"We found John and his crew of 2 to be professional. Remember when hiring a tree service for an estimate, to state all you want done. We had 3 trees removed. One tree died from the heat and was the reason we needed a tree service. We live on a little less than an acre corner lot in a subdivision. Another tree on our lot that we had removed was on our property line that had some large branches that hung over our neighbor's house. It needed to go. There was no damage or mess on neighbor's property during and after the tree removal. The third tree that was removed was also in our back yard and was leaning towards our house. John told us after he cut it down that it had ants in it 40 feet up and our decision to have it removed was a good one. They started on Monday, Finished on Tuesday and ground up the stumps on Thursday. The only thing that was of a concern was the heat from the lift motor did do some damage to the grass it was stationary over, and there was some kind of oil leak marks as well, but overall that's to be expected I'm sure. The log removal equipment did do some grass trauma removing large logs from property but this too is to be expected.. Overall experience was good. John's staff was definitely professional and courteous and we were satisfied. John's Action Tree Removal business is a + and we will keep them in mind if we need tree work in the future."

"I had some timber people come to my place and leave a big mess on my property. Mr. Flesher came up here, told me what he can do. and followed through impeccably. He fenced my driveway, removed stumps, smoothed out my property from where the timber people tore it up, and leveled out the land. He is very reliable, polite, and dependable. Goes above and beyond. Gives recommendations, instead of just charging for services that haven't been discussed."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

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.

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.

Yes, burning wood with Dutch elm disease is a safer way to dispose of it than, say, tossing it in with the rest of your yard waste, which could potentially allow it to spread to healthy trees. But it’s always a good idea to check with your local government to make sure you’re complying with any ordinances about removing diseased trees as well as burning brush piles.
