"George and his crew were on time and did a great job. When they left the yard looked the same as it was when they got there. They were about 70 feet tall and crew a great job. Would hire them again in a heartbeat and will again this fall for my Bradford tree in front yard."

"Perfect. Quick and orderly. Was considerate to not damage other trees. Cleaned up the yard debris afterward and returned at later date to grind stumps. I could not be happier with the service."

"Mike and AM Tree and Landscaping were wonderful! They listened to our concerns, made suggestions and explained WHY they were going to trim the way they did. They touched base with us regularly to make sure we were all on the same page! They went above and beyond what tree services we’d ever had before! Clean up was spot on and all at a very reasonable price. We definitely recommend them to everyone!"

"The best tree removal I've ever experienced. I had a 50+ foot maple overhanging my garage and another just as tall close by. Bernie examined the second tree and suggested that it be removed, as well, because there were indications that the "heart" of the tree had rotted. Turned out he was right. Bernie's crew arrived on time. They were courteous, efficient, and they were well-equipped. Because of the location of the trees, they had to be de-limbed before they were cut. Their Track-Lift made the operation safer than climbing and cutting. Once the limbs had been cut and lowered to the ground, they cut lengths of the tree off from the top. All well controlled, well coordinated, and safe. After that, per contract, they removed the limbs. We kept the trunks for fire wood. Then they raked the debris from the driveway and used a leaf-blower to finish the job. I couldn't have asked for better service. It was a pleasure watching them work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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. 

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

Most tree removals take 3-8 hours, requiring additional time for stump grinding or debris hauling.

Many consider the Fraser fir to be the most popular type of Christmas tree, but which type of tree sells out near you can depend on region and decorating trends that year. For example, the Leyland cypress is especially popular in the Southeast, according to the National Christmas Tree Association.
