"Tate Tree Service is an excellent value for anyone looking for quality, efficent work done at an unbeatable price. I had a huge Elm branch that was hanging over my house removed, a large Callery Pear tree topped (20+') and a not easily accessible line of trees trimmed back at the edge of my property behind a guest house. Scott, Jason and Josh all did a great job and I would highly recommend them for any tree service you might need. Everything was done in only 3.5 hours AND Jason even cleaned my gutters out for me. You won't find a better value for less. Highly recommended, 5 stars. Thanks Tate Tree Service!"

"Tree was overhanging awning and power, cable and telephone lines. Jake and his crew were able to cut back large limbs without damaging awning or power, cable or telephone lines, They removed all wood and leaves and cleaned up completely. They used a large wood chipper and a bucket truck and were able to maneuver through all the obstacles to remove the tree"

"From start to finish the guys from J & D Forestry were great to work with. I first called them asking them to give me a quote for some land clearing for a future shed I was going to build. Devin came out same day and provided me with a more than reasonable quote. I moved forward right then and there. The crew showed up within the next couple of days to knock out the job. Their equipment was clean and well taken care of, the work performed was professional and executed exactly how we discussed. I couldn’t have asked for a better job from J&D Forestry. By far the best forestry company I’ve dealt with and highly recommend these guys."

"This company was very professional. They removed 3 trees and trimmed 3 trees. They cleaned up after themselves and left the yard in good condition. This was my first time hiring someone for tree service and I am a satisfied customer. Will hire them to do additional work in the future."

"Excellent job!!! I happened to see them working for my neighbor and asked them if they would take a look at my trees. They gave me a fair quote and got to work immediately with trimming my 2 trees once they finished the first job. I got home the next morning and couldn't have been more pleased with the work. OUTSTANDING!!!!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

If a tree isn’t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.
