their initial quote with exceptional quality but also went above and beyond by tackling several smaller projects I'd been putting off, including filling in an old trampoline hole. My garden beds look fantastic, and the brush and tree clearing they did has truly transformed the landscape! Will definitely be hiring for future projects! Fair pricing for the work the completed! Will definitely be hiring for future projects :)"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.
