"They had the whole tree taken down within the afternoon. The tree was surrounded by power lines,which no other tree service could handle with the equipment they had. They pulled out the remaining roots that would've damaged our newly paved driveway . We also were very satisfied with their landscaping . Highly recommended! They will be the first to call if we need any work done."

"Wonderful ! I searched Angi for companies/individuals who met their criteria for excellence. After reviewing all of the prospective candidates; I decided to go with James Haney’s tree service. My overall satisfaction rating exceeds “Outstanding”. I was called by thowner to clarify my job requests, and schedule a day/time which best fit my schedule. On the day of the job, I was notified by phone of their arrival time. Then I was provided with an update within 30minutes of their (3 men) arrival. They were prompt and polite. After a brief introduction, and clarification of the tree trimming and removal requests, along with bushes that needed extensive trimming;; the team immediately got to work. During their work, I indicated other trimming/removal requests; which were pleasantly accepted. An added price above what the original estimate/cost was explained to me. I accepted these new project costs. Without writing a contract; I wrote another check to cover these new costs; just like I did for the original job. Being overwhelmed with everyone’s professionalism, being utterly amazed; it really “Blew my Mind !” This was an EXPression from the 60’s, that was not drug related. Their trailer was full, and they took the limbs, branches and debris away. Unexpectedly, while I was inside of my home; I heard a chainsaw on the side of my home. I thought that it was my neighbor. I walked out the front door. Instead of seeing my neighbor it was the crew from James’ tree service; already hard at work. After much more progress on my related tree removal jobs, they took a lunch break. Well deserved ! When the team returned; they continued to be very professional in their duties; confirming my satisfaction or dissatisfaction with their works. Even though I witnessed outstanding work during the morning; I remained absolutely Being amazed at the high quality work that was continuing. Although I wan’t asked to rate the quality of the job completion; I would rate their work reliability and quality as an 11 using a 0 - 10 scale."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

Costs depend on tree height, trunk diameter, removal complexity, and required equipment.

It may not be worth it to rake every leaf in your yard, but it’s necessary to remove the majority of leaves to prevent them from smothering grass growth on your lawn. However, raking leaves isn’t your only option for leaf removal. You can remove leaves easily with a leaf blower or compost or mulch them with your lawn mower to repurpose them to help grow your garden or yard.

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.

Planting a palm tree close to your home can provide shade while elevating the beauty of your yard. However, there are a few safety concerns to consider before doing so. You’ll want to opt for a smaller tree with a non-invasive root system. Select a species that won’t grow too tall and choose a planting location that won’t damage your home.
