"Exceptional service! Administration, Supervisor/Estimator and Arborists are all extremely knowledgeable and responsive. Each of the 5-man onsite crew (3 climbers, 2 ground) is skilled and professional but together they formed a spectacular team. They coordinated cutting/removing trees that were entwined with electrical and communications cables in a confined space with breathtaking efficiency. The work was started on-time, property was protected and effective clean-up was integrated into the process. Unfortunately, these trees needed to be removed due to safety concerns but would also call them for other services. I believe that this experienced company excels in everything they do and I highly recommend Arbor Care!"

"Excellent work. The crew arrived on time and first took down a dead tree near our driveway and house. One worker climbed the tree and carefully took off branches and then dropped the tree into the woods. Then they went to work on another tree that had branches reaching out toward our house. All taken down safely and efficiently and they cleaned up when they were done. I'd definitely hire them again."

"I was very impressed with the work that Red Oaks did for me. They removed a dead oak tree and cut down some huge hanging limbs near my house. They were very professional and friendly. I asked them about whether other trees on my property should be cut down, and they gave me an honest assessment of the health of the remain trees. I highly recommend them for their honesty, professionalism and value."

"Allegheny Hill did an outstanding job in removing my stumps. The job was done right and the pricing was very affordable and very fair to me. But what was of greatest value to me was the person himself. It was a pleasure working with Keith because of his solid integrity, professionalism and his concern and caring for others. This took the worry out of the job for me. Another unexpected benefit to me was that Keith introduced me to an associate (Mike of Mills Arborcare) who I also hired to do my much needed yard work and tree pruning. Mike, an arborist and talented tree artisan, and also a man of great integrity, professionalism and caring for others, did an outstanding job on my two acres of land; and his pricing was very affordable and very fair to me. So having this “team” (Keith and Mike) working together to improve my yard and the health of my trees was a joy. I am looking forward to hiring “the team” next year to do some more annual pruning and maintenance."

"I couldn't ask for better service! A Coreas Tree Services team member contacted me within minutes of my project submission on Angi to schedule a time to stop by. The owner was on time the next morning, quoted a very reasonable price, and scheduled his crew to come out later the same day. True professionals from beginning to the end. We definitely recommend Coreas Tree Services to anyone that needs a tree removed or cut back."

"They set an appointment time and arrived on time.Estimator ,Jose, arrived and gave me a written ,formal estimate-unlike the previous tree service companies who gave me a verbal estimate .JMC gave me a removal date two from the date of the estimate.Two to three hours later,Jose calls me and says they can do the tree removal later that same day.They came at the end of the the work day,approx 4pm and proceed to remove the tree within an hour. They also transferred a bird nest to an adjacent tree. They cleaned up the debris before leaving. I would highly recommend JMC Tree Service"

"I contracted White Oak Tree Experts to remove some trees, grind stomps, and perform light pruning at my single family home. Right from the start, from the free estimate where Fernando Reyes walked my property line with me while listening to my concerns and goals while offering helpful suggestions, to the day he brought his crew and equipment, I knew I was in good hands. I highly recommend Fernando and White Oak Tree Experts since they are professional, hard working, very efficient, affordable, and committed to their customers needs. They exceeded my expectations!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

Professionals ensure safety, prevent property damage, and handle debris efficiently.

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.
