"Paulo and Sons were quick with a quote and were able to complete the job quickly and for a great price. Since we were having stumps ground they asked that we get our utilities marked by JULIE; other pros didn't even suggest this; Paulo and Sons are thinking about safety first! Once our yard was marked, I called and they came to complete the job in less than 24 hours. They removed 4 arborvitae (10-18 feet tall) and trimmed a crab apple tree. Great work and would not hesitate to call again!"

"Jorge did a fantastic job on my trees. It was a big job. His communication and follow thru were both excellent. Hard worker and went the extra mile on trimming the trees. He arrive early and was there all day until the job was done and cleaned up. Once he left everything was back in its place and yard was spotless. I highly recommend Cedar V. Best value you find."

"Great Job! They removed a huge tree in our backyard. They arrived on time within a week of me hiring them. They came on a Saturday so I could be home when they cut down the tree. They were the only quote I got that did not require the electricity to my house be turned off for the day, as the electric wire went under the tree. It ended up not being a problem for them! They cleaned up the yard and my roof afterwards. The price they quoted was great! Very satisfied with their job! Would highly recommend them!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.

Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.

Tree pruning is a common and helpful tree maintenance technique that involves carefully cutting and trimming unwanted branches so that the tree can continue to grow and thrive. Pruning is done carefully and intentionally. Tree topping is a frowned-upon method that involves removing and cutting most or the entirety of the top of the tree, including structurally important branches.

Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they’re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.
