"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 services from start to finish! After my initial Angie's List request for a quote, I received a call saying Greg Dionne would be here to discuss the services. Greg was very professional and knowledgeable and I received the quote within a day or two, and found it very well priced. Jacque, the office manager, also provided excellent communications on how to engage the their services and walked me through the entire process. She provided the date to expect the tree service crew (all dependent on weather, of course) and it went seamless! Greg Dionne stopped by the morning the tree crew was expected to give an approximate time frame and mark the trees to be removed. The entire tree crew were great as well, did the tree cutting/removal very fast and professionally. They even took the time to clean up the entire area, I was impressed! Thank you to the entire Howntown Tree crew and staff, they were all very professional and I highly recommended their services!"

"We hired them in the summer and in the winter because of the dead tree they missed the first time. They did a good job of getting the dead trees and limbs out, but they trampled multiple small plants that we had just planted and put their equipment on top of our delicate shrubs, even though we asked them not to. They moved our stones and put them on top of our newly planted herbs, destroying part of the herbs. They did replace one plant after I complained."

"When Arborist Mr. Paul Fox confirmed that our beloved apple tree's days were numbered we knew it was time to bring it down. Mr. Fox really knows his trees and answered all my questions in detail. We also had some pines that needed trimming. The price was very fair. The crew did a great job, worked quickly, and were very nice. They left us a good bit of firewood and even stacked it in kind of a semi Stonehenge layout that we loved. I highly recommend Ballard Enterprises for any and all tree service!!"

"I had a dead branch high up in an oak tree that had been there for a number of years. Walter quoted a really great price and removed the branch and cut back several other dead branches. These folks are really great to work with and did a fantastic cleanup when they were done. Walter is an arborist and takes the time to explain the why and wherefore of pruning a tree."

"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."

"We had a very good experience with the New Creation Tree Service. Edwin Contreras owner of the Service and his crew did a good job in cutting the dead tree plus the pruning of another tree in our yard. In addition, Mr. Contreras was professional, knowledgeable, easy to communicate with and help with other issues regarding yard work. We greatly appreciate his practical and honest recommendations about pruning more trees in our yard. His reasonable charge, good tree service, knowledge willingness to help and over-all great customer service are ingredients for us to request for help in the future. Thank you very much. G. Sundaresan"

"I would highly recommend this awesome company to anyone that needs tree service. They were very prompt in calling me back after my initial phone call. That was not the case for 5 other companies. They performed the job in a very prompt and professional manner. Clean up was impeccable. I would give them 10 Stars if possible. Thank you Jose !"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It's easy to misidentify trees that appear to be maple trees due to similarities in leaf shapes. Sweetgum, sycamore, and yellow poplar all have leaf shapes and appearances similar to maples. The fact that around a dozen maple tree varieties exist, only about half of which are considered common, makes misidentification an often typical occurrence.  

Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning how to get rid of regrowing tree roots is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

Yes, burning wood with Dutch elm disease is a safer way to dispose of it than, say, tossing it in with the rest of your yard waste, which could potentially allow it to spread to healthy trees. But it’s always a good idea to check with your local government to make sure you’re complying with any ordinances about removing diseased trees as well as burning brush piles.

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.
