"Great job. Victor and Gabriela were extremely friendly and understanding to our needs. Large tree close to the house in the backyard. The 3 person crew had experience to drop all the limbs safely. Price was competitive for a maple with 3 large spires At 60 plus feet tall the 7 hour completion was impressive. Logging truck showed the same day and removed all the trunk pieces during stump grinding and clean up. Sad to see the big old girl go, but she took a serious lightening strike and held her own until it was time..."

"Bowline is the best tree service around. Customer service is great Kevin is kind, honest and hardworking. Him and his crew have cut two very large trees down for us and did the stump grind in the past 2 weeks. They do a wonderful job, they clean up, they show up on time and his prices are very fair. I will recommend this company to anyone looking for work time and time again. Thank you so much Kevin for working with us!"

"Andrew's trees service gave me several options. Decided on having two tall trees and one good size branch (storm damage) removed. Awesome price, work and completed quickly. Cleaned up with no stray branches around. Can't even tell where they did the work, except for the two stumps! Plan on using again in the fall. Highly recommend!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

The cost of professional tree trimming averages $460, with a typical range between $200 and $760. However, prices can be as low as $75 or as high as $1,800 depending on several factors. The size and type of the tree are major cost drivers; for example, trimming Crepe Myrtle trees costs an average of $80 to $400, while trimming giant pine trees can range from $200 to $1,800. Other factors that influence the price include the time of year, as services are often more costly in the spring. The tree's accessibility and your location also play a role, as a remote or hard-to-reach tree may increase the cost. Some professionals may offer a discount if you have multiple trees to trim.

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.

Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an “Angi Approved” badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.
