"Had a 100-foot water oak removed and couldn’t be happier with how everything went. The tree was in a tight spot between my home and a shed, but the crew handled it with skill and precision. They showed up right on time, did exactly what they said they would, and kept me informed throughout the whole process. Communication was clear and consistent, which made a big job feel easy. They worked efficiently, safely, and left the area clean when they were done. It’s not often you find a company that delivers this level of professionalism start to finish. Highly recommend them if you need tree work done."

"The crew was very courteous and pruned according to my instructions--did not over prune. They did a nice job of cleaning up and took care not to damage plants and shrubs in the process. The owner is a certified Arborist and couldn't have been nicer. I would absolutely call on him again.

"I received the Angie's List Big Deal email for Oasis Tree Care on Saturday and I called Thomas on Monday and set up an appointment for Wednesday. He arrived Wednesday as scheduled and we discussed the many landscaping projects I have. We agreed on a price to remove four trees on Friday with the possibility of doing other work as time permitted. Oasis arrived promptly on Friday morning with a full crew ready to work. They quickly cut down the four trees that were in the alleyway and then pruned and trimmed other bushes, shrubs and vines around the house and removed the clippings.
The Oasis crew is very professional, knowledgeable and hard working. They did a fantastic job and left the house looking great. I plan on using them again for additional work in my yard.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Pruning can impact cold hardiness—but it’s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don’t want to prune trees when there’s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it’s pruned.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000 per tree, depending on size, location, and accessibility.

Palm trees aren’t much different than your typical tree removal. Removing a palm tree is a standard procedure as long as pros have the proper tools and supplies. For DIYers, however, there are some risks associated with palm tree removal. Palm trees have spiky fronds, bark, and patches of hefty wood. So, it’s best to let an experienced tree service pro remove a palm tree.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
