"He was very adequate on getting me a fair price, very well mannered, and was on time or early for everything. He demolished 2 sheds for me and did a very good job. And the cleanup after the demolition was very professional it’s like the sheds were never there! Highly recommend to anybody!"

"5 Stars – Outstanding Service! I recently hired Apex Tree Service to remove a massive oak tree from my backyard, and I couldn't be more impressed with their work. From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and highly skilled. They arrived on time, had all the right equipment, and handled the job with precision and care. The tree was in a tricky location, close to my house and fence, but they took it down safely without any damage to the surrounding area. They also did a fantastic job cleaning up—my yard looked better after they left than before they arrived! If you're looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and courteous tree service, I highly recommend Apex. They exceeded my expectations in every way."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Unless it’s dead or dangerous, think twice about cutting down a tree in your yard. They’re good for health, well-being, wildlife, and the environment. Plus, local authorities often have regulations prohibiting the removal of trees, especially protected species or individual trees with historical value.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.

While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of interfering with overhead power lines. It’s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it’s essential to ensure your tree isn’t in danger of growing too close to them.

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.
