"This group was the best! 13 trees removed and not a branch left on the ground. I had a tree that was a tricky fall but no problem. Professional and price well also. I had some huge stumps removed with large roots and I was sure they wouldn't get them all. They did. Very happy and would hire them again."

"We had a very large tree that needed to be removed in our backyard with very tight excess to it. Deven and the crew did a great job, no, they did an excellent job. From cutting down the tree to removal of all the limbs and grinding out the two stumps it was done very professionally. This company does and follows thru with everything they promise to do. We are so happy with the respectful way they treated us and our property. I would highly recommend this company. They are Great!"

"He told me what time he was coming and came right on the dot.  He knew exactly what kind of tree I have and was very knowledgeable about when to cut it and what can happen if I cut it too early.  I had had a power outage in my garage and I inquired whether the tree roots could be causing some electrical issues.  He told me he didn't know, but the best part was that he spent 45 extra minutes investigating the garage and told me EXACTLY what to tell the electrician when I have them come out.  When the electrician came, I told him what Steve Briggs told me and he went to the exact spot and we discovered that Steve was exactly right!  Before Steve left, he asked if there was anything else that he could do to help me.  I had another tree service provider come out to give me an estimate and it was $150 more expensive than Briggs Tree Service.  When I asked him about what Steve told me about the timing of the tree cutting and what can befall the tree, he told me that now was as good a time as ever to cut the tree down and he didn't go into any detail.  After he left, I did some more investigation about what Steve told me about the ash and the virus that can kill my tree if I cut it right now and found out that Steve was EXACTLY right!  He is truly an expert arborist and can be trusted!"

"One word can describe Roger, his crew, and their work -AWESOME!!!   From start to finish Roger and his team where very
accommodating even when hiccups occurred.   After the deck was torn off, we discovered there was a lot of wood rot that would need to be repaired before the steps were completed.  Roger and his team completed as much of the patio and steps as they could, then once the wood was repaired six days laterby a handyman they came back to finish the job and put flashing to make sure it wouldn?t happen again.  Roger and his team are extremely conscious about the work being done as well as making sure the customer is happy.  An hour after they finished (and most of the next week) there was a lot of heavy rain and some of the locking sand did not completely dry and was washed away between the pavers on the steps.  I called Roger and asked for some sand to put into the gaps on the steps, they came out and reapplied a new layer on top of the whole patio as well as filled in all the gaps on the steps.  The sand is now dry, locked and looks great.  Everyone was very nice and very hard working, at the end of each day everything was cleaned up and hauled away.  They went above and beyond what was in the contract - installing a underground drain pipe leading about 30 feet away from downspout that was draining under the deck, Installing new sod and mulch around the patio...even providing mulch to cover existing beds to hide the dust created from cutting the pavers.   Very happy with the results, they went above and beyond for the price we paid.  Will definitely have roger and his crew out to do some other projects this fall or next spring

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Tree roots don’t necessarily break through concrete on their own, but they can certainly take advantage of existing cracks, even very small ones. As roots grow, they expand the cracks, making them larger and leading to serious and costly foundation damage. It’s a good idea to have repairs on any foundation cracks you’re concerned about.

Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Transplanting a palm tree is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn’t need to be as large as a “true” tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it’s important to give them extra support when staking. 

After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It’s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.
