"Great service from start to finish. Matt showed up for the 1st appointment on time and gave me a quote on the spot. His crew did a great job removing two big locust trees and a smaller tree for a very competitive price. They also did a good job cleaning up the area. Only complaint was a few plantings got ruined but somewhat understandable given the scope of the work performed. Overall 2 thumbs up."

"Last week I needed 2 of the stumps dug out deeper I called Steve,he gave me his brothers name,Mark who does the stumps.I called him I Steve Briggs to trim my six ash trees,he came out to look and said lets hold off till fall incase the ash borer got them(he didn't want me waste my money),sure enough 2 months later the ash borer killed them and the township cut them down.He saved me a lot of $$$.What a honest man.
to do the regrindscalled and he gave me a price to do them for $50.00 each,what a great price! He came out on time did the regrinds and cleaned up.Great service.Will use again.
By the way,Steve told me about Jim's Trees In Beecher for nice trees at a fraction of the cost of a landscape store.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

It depends on where you live—but in most areas, leaves begin falling in September and continue falling until January or February. Warmer regions, such as Southern states, may see leaves fall a bit later in the calendar year. It also depends on the type of trees in your yard and their maturity. 

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.
