Very easy to work with. Good communications and first rate advice from Steve, there arborist. Worked fast, did exactly what we agreed needed doing and cleaned up well after the job was done. Follow up by their staff to check on completeness and quality of the job.

I specifically wanted an Arborist instead just a guy with a chainsaw because I had a 25yr old Amur maple with a large trunk that was splitting at a weak fork, and needed to know if the tree could be saved. It otherwise would eventually break apart in a wind or ice storm. Adam, the Arborist, made...

They are terrific. Great office support staff and we received quote right away. Price was very competitive. Also, the landscaper who originally removed the old tree (not Trees R Us) did not do a good job removing the old roots. Trees R Us did what they needed to do to dig deep enough for the...

Excellent service. The arborist, Lou, contacted us shortly after I made the inquiry and set up a time to come over. He looked over the site and suggested several possible trees, then later sent us an email with three specific varieties and their costs. After we signed the contract, they arranged...

Before I used to feel that the arborist came out and last time I felt they didn’t. The guys were in a hurry. They were prompt and they respond very quickly. They were just unsupervised workers. I would probably use them again and make sure that somebody came out to supervise the workers.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If you don’t cut down a dead, dying, or diseased tree, it can become a nesting place for pests like mosquitos, bees, beetles, wasps, fly larvae, and more. Some pests will live in the tree, while others will feed off the decaying wood. Unhealthy trees are also more likely to fall over, potentially injuring people and causing damage to your property.

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped.
A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.
A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.

Trimming a tree can take anywhere from just two hours to a full day, depending on the age of the tree, the number of trees, and the species. Young trees are generally easier to trim, as their branches are often thinner in diameter and easier to reach compared to mature trees. They also tend to be healthier. If you haven’t trimmed your trees before or it’s been a while, the process could take even longer.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

Full decorating services often provide rental trees for their Christmas packages, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding one. However, individual interior decorators and others may not offer rented trees, so always check the specifics of their services before booking. Keep in mind that you’ll need to prepare the Christmas tree for pick-up shortly after the holidays.
