"i'm a repeat customer (That should tell you a lot). Small job ot trimming a decorative tree and raising a branch on a large locust in the back yard. My neighbor was so impressed that she requested help and Jose helped her out on the spot! If you need someone that REALLY understands how to treat a tree and you, as a client, look no further."

"Gabe's tree service successfully removed a large oak tree from my yard. Gabe and his crew were professional, hardworking, friendly, reliable, and fairly priced the project. They arrived on time, carefully performed the removal with no damage to surrounding planting, and clean up was thorough. I readily recommend Gabe's tree service and plan to use his services again. Thank you, Gabe and crew, for an A+ job!"

"The owner Michael came out and did a complete walk-through of my property with me. He demonstrated exceptional knowledge on every type of tree, identifying health concerns and different illnesses present in our crab trees and our giant blue spruce trees. After meeting with me and my wife, we new immediately that AAA Arborist would make the best decisions on how to address our tree health and maintenance needs. I obtained three separate quotes and AAA Arborists' detail was thorough and pricing was very competetive, so my choice was very easy to make. On the day of my service, Michael personally supervised his crew. The work was carefully executed and the attention to detail was amazing. Michael also followed up with me a week later to ensure we were satisfied. I am so pleased with the service and the results. We will be using them as our regular tree service from now on!"

"They are a family business with a wonderful work ethic. They took two large trees down, chipped the branches, cut the trunk to log-length for me and did a thorough clean-up when finished. Would highly recommended Ace Tree Service for you needs."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.

The Christmas tree type that smells the best to you will ultimately depend on personal preference. But if that classic Christmas tree smell is important to you, choosing a type of tree known for its scent is a safe bet. Try a balsam fir for a spicy, comforting scent or a Douglas fir for a sweeter smell. You may also like Fraser firs, Scotch pines, and blue spruces.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.
