"I have two very large oak trees that needed some serious thinning out and trimming. Mary was a delight to talk to and share about their family business. She made me feel comfortable with my choice to hire. Marvin came out and gave a fair estimate on the work that needed to be done to save my roof and the trees. He called his arborist out to check on the health of one tree and answered all my questions about trying to save it or take it down. We decided to try to save it. On the day of service we observed a squirrel entering the tree that's health was a concern. The level at which the squirrels had made their home brought little doubt that the tree could be saved and more worries about it causing serious damage if it falls. This tree will have to be removed. I'm extremely satisfied with the job that was done considering the task at hand. Everyone on the crew was professional, causious and courteous. The clean up job was above and beyond my expectations. I would definitely recommend them and will use them in the future for all my tree and lawn care needs."

"I highly recommend Jeff and everyone at Metro Tree Service! I will never use anyone else. Outstanding service from Jeff and the guys who were here yesterday! They came out in just a couple days after I called them to cut down my tree. Very professional, super fast and so friendly. To top it off, fantastic pricing compared to 10 other companies that bid on our job. The yard looks fantastic! There isn't so much as a twig left in my yard! Great job cleaning up! I couldn't be any happier! Thank you so much! Have a Merry Christmas! 🎁🎅🎄"

"Michael and Bruce are fantastic and really helpful with advising how to handle older trees with issues. Their team handily trimmed and removed limbs, branches, and entire trees on our acre+ lot. They also cleaned up boxwoods. The whole yard looks like it has had a spa day. We will use them again for future cleanups, snow removal, and more!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

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.
