"Paige Freeman contacted me within 3 hours of purchasing the "Big Deal"  on October 31.  Came to my house,  told me what was needed and started the job  the next morning.    He was prompt and courteous  as was his staff.   He cleaned up the refuse from the tree trimming...frankly my yard looked better after he left than it had before.    He did everything that needed to be done.  I am very pleased with his service  and I will hire him again.

"Scott and David came out the same day I called to provide an estimate.  I received 2 other estimates from other people both of which came in higher than theirs.  
Once I called them back to go ahead with the job they were able to fit me in their schedule within the next couple of days.  
The job took about 2 days to take out a total of 6 large pines trees that were within a few feet of my house and my neighbor's house, all of which had to be climbed to be removed.  The job was completed quickly, professionally, at estimate, and with no damage to any property.
I highly recommend J and S Tree Service and will definitely use them in the future when the need arrises.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.

Yes, you should trim the lower branches of your maple tree for safety. Trimming maple trees as they grow helps lift the crown and canopy and trains it to grow straight up. A good rule of thumb is to prune enough branches to leave 6 feet of clearance under the tree.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.
