"Beach tree service came out at 5:30 PM to remove a massive tree that had fallen on my house. The workers were very professional and good at removing the tree with a crane until 1030 that night. The cleanup crew came the very next day and removed all of the debris and tree from my home. I would just like to thank the beach tree service for a great job."

"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."

"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."

"Just after I agreed to use Max Effort Services to trim my tree the weather turned and rained for a long time. Jordan was in contact with me and kept me informed. My yard is a very tight space but he was able to maneuver the lift with what looked like ease. Jordan and his crew came and trimmed a large Oak tree by my house. Awesome job. Great and professional."

"Bernie Gripshover is a blessing! I recently had a tree come down during an ice storm & it was leaning on my house. He gave me a quote for tree removal and he was the best out of 3. I decided to go with him but to contact him on Monday. On Saturday night I heard the tree start to slide along my gutter. I was afraid it would fall on my heat pump. I called & explained my situation. He offered to come over that night to get it off my house. He was there in 30 minutes & the tree was down shortly thereafter. He had very little light to work with & even got on my roof to cut the branches away safely. He came back on Monday & removed the entire tree along with cleaning up the mess the tree had left. I'm very happy with his customer service & highly recommend him. He showed up when he said he would & stayed in touch to keep me in the loop. Rare qualities in contractors today. Again, I highly recommend him. You won't be disappointed. Maggie in Edgewood Ky."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.
