"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."

"We have an 80ft Oak tree is was starting to lean over our garage. John and Ken French, and their crew, our so good in what they do. I was blown away. Then, on top of that they clean for everything we have them do was first class! We had a bad experience with the tree crew before so we research on Angi. John called within 10minutes of us filling out the form in Angi. They do way more than tree work and their work ethic is really and truly beyond compare. I would highly recommend them for any work around the home. I will give 10 stars but 5 is the max and their earn every one of them. We live in East Peoria Illinois."

"Bella did a great job trimming the dead wood out of our Ash tree. Their Arborist took the time to consult with us on future treatment for the tree and steps we can take to continue trying to save it after being ravaged by the ash bore. Very pleased with the work and their professionalism. Will be calling them again and will definitely recommend to others."

"Very pleased with work, clean up, time for project completion, and customer service.  Little extras were done as well such as spreading extra mulch around trees in front.  When work was completed the project manager, came over and explained how to care for the plants and gave us tips.  A week later the owner came out to check the job and to see if we were satisfied.  We signed another contract with him for additional work.  I will continue to work with this company as they seem very knowledgeable and take great pride in their work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

Since summer is a busy time for tree companies, the cheapest time of year to remove a tree is during the winter. February and March are typically the prime time to hire a tree removal pro, and some homeowners living in colder climates can save around 20% off services. It depends on location and the company, but you can always shop around for the best deal.

On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

Dutch elm disease can’t harm humans. In fact, according to Cal Fire, bark beetles aren’t even typically dangerous to trees unless that tree is already weakened. The problem comes when Dutch elm disease kills a tree. That tree is more at risk of falling and catching fire, which can pose a serious threat.
