"Edilson is the owner: an incredibly experienced arborist with a positive, polite personality. He provided a prompt, no-pressure free estimate which was more than reasonable (we had fielded a few estimates; his was the best). The day of work his crew arrived on time: all of them were friendly and respectful. They worked efficiently and the end product was better than I had hoped for (i.e. faster and with stellar pick-up). My experience with Edilson's Maple Tree Services was outstanding, and I would recommend them to all of my family and friends. They are commensurate professionals well-worth the chance!"

"I recently hired this tree service company to remove several overgrown shrubs and bushes from my property, and they did an excellent job from start to finish. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and cleaned everything up before leaving. They were professional, respectful, and made the whole process stress-free. I highly recommend them to anyone in needs of their services"

"Outstanding service! I am so impressed with the work done on my yard. I had multiple tree stumps located on a tricky hillside slope. Other companies passed on the job because of the difficult terrain, but William was able to grind them down with ease. Not only did he complete the tough job, but he also did a fantastic job cleaning up the debris afterward. The yard looks great. Reliable, skilled, and highly recommended—I would absolutely use him again!"

"I would highly recommend this company, they were very efficient, professional and their customer service with excellent, because the tree that had to be taken down was in the middle of my fencing yard, that they were unable to use a mechanical lift, the job had actually to climb a tree, the cleanup was performed perfectly and the top of everything else, their quote was the lowest quote i received."

Customers say: Quick response

"The only negative would be that it took a while for the owner to get back to me with an estimate of how much it would cost. It took him just a little while, and the reason was he was so busy doing other jobs. The positives were: they were on time, finished on time, the job looked good, they were clean, the area they worked in was clean when they left. It looks good."

"Andrew and his crew built a hip roof over my existing front porch. My front porch is much larger than most ( 12x 11).. The cost seem high at first, however well within range of other licenced and insured contractors. Skip any contractor who is not going to pull a permit and have their work inspected . He came highlly recommended by my roofing company, as well as 2 other homeowners who had work done by his company. All had high praises for the quality of his wokmanship.. Both homeowners have had him back for other projects. The roofing company regularly recommends him and 1 other contractor if Andrew is too backed up in contracts. Yes, it is best to book early for any GOOD contractor. I believe that what sets the best contractors apart from the rest is the quality of the workers who show up to do the work. Most owners and upfront sales people talk a great sales pitch. THEN when the actual team shows up, you soon begin to realize just what you have. ARM has an amazing group oh hard woring SKILLED employees. The inspector commented on the quality of wormanship. Natually all work passed inspection. I am also booking ARM for 2 orher future projects. If you are one of those people who believes you do the work right the first time, then this is a contractor you want in your contact list. It took me quite a long time & ALOT of trial and error to finally find a good contractor.. Save yourself the effot and cost of trial & error."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.

It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to identify wood and determine which types of trees are in your yard. 

Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!

Dead tree branches should be removed, because they can cause the tree to lose nutrients. They can also make the tree more susceptible to disease and pests. Removing dead and diseased branches can help the tree recover and increase the odds of saving a dying tree. Make sure to prune the tree correctly to avoid damaging it further.

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.
