"The owner came to see our project, discussed my goals, and agreed that he would be back to do the project in two days. He called that morning and said that he would be here at 9 AM. He arrived promptly, brought quality equipment, truck trailer, and his assistant. The assistant is an expert tree climber. Before I knew it, he was up in the tree secured by a rope and a safety harness. Our tree had been twisted in a windstorm and half of it was cracked and needed to be removed, and we hoped to save the other half. They pruned off the outer edges of all of the branches to manageable sizes, dropped them to the ground, and ultimately cut off the main part of the trunk. It was expert top notch, 100% accurate every step of the way. Then they removed all of the debris, raked up the sawdust and left the yard in perfect condition. I couldn't be happier with their work and would recommend them highly to anyone looking for a high-quality expert tree service. And it was very reasonably priced"

"We had a great experience with this tree service company. We first met them when our neighbor’s Maple tree fell, and we were impressed with how hard they worked, responding to the emergency and handling everything professionally. When our large pine tree in the backyard died, we called them to take it down. They did an excellent job from start to finish. You can tell they care about their work. Highly recommend this family tree service team if you need any tree work done. Great people and great service!"

"The crew was on time and did an excellent job. The tree had to be climbed for the limbs to be removed due to the tree's location. They completed the job quickly and cleaned up the debris. We would definitely call them again!!"

"They did a great job. I had a chunk of saplings on the property that had taken root enough they would take some elbow grease to remove. Byron showed me their work progress and talked me through their work process to ensure we were both on the same page for the job request. They dug out the root system on each sapling/tree and filled the holes back in. Took all the excess foliage off the property with them as well. I can’t say how the prices compare to other companies services, but it was worth it for me for the peace of mind and how quickly they got back to my job listing. Saplings can be such a pain when they take root and start destroying your foundation/property."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

Sudden oak death and oak wilt are different diseases. Oak wilt first shows up in tree leaves while sudden oak death affects the branches and trunk. However, as symptoms in both can overlap, it’s best to consult a professional arborist tree expert for a proper diagnosis and development of a treatment plan.

It depends on the type of tree. Typically, late spring on the cusp of winter is ideal for trees about to emerge from dormancy and produce new buds. That said, late fall is ideal for certain deciduous trees prone to bleeding sap. Avoid trimming trees in early spring, when they’re prone to disease.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees.
