"The crew was out the next day from when I booked them, professional, fast, and did not leave a mess. I am sure that old tree will drop a few more limbs and Terry's Tree Service will get the call."

"

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!

"I have used Jared and his Sunset Mountain Tree Service for around 10 years. They have not only trimmed my trees and bushes he has picked up and spread mulch and landscape gravel. They have also planted a row of shrubs and miscellaneous jobs on our property. I have known him and used him long enough to call him my friend!!!!"

"The initial job contracted the Angie's List went well. The ratings I gave were for the initial job . The cost for the initial job with the mulch and the rental of an edger ended up costing around $550. I hired him for continued work that included edging, additional topsoil, and transplanting shrubs for $990.. He also was to install edging material which I purchased separately. He did not bring enough topsoil, or mulch. And the edging was installed wrong the first time because he did not read directions. He had to do over and ran out of time covered in our quote. Mulching was very thin and the weed control he put on was not what he quoted me on. With the thin mulch and weak weed control , needless to say I have weeds now . Also two of the shrubs he transplanted died."

"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."

"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!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.
