"Very polite. Answers texts and calls within minutes. Extremely well priced compared to others. Cleans up afterwards. Would never even know they were here. Will definitely be calling again for future tree services."
"“Early bird gets the worm” applies to this tree service. He called from out front of our home and gave a very reasonable estimate! The work was done and he was on his way in no time flat! We’d recommend him to anyone."
"We were delighted with the work done by Kelly Brothers. Within three days of our initial contact with his company, Noah had come to our place, and walked our property with us to answer our questions, and make recommendations based on what we wanted. We had an estimate three days later, and and the amount was about half of what he had expected. The work was completed exactly as we had requested. Best of all, it was completed in less than three weeks from our first call to Kelly Brothers. We will certainly use this business for any future projects. We recommend these young men highly!"
"Dan is the consummate professional. He performs his tree work with a cautious expertise while taking care of the needs and concerns of his customers with graciousness and patience. You will be calling Dan again and again."
"We had a rather large pine tree lake front obstructing our view We did not want to remove it but just wanted it professionally trimmed back. Casey did an excellent job. Now we have great, clear views of the waterfront. He showed up on time, was very professional and cleaned up the entire area."
"Taconic Tree was very quick to come out and aid us on our dead branches hanging over our business. They were extremely fast, affordable/fair pricing, the clean-up was so precise that you could not even tell that they were there! We are looking forward to future business with Taconic Tree."
"Mr. Felix and his crew were incredible. They took down 5 trees effortlessly and then my neighbor came out while they were working and they even did a little trim for the trees on her roof! Clean up was perfect, crew is respectful and hardworking. I canâ t say enough good things about Northern Oak"
"I had hired Southern Berkshire Tree to remove 6 white pines out of my backyard without easy access to the yard and I could not imagine there being a better tree service in the county. I had hired another company before sbts to remove one tree, and they destroyed my yard and had to get 12 yards of dirt to repair it. But with Scott and his crew it was low impact to my yard with no damage at all. Great communication before, during and after the job was done. Cleanup was superb and beyond what one would expect. Not to mention the price was comparable to other quotes but may not get the quality from others. Highly recommend them!"
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.
In the short term, you’ll have a lot of fallen trees to deal with. Tree removal services costs typically start at $200 per tree and increase based on species and size. Then, you’ll have to deal with the loss of trees: That means a loss of shade and a greater risk of rain runoff and erosion. Also, you’ll miss out on the health and aesthetic benefits of having trees on your property, which could even affect the resale value of your home.
That being said, cutting down a tree it’s not always a bad idea. Trees growing too close to rooftops can present fire hazards or debris problems. You may need to remove diseased or dying trees to prevent future issues.
Peach trees grow to be about 25 feet, so keep this in mind for pruning as well. If you plan to DIY, you’ll need to be comfortable working on a ladder. Without pruning, peach tree branches can sprawl nearly as wide as the tree grows tall, so make sure to plan pruning sessions at least once per year in the spring for controlled growth. And if you’re working on a ladder, be sure to follow all safety precautions, especially if you’ll be dealing with falling branches.
Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.
If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.
