"George came out this morning to give us an estimate on removal of a large tree (and smaller tree nearby) which came down in a storm and also removal of a lot of honeysuckle in our wooded lot. His price estimates on the 2 projects were very reasonable and he said that he could do the tree removal today. He also recommended that we wait until Spring for the honeysuckle removal so that it would turn green and we wouldn't run the risk of taking out too much and losing privacy. We felt that this was a great idea and appreciated his advice. George and his crew did a great job with the tree removal and we also appreciated how careful they were in transporting the logs across our lawn to avoid any damage. We will definitely have George and his crew back in the Spring to remove the honeysuckle and will be contacting him for all of our future tree work."

"Adam showed up to look at the job right on time. I had 3 very large tall trees that needed to fall he looked very confident that it would not be a problem. We estimated the tree were close to 100 ft tall.Gave me a reasonable price. Set a date. He showed up right on time him and his brother got out some very nice gear and went to work. All 3 of these trees would have easily took out my house. They climbed the trees and hooked up rigging and carefully cut the tops out of these trees and then dropped them right where they planned. It was awesome. They were a pleasure to work with. I can not say anything bad. I am very satisfied and would recommend pro landscape services to everyone. David Horn"

"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"These guys are awesome. If your needing good tree service quickly and affordable these are your go to guys for all tree services. They cut down two big trees that where concern because they where dead and a liability to my neighbor properties. They showed when they said they would and worked until complete. Clean up was good and almost like they where never there. If I could give them 10 stars I would. It is apparent I will recommend these guys to everyone for their tree services. Thank you for your hard work and service. Thank you, Jared"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Signs include dead branches, growth over structures, diseases, pests, or roots impacting hardscapes.

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. 

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.
