"William came out to remove two tree stumps from our condominium courtyard. He arrived right on time and we went over the job with him. He quickly sized up the job and gave us a fair price. William was very efficient and thorough in doing all the work that needed to be done to clear the area. He was very professional, kind, and careful to make sure we were happy with his work, and he offered to help with tree planting in the future. We highly recommend William and will definitely call on him again when we need help of this kind."

"I cannot say enough positive things about Palmer Tree Service. Their response time was immediate when I contacted them for a quote, and Gustavo was very friendly and knowledgeable when he came out. Their quote was BY FAR the best out of three other companies, and their work was top-notch and worth every penny. We had a huge hemlock completely taken down, along with two other mature trees thinned out- none of which were easy to access with heavy equipment. The arborists were obviously masters at their job and amazing to watch, as much of it was done by hand. After the job was done, they cleaned up every last log and piece of sawdust; you couldn't tell they were ever there. I would give 10 stars if I could... and I am a very critical person!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Elivon and his team got the job well done with high quality and skillful execution, highly recommend you get the quote from them before you make a decision. S1 team responded the call right away and scheduled the quick appointment to discuss with me the tree care concern, project timelines and check the situation and any safety issue. The quote is reasonable price compared with the others. ( Very competitive !!! You can save a lot of money) They answered question quick and professionally. They did the work within three day after I contacted them, the crane arrived on time and cleaned the ground after removed several big maple trees and hauled away debris. When they found the disease/unstable/dead trees nearby they cut it without extra charge. I definitely will rehire them and recommend to my friends who need the tree service. Thank you S1 team"

"Sasha Pilyavskiy and the team at H&H Landscaping did a stellar job on our very complex, double patio and hill gardens project. They were highly professional, very accommodating, and easy to work with through out the project. They really listened to us, gave us exactly what we wanted, and even taught me about the plants and their care. Sasha's degrees in art, design, and ecological landscaping, and his extensive knowlege of plants made him the perfect designer for our challenging project. Sasha wrote detailed plans and drawings explaining exactly how they would convert our steep hill into curved edge patios which fit organically into the hill on two different levels. Highly skilled stonesmiths created a curved wall (despite a heat wave) which supported the patios and looked similar to the very old stone walls we had nearby. The H&H team also created an S-shaped stone staircase which suited the curve of the hill beautifully. The beautiful plants H&H helped us choose are thriving!"

"Owner/arborist was forthcoming in discussing the work, reviewed options, pros & cons, and provided his expertise about the trees and work in question. He came on the day, actually offered an early day (which I couldn't take advantage of but was great to be asked!), and did all the work efficiently and effectively. They cleaned up the branches, etc wonderfully! Jim was great and I'd recommend them without reservation."

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.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Although it’s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. 

Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They’ll be able to walk you through the entire process.

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.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season
