"Service was all you could ask for! We were out of town when they actually did the work and we could see no signs of any debris left, tire tracks in the yard or any evidence that they had done the work except that all the tree work had been taken care of. Amazing! Thomas and Gloria were great to work with! Their service was prompt, the tree work was fantastic and the price was fair! We've had other tree service companies work for us and they were not even close in any respects. Precision Tree Service is the best company we have used, by far!"

"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.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it’s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate.

Not all evergreen conifers need to be pruned, but some do. Pruning pine trees is not necessary, but you can do so during June and July if you wish. On the other hand, spruce, firs, and junipers do need to be pruned from late winter to early spring.
