"Everything was great from start to finish. Very reasonably priced. The huge pine we had removed was over 100 feet tall. They had all the necessary equipment to skillfully cut down the tree. It was amazing to watch. We highly recommend Hooper's Tree Service. George E."

"A number of high and large branches/limbs needed to be removed from 3 trees. Team sent by New England Tree Masters was professional and left the work site in perfect condition. One tree was not accessible using bucket truck. Amazed at skill and concentration of person who climbs into tree to access and saws off the limb/branches. Also removed a number of dead branches which we appreciate. No damage to surrounding bushes, etc. as larger branches/sections removed and/or lowered to the ground."

"Individual came by, which is very unusual as other landscapers who we would of have considered never called back! Project as we discussed was well out of our price range as compared with other companies previously used. Also, I inquired about types of plants and bushes that I was considering adding to our islands, but he appeared not to have much knowledge as to plant /bush options. Even after we reduced the plans of the project the price was still too high."

"Steve showed up on time and gave us an estimate. When we were finally able to coordinate the work (over 1 month later!), he responded promptly and was faithful to the estimate. The work was done on-time, was respectful to the house, and everything was thoroughly cleaned up afterwards. He is pleasant to work with, and the price was fair. He'll be the first person I call for any further demo work."

"Twins Tree Service did an amazing job. Trimmed and cleaned my trees to my specifications. Left my yard clean. Juan came to my home and evaluated the project I needed done. He was very reasonable with his estimate for 2 trees. He and his crew arrived when they were supposed to and considerate of my time. I would utilize the company again for future projects and highly rerecommend them to others looking for tree service. Small company looking to expand their customer base."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Your local government is usually in charge of pruning trees on public property, and the power company is responsible for trees near power lines (even if they’re on your property). Whether or not they top these trees depends on their approach to pruning. You won’t be able to do much to control this, but you can contact them to find out more about their pruning process.

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

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.
