"It was a dead tree and very shaky. They dropping it in sections and didn't damage anything. They chunked it up so we can split for burning. They stacked the wood and took small branches to burn pile. Cleaned up the really small pieces. They also put everything back where they had moved so it wouldn't be damaged. They did a great job"

"Aron and his brother Noah, were an excellent pair of workers! I had a barn fire which damaged 13 large trees I could not rebuild without having them removed. I called Triple Tree and made an appointment Aron came out the next morning he was a little bit early but text me before his arrival, we agreed that he would do the work and set a date for him to get started , Aron and his brother showed up on time and before they left that day they had 10 of the 13 trees down and cleaned up , logs stacked in my field for fire wood and all the branches chipped as well! The following morning they were again on time and this time they brought another tree expert Isaac and they cut down the last 3 huge trees that day! They worked through a steady rain all day and finished the job and cleaned up my yard before they left! These guys are awesome workers and very polite! Oh yeah the price was very reasonable and their work was great I would highly recommend them! I will definitely give them a call if I!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

Most tree surgeons cost around $100 per hour or between $70 and $200 per hour for their services. You might get flat fees for more straightforward services, like a tree assessment, tree removal, stump grinding, and one-off treatments, but many times, treatments for tree diseases or pests will be charged based on an hourly rate or a per-visit rate. Since the cost of a tree surgeon can vary widely, it’s best to speak with an arborist near you to get an idea of what your particular issue will cost to correct.

A serrated knife will work for cutting off small palm tree fronds, about 1 inch in diameter. For larger fronds, you will need pruning shears. You may also use a pruning saw, and if your palm tree is especially tall, an extended pole saw can help you reach the brown fronds around the trunk.

Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree.
