"We had a very large tree that needed to be removed in our backyard with very tight excess to it. Deven and the crew did a great job, no, they did an excellent job. From cutting down the tree to removal of all the limbs and grinding out the two stumps it was done very professionally. This company does and follows thru with everything they promise to do. We are so happy with the respectful way they treated us and our property. I would highly recommend this company. They are Great!"

"Gabe and his crew really came through for me! I've been trying for almost a year to get someone to remove a HUGE oak tree from my tiny backyard in the house that I bought. It should have been removed decades ago. It's right up against houses, garages, and power lines, and causes damage almost every time it storms. I got quotes from over 30 companies ranging from $6k to $22k. I never imagined it would cost so much for one tree! I picked one of the more reputable yet not outrageously priced companies back in September. (Raney Tree) after signing the quote, they ignored me for months. I moved on to another company in April who matched Raneys quote. (Squirrel Tree). Again I was ghosted. I knew I had a problem tree that nobody wanted and I couldn't afford to pay any more to have it removed. I reached out to Gabe on the 4th of July and by the end of the month my tree was gone! He probably regretted taking the job by the end, but he and his crew got it done and did a great job. It's such a huge stress relief! My neighbors are also very grateful!! Thank you so much for coming through when others didn't. I will recommend you to everyone I know!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"We have only had the estimate, agreement & hire, so far, but I am very pleased with this company. They came out on a blizzard-like day, were on time, friendly & had good communication. We agreed on a price for the intended Trim Trees job, and scheduled it for this next weekend, as it should be nicer weather out then. I'll post photos of the before & after, once the job is completed. Thanks for all your help, Angi."

"I had a major tree limb on my roof. They came and gave me a fair estimate right away and got the work done the next day. They were fair, friendly, professional and did a good job of cleaning up afterward. I would definitely recommend this company."

Small jobs welcome

Hello, my name is Josh. Im 20 years old, I have a strong back, and just enough experience to help you accomplish what you might not be able to. Whether its because you are inexperienced/unable, too busy, lack the proper tools/equipment, or simply because you don't want to (trust me, im the last one to judge). I have professional experience in construction, minor landscaping, and instalation. This includes concrete flatwork, grading (gravel, soild, sand, ect), lawn/garden maintenance, minor carpentry, mounting/instalation. I can paint, clean, im not afraid to use a ladder or get on your roof. I have a pickup truck if you need to move furniture or other large objects, and the capability to load it for you. Bottom line is that what ever task you cant acomplish on your own, I can handle, no questions asked, no crazy 2 hour minimums or really any bs in general. If youve ever thought "I need a guy for this" Josh is your man

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Trees aren't big fans of moving, and they do go into shock during a transplant. Although most carefully thought-out tree transplants see the tree recover from the shock just fine, there is always a risk of having an unsuccessful move. Proper preparation, timing, and diligent aftercare are crucial to minimize the risks when transplanting a tree.

Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning how to get rid of regrowing tree roots is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.
