"First to respond to my request for an estimate. Understood exactly what was needed with minimum explanation. Worked well within my schedule, and was extremely prompt.
Very effectively removed piles of wood I had stacked in several places. Removed trees with no damage whatever to house and garage - which was my primary concern.
Ellis Tree Service was concerned with possible damage to sidewalk. Took precautions to prevent that damage, but sidewalk was still cracked. Cracks not really visible until several hours after vendor left, and becoming more visible as weeks pass. Probably not bad enough to require replacement, and I did NOT call to complain.
Left ruts in several places in grass. This was at least in part due to the desire to work within my schedule. Truck was very heavy, and lawn was softer than expected. Nothing that can't be fixed with a little effort - just annoying. A few small limbs on trees in staging areas were broken. Again nothing serious, and something can be fixed with less than an hours' effort.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations. 

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.

While the trees in your backyard are good for the environment and look beautiful, they could present a danger to your home under the wrong circumstances. This task is typically beyond the capabilities of the average homeowner due to its dangerous nature, so it’s best to leave this task to a professional. In some cities, it’s even illegal to remove a tree yourself.
