"I'm not sure my first review was submitted but if it was, these two guys are worthy of a second 5-star review. They are reasonable, dependable and professional. I lost my husband last month and am dealing with a lot just now and they worked me into their busy schedule. I had two trees removed and stumps ground. They did an excellent job."

"Excellent! Jake was here in a timely manner to look at tree and give a quote for removal. He did exactly what he said he would do. Tree was a huge pin oak which he took down safely, ground out stump and filled in with dirt. Left my yard free of any debris as they raked the yard of sticks, leaves etc. They are polite, dependable, honest, hard working guys who do what they say and are careful of your property. They show up when they say they will and go right to work. Their quote was more than fair, with no hidden fees. Will have them back in fall to trim a tree."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

Deciduous shade trees (the type of trees whose leaves fall off in autumn) need to be pruned in late winter—between February and March. That’s because it’s easier to find and remove sick or dead branches when no leaves are present. And wounds close and heal faster in colder temperatures so pruning them at this time also makes them less prone to infection.

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). 

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.
