"The owner of the company came to my house the day after I called in to look at the tree work I needed done and had an estimate bat to me the next day. I got scheduled the next week trees were removed and debris cleaned up. Excellent customer service, I would recommend Hardline to my family and friends."

"It went well. They were just a little late getting to us, but they had a good reason and called beforehand to let us know. They worked quickly but were still careful not to damage anything. The owner is a young man but very responsible and hard working. Would def hire again."

"My yard was overgrown, and I had trees down. Let's just say my yard was a complete mess, and I cant move around to get it done on my own. I hired Matt and Alex to come and mow my lawn that was overgrown and to cut trees that had fallen from previous storms. Let me tell you they did a fabulous job. From ths time that they arrived till they left they worked hard and my yard looks incredible. Another plus is they are incredibly friendly and care about what they do and it shows in their work. Their prices are reasonable and for the effort they put into their work they should charge more. In my opinion I'd say this is a passion for Matt and Alex and it shows. I would recommend them to anyone."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

The shepherd’s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over 230 feet deep. Some African communities refer to it as the “Tree of Life” since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.
