"Lightning struck our large pecan tree in the back yard. We called Oasis Tree Care and they were very responsive. Thomas came out the following day, assessed the situation, gave us a fair price and scheduled the work for early the next week. He realized that our tree was badly damaged and could pose a hazard, so he re-arranged his schedule to give us priority. In the meantime, we decided that another of our large trees really needed to be removed, as well, so we called him back and he gave us a fair price for removal of the second tree, as well. He came out when he said he would, emailed us pictures of the progress while we were at work, called several times to communicate what was going on, and followed up with us that evening to make sure the work was satisfactory. The work included tree removal, grinding the stump, hauling away all debris, and cleaning up the area. We were very pleased with the work. "
"Overall, it went very well but there was nothing that stood out about them. They were fine. We would recommend them to our friends and family members. They came promptly and came when they said that they were going to come. Their services went well but the price was a little too high."
"I am an 81 year old widow and the Stoutes were professional and went above and beyond what I expected. The tree was in a really bad place and Mr Stoute and his son really earned their money today.They did a great job and I am very pleased with their services and will tell family and friends if they need tree work to call Cajun Tree Cutters."
We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed.
Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.
Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years.
Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.
Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.
Trimming a tree can take anywhere from just two hours to a full day, depending on the age of the tree, the number of trees, and the species. Young trees are generally easier to trim, as their branches are often thinner in diameter and easier to reach compared to mature trees. They also tend to be healthier. If you haven’t trimmed your trees before or it’s been a while, the process could take even longer.
