"These guys (and gal) did a terrific job removing a 40+ year old maple tree from my front yard. They were very professional, friendly, honest and it was very obvious they were experienced. Safely was a priority. They cleaned the mess completely and even cut down a rose of Sharon at no additional charge. They were also very reasonably priced. Licensed and insured. I will be calling them again when tree service is needed."

"Will be using this company for all my lawn needs from now on. They were the only company that was upfront and honest about what my trees really needed. I had two removed that were diseased and splitting and the other tree only needed treated and cut back. They saved one of my trees everyone else wanted to take down. They treated the areas for termites after removing the bad trees and planted grass seed for me as well. They cleaned up all their mess! All of the men were very respectful to my neighbors and their properties as well. If you need an honest complete service crew that will respect you and your property as well as not break the bank…do yourself a favor and call them! Thank you so much for making my yard beautiful!"

"Mr. Lambert is a skilled professional. We live in a populated area and wanted to remove large sycamore trees and poplar and pine trees. Some of these trees were over 90 feet.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don’t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project.  

You can often tell if a tree is grafted because it will have a noticeable line. Above the line, the bark will look different than it does below the line. It’s most common with fruit trees.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

Pruning can impact cold hardiness—but it’s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don’t want to prune trees when there’s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it’s pruned.

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.
