"Bob was a pleasure to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable above the various trees in question and offered several options for us to consider. There was no pressure as to which option to choose. The crew was all work and completed most of the work Saturday and completed it Monday. Aside from the missing trees, there was little to indicate they were there as the crew did a thorough job of cleaning up after themselves.

"We used Barton twice this year and both we unexpected and timely. Both times the service was outstanding. The stump removal was extremely difficult because the tree had grown through a chain linked fence. The job was fantastic. .. and just great guys."

"Great! Matt met me to see the trees I wanted to have removed, and I received an estimate shortly afterwards. The team took them down fast and asked if I was satisfied with the work before leaving. Very happy with the service"

"We had a fantastic experience with Carlos and his guys! They took down a 40 foot tree that was in between 4 houses with incredible precision. It was no small feat! Upon removing the tree, it was realized that it had started to grow around a neighbor's old fence post. Initially we thought there would be no chance of grinding the stump, but somehow they managed. It was back breaking work, but they didn't stop until it was completed. Want to hire hard workers for a tree job? These are definitely the guys to hire! Thank you Carlos! We will be referring everyone we know in need of tree services to you!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. 

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.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.
