"A tree limb fell on my house after a storm, so I needed emergency service to remove it from my house. Carlos and his father were prompt, professional, and efficient. I could not ask for a better experience especially in a very stressful situation. In addition, they provided me with a fair price. I will definitely use this company again."

"I had a great experience with this company. They arrived to my home on time. They improved the overall shape of the tree. They cut back branches that were hanging over the gutters on the house and driveway. They cleaned up all the debris. The tree looks great! The service was prompt. I am very pleased with the service that they provided. The price was very reasonable! Quotes from offer providers was much higher."

"Alex and his crew are top notch and friendly. They work very hard and are experts at what they do and for a very fair price. They cut down a very large pin oak tree for me which was very close to transmission and distribution electric lines. They did an outstanding job in a dangerous area. They took down two dying dogwoods as well. They do nice clean up work after they've finished. You want trees cut down? Alexander Tree Experts is the firm to hire. You will be very pleased!"

"This job was to help us save 4 trees, not tree removal.Only negative was that they would give us a time when they would be back the next day but then were always late. They did not call or if they did call it was significantly later after the time they said they would be here. On a positive note, they were very knowledgeable and expert, did the treatments quickly and thoroughly and spent the time giving me detailed instruction of what I needed to do and not do. They are good honest and hardworking people. This was the first time I used Angi's list/Home Advisor to hire someone and I was impressed"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In nature, there are many things that can cause a tree to die, including diseases, insects, and natural disasters such as fires or droughts. Non-natural methods of killing a tree include herbicides or manual intervention, such as cutting it down. Consult a tree removal professional about your options for naturally killing a tree.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.
