"Felmar tree service was incredible! They took down a 50 foot tree in less than 3 hours. Very professional. They cleaned up as if it never happened. I would definitely hire them again and would encourage others to contact them. Great job!"

"My rating on value for money is based on being old and the fact that everything is overpriced to me, not a reflection of this company. I received a quote from them as well as two other Angi rated companies. As prices for all three were almost identical I chose the company with the slightly higher review rating. They arrived three days later as promised and completed the trimming of my three trees quickly and efficiently as well as doing a very good job of cleaning up. I asked for a few places to be trimmed a bit more and also a couple of dead limbs on the apple tree that they had missed to be removed. The employees quickly and politely did as I asked. In conclusion I recommend Greenworks for tree service and due to the professionalism that they be considered for other work as well."

Tree Service FAQs, 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.

Often, it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to handle the aftermath when a neighbor’s tree falls on their property. But if a tree has been obviously dead for a significant period of time and caused damage when it fell, a case can be made that the owner should have removed it, especially if the neighbor wrote you a letter about the tree or asked you to take it down. This can be grounds for a successful lawsuit in claims court and is a good reason to always pay attention to your trees and remove dead trees before they fall.

If an arborist is certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the highest level of certification available is ISA Board Certified Master Arborist. According to the ISA, this credential is reserved for arborists “who have reached the pinnacle of their profession.” Check your arborist’s credentials before hiring to confirm their level of training and expertise.

Consumers typically do not need to worry about the cost of tree insurance, as professional tree service companies pay for their own coverage. For a tree service business, an average U.S. policy covering about $1 million in general liability costs roughly $40 a month or $500 a year. More extensive policies, providing between $500,000 to $2 million in coverage, can cost between $3,000 and $6,000 annually, depending on the company's size and scope of work. Tree service professionals should speak with an insurance company to determine the right plan for their business.

The best pro to hire for spraying trees is a tree maintenance specialist. These pros are well-versed in selecting the right spray treatment and applying it properly to ensure there’s no collateral damage to the tree or surrounding landscape. Many tree maintenance services employ certified arborists, but for these routine visits, the extra investment usually isn’t necessary.
