"We are extremely pleased with the work DM Tree Service did. The crew arrived when they said they would the morning of April 20th and in less than six hours both of our 80-ft tall water maples were down and everything had been cleared away. It was a joy watching them work. It was like a well-oiled machine! The cost was more than reasonable for the work they did. They took all safety precautions and nothing in our yard was damaged. We highly recommend this company."

"Champion was prompt and did a great job cutting my tree down to a stump, then hauling away all the branches. His price was extremely reasonable. I would rehire him for any other services he offers."

"We had a great experience with Sunset Mountain Tree Service. Came and quoted the job, came the next morning on time and cut 1 tree down and grinded the stump and trimmed another tree . Then cleaned up the debris. Everything looks fabulous and I will call them back for any future needs. Definitely would recommend them to anyone needing tree service"

"

I needed 2 trees removed (one covered in poison ivy) and accepted the estimate given by the

owner, Brian. Shortly after, he showed up with 2 other men and in no time had both trees down with no trace of twigs or poison ivy. Although the trees I needed removed were out in the open, he brought his truck with the crane attached just in case. He also has a large box truck with a very large chipper attached for all the debris. The men were professional and got the job done very quickly. Would definately use them again, especially since they beat all the other estimates hands down!

"Jason gave me a detailed estimate that was reasonable and delivered his services on time and on budget. He took down the tree, dethached the lawn, aerated the lawn and power seeded. The grass is coming in beautifully. There were a few missed spots and he came back and overseeded the entire lawn along with fertilizing. I had several questions along the way and he responded to each one in a timely manner. I would definitely hire him again for any future needs. :)"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

Trimming your palm trees once or twice per year keeps them healthy and robust. Caring for palm trees includes cutting off brown leaves to prevent wildfires and pathway obstruction. However, you don’t want to over-trim the palm tree. Cutting too many branches off will weaken the tree and prevent future growth. And it’s essential to have a strong, healthy palm tree during hurricane season to prevent safety risks or property damage.
