"Mr Litton and his crew were excellent. Personable and attention to detail in every aspect of the work being performed. The young crew were extremely polite. They took time to answer questions. You meet Thomas Litton for 10 seconds you feel like you have known him for 10 years. Open line of communication from Mrs Litton on the day of the job. We were called twice to let us know that the crew was running behind due to an earlier job. The cost of the trimming of the Magnolia and the Holly tree was $400. We were extremely satisfied with the work of Precision Tree Service. I would highly recommend them for any tree services required. Having the owner and arborist on site will assure you of the best."

"Excellent...called me back the same day and made an appointment for someone to come out and give an estimate. That person showed up on time and gave me an estimate that same afternoon via email. I accepted the offer and was emailed a time they could grind my stump which I accepted. The person they sent was on time and did a great job. These guys are terrific and very professional. I will definitely use this tree service again!!!!!"

"Mr. Kelley was extremely nice and knowledgeable. The problem with project is we has asked to be filled in with dirt, I thought it would be grow-able dirt since its in a planter bed and he put in clay. Now I can't get anything to grow. We had to buy 10 bags of soil and rent a tiller and grass seed and nothing is growing."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Steer clear of the area and contact your utility company immediately. It will have a website portal and/or a phone number to report downed trees and electrical issues. If the tree appears to be on public land, you may want to call your local government and report the issue there, too.

Yes, many services include stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and improve aesthetics.

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.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.

The average tree pruning should take one hour with the right equipment. Light pruning of a small tree may only take around 15 to 20 minutes. Pruning multiple large trees in your yard will probably take several hours, including cleanup. However, tree pruning pros can do this job much faster, so you can rely on pros if you’re short on time.
