"They did a great job for my trees. Reasonable prices for me are great. They came right away the next day. And no fuss, just got it done safely. Just to let you know, if there are things in the way of falling limbs, remove them first. They were very skilled."

"I hired M.H. Tree Service after they came to my home to give me an estimate. Their rates fit within my budget for the project. The guys were very professional, gave me a quote and removed my tree promptly and effortlessly the next morning. They are professional and cleaned up the debris from my front yard after they removed the tree. I would definitely recommend their services."

"Paulo, Sr. and Paulo, Jr. trimmed four trees for us this morning. We had them take down an entire tree in the summer of 2022 as well. Both experiences were outstanding. They are timely, professional, efficient and you don't even know they've been in your yard when they leave. Would highly recommend them for any tree service you need."

"Efrain came out on 10/17/23 and gave me a very reasonable quote to cut down 2 20 foot arborvitae trees and trim one tree. The team came out the next day and took care of it in a very short time. The team did a great job and cleaned up afterwards. I will definitely recommend them and use them on future jobs."

"Kevin and his father did a fabulous job! We needed to have our trees trimmed, weeds removed, and hedge cut/removed. They both worked efficiently, completing each task required, were courteous and professional. Very easy to talk to and very pleasant to work with. Additionally, they cleaned up the area spotlessly and hauled away all the debris. We would definitely use them again."

"Nice company to deal with, and Indy was able to complete my project when I needed it done. I had a medium-large project, which he was nice to break down into smaller jobs that I could have completed at my own pace. No pressure from him, and I m really pleased with the outcome. Will hire for the remainder of my project down the road."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.

If you don’t stake a tree that needs support, it could be at greater risk of being damaged or failing completely, whether it uproots or falls over. That could cause damage to your property or other surrounding trees. If you want to grow healthy trees, you may need to stake them for best results.

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease. 

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.
