"I interviewed several different companies and Steven and Arbor Image was the most impressive and gave me the best quote. They were polite, very professional, and everything was done exactly as we discussed and they did a great job cleaning up when the job was finished. I would highly recommend them and plan on using their company for some landscaping this spring."

"Highly Recommend! Josh's Tree and Landscaping did what other companies said couldn't be done! I had three massive oak trees in my backyard that needed to come down, including one over 80 feet tall and dangerously close to my house. Two other companies wouldn't even attempt the job because of the size, limited access, and proximity to structures. Josh and his crew took on the challenge and did an absolutely amazing job! Without being able to use a crane, they removed all three trees the old-fashioned way, with incredible skill, teamwork, and precision. Not a single bit of damage to my house, fences, or neighboring property. And the icing on the cake? Their price was much less than what other companies had estimated! It's rare to find a crew with this combination of skill, work ethic, positive attitude, and fair pricing. Josh and his team accomplished what others wouldn't even attempt. I couldn't be more pleased and would recommend them without hesitation!"

"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!"

"I hired Henry to remove a tree and stump. He did an excellent job and his price was very fair. I actually paid him more than his quoted price because he and his work was that impressive. He arrived as scheduled and worked safely. His equipment is in excellent condition. He left the area clean and tidy. I would definitely hire him again."

"I have used Paul Terry many times for tree service. He has trimmed limbs, taken trees down and I even asked if he could put up a rope swing for my grandchildren in a big oak tree. I have always had professional work performed by Paul Terry Tree Service. Our most recent tree service was the removal of tree limbs on our huge oak tree. And as always the work was done timely and professionally. Apparently Paul has recently partnered with Ron Graham. I have known Ron Graham for 20+ years. He is and has always been very professional and a hard working job individual. I strongly believe Ron and Paul have a very good future in their Tree Service Business. I totally recommend Paul & Ron for any tree & landscaping service. Thank you guys for a superb professional job. And also I would like to give a big shout out to their employee Rick Robb for a great job also. Rick Applegate"

"I was contacted the same day as I posted my need, Mr Franklin came by and gave me a reasonable price to do the work and stated he could do it the next day. He picked up the supplies from Lowes where I had ordered them and brought it to my home. His crew did a great job of replacing 5 shrubs and laying new mulch. They were efficient, and were friendly while doing the job. I am very pleased with the work they did. Would definitely recommend them to others. Thanks again, Bea"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Absolutely. These steps are significantly easier, too, especially when it comes to preserving the root ball and moving the palm tree. However, you will want to make sure the tree has plenty of fertilizer to establish itself and start growing. Supports may also be more important, as it can take extra time for a potted palm to spread out its roots. If you are transferring a palm to another pot, you’ll want to move up a size or two to a larger pot. Make sure the pot has excellent drainage to keep the palm from getting waterlogged.

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.

If you ever want to see the literal fruits of your labor, you’ll need to prune your peach trees. Without pruning, the trees may not grow or bear fruit since the nutrients will be divided among too many offshoots to provide any with enough energy to produce the peaches. Plus, if parts of the peach tree become diseased or pest-ridden, pruning can nip those problems in the bud.

Coverage varies quite a bit by policy, but most homeowners' insurance policies will cover $500 to $1,000 of the cost of removing a tree. Additionally, if your tree causes damage to your property, like your house, many policies will cover some or all of the costs to repair the damage, depending on why the tree fell.

Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning how to get rid of regrowing tree roots is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional.
