"George came out this morning to give us an estimate on removal of a large tree (and smaller tree nearby) which came down in a storm and also removal of a lot of honeysuckle in our wooded lot. His price estimates on the 2 projects were very reasonable and he said that he could do the tree removal today. He also recommended that we wait until Spring for the honeysuckle removal so that it would turn green and we wouldn't run the risk of taking out too much and losing privacy. We felt that this was a great idea and appreciated his advice. George and his crew did a great job with the tree removal and we also appreciated how careful they were in transporting the logs across our lawn to avoid any damage. We will definitely have George and his crew back in the Spring to remove the honeysuckle and will be contacting him for all of our future tree work."

"The best tree removal I've ever experienced. I had a 50+ foot maple overhanging my garage and another just as tall close by. Bernie examined the second tree and suggested that it be removed, as well, because there were indications that the "heart" of the tree had rotted. Turned out he was right. Bernie's crew arrived on time. They were courteous, efficient, and they were well-equipped. Because of the location of the trees, they had to be de-limbed before they were cut. Their Track-Lift made the operation safer than climbing and cutting. Once the limbs had been cut and lowered to the ground, they cut lengths of the tree off from the top. All well controlled, well coordinated, and safe. After that, per contract, they removed the limbs. We kept the trunks for fire wood. Then they raked the debris from the driveway and used a leaf-blower to finish the job. I couldn't have asked for better service. It was a pleasure watching them work."

"Just after I agreed to use Max Effort Services to trim my tree the weather turned and rained for a long time. Jordan was in contact with me and kept me informed. My yard is a very tight space but he was able to maneuver the lift with what looked like ease. Jordan and his crew came and trimmed a large Oak tree by my house. Awesome job. Great and professional."

"Bernie Gripshover is a blessing! I recently had a tree come down during an ice storm & it was leaning on my house. He gave me a quote for tree removal and he was the best out of 3. I decided to go with him but to contact him on Monday. On Saturday night I heard the tree start to slide along my gutter. I was afraid it would fall on my heat pump. I called & explained my situation. He offered to come over that night to get it off my house. He was there in 30 minutes & the tree was down shortly thereafter. He had very little light to work with & even got on my roof to cut the branches away safely. He came back on Monday & removed the entire tree along with cleaning up the mess the tree had left. I'm very happy with his customer service & highly recommend him. He showed up when he said he would & stayed in touch to keep me in the loop. Rare qualities in contractors today. Again, I highly recommend him. You won't be disappointed. Maggie in Edgewood Ky."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

A tree can split because of high winds, a change in temperature, or from an infestation or tree disease. All of these factors can overlap, making a single cause difficult to pinpoint. While winter storms are some of the most common causes for a tree to split, it can also happen because of termites or rot.

The best pro to hire for spraying trees is a tree maintenance specialist. These pros are well-versed in selecting the right spray treatment and applying it properly to ensure there’s no collateral damage to the tree or surrounding landscape. Many tree maintenance services employ certified arborists, but for these routine visits, the extra investment usually isn’t necessary.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Tree removal costs typically don’t include stump removal, as that technically falls into a different service. The company you hire may offer the service for an additional fee; ask them if they offer it to ensure you get the best tree stump removal costs possible.
