"The professionals at Tree Huggers Tree Services, LLC did a great job on trimming back several limbs on a large tree in my front yard and cutting down 2 other trees from the side of my house. They worked very quickly and efficiently. I was thoroughly informed on everything that was being done according to what I needed and the estimate provided. All of my questions were answered and I’m glad I selected this company. They are very good to work with and I will definitely recommend them to my relatives, friends and neighbors that need tree work done."

"Exceptional Service - Highly Recommend! I couldn't be more pleased with Hank's work! From start to finish, he demonstrated the highest level of professionalism. He arrived promptly as scheduled, which I truly appreciated given my busy schedule. What really stood out was Hank's meticulous attention to detail. He took the time to thoroughly assess the situation, explained everything clearly, and executed the work with precision. It's rare to find someone who takes such care in their craft - nothing was overlooked, and the quality of his work exceeded my expectations. Hank's professionalism extended beyond just his technical skills. He was courteous, respectful of my home, and ensured everything was left clean and in order when the job was complete. If you're looking for reliable, high-quality service from someone who truly cares about getting it right, I highly recommend Hank. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again for future projects."

"Job: Trim and thin out a Water Oak. Excellent service at a Great price. They called within 15 mins after listing my service request. The tree was in the front yard, Chris was able to give me a quote over the phone by looking up the tree in GOOGLE Maps and had a crew that could come out in 15 mins. I request he meet me in 30 mins. with his crew. Chris made some suggestions over what I wanted to do help shape the tree. Guess what even with the extra work quote was the same. Hire Crescent City Tree on the spot, job was completed within 2 1/2 hours. The crew was very conscious on where the pieces were dropped when cutting, even rigging the ones over the house with rope before cutting, all wearing safety equipment. They even check the nest I requested to see if it was active before cutting. Before packing up to leave they verified the job was to my satisfaction and if I wanted any other branches trimmed. Yes I would hire again and recommend them."

"This job went as smoothly as I could hope for. Joyce in the office is efficient and helpful. Chris came out for the estimate and made sure the crew showed up on time as scheduled. This is the third time I have used Crescent City Tree and I highly recommend them. The crew who completed the job waited for the storm to pass so they could get the job completed in one day. They cleaned up the yard beautifully."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Deciduous shade trees (the type of trees whose leaves fall off in autumn) need to be pruned in late winter—between February and March. That’s because it’s easier to find and remove sick or dead branches when no leaves are present. And wounds close and heal faster in colder temperatures so pruning them at this time also makes them less prone to infection.

Yes, it can be good to remove dead branches from trees. Dead branches can lead to rot in other areas of the tree. They can also cause damage if they fall on a house, shed, fence, car, pool, or other structure or property. However, it’s important that dead branch removal is done safely. If the branch is high in a tree or requires a lift or ladder to access, consider calling a professional tree removal company, as they will have the experience and equipment to do the job safely.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.
