"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."

"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."

"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

Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.

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.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.
