"Excellent group of guys, work was suburb, clean up was excellent. They arrived started right in and worked until they were done. We had 4 trees removed and we had them come on two different dates. They worked efficiently and safely. I would highly recommend them and would hire them again."

"Robbie is great, he did excellent work and went above and beyond to make sure everything was done perfectly in terms of timeliness, quality, and cleanup. He also had very reasonable pricing compared to two other tree services. He is courteous and conscientious, a great combination that is something every homeowner likes to see from someone they hire. He and Bob cleared 7 trees for us, they left small logs for us for firewood, cleaned up the entire yard and even the roof afterwards. They also filled in all ruts in the lawn that were unavoidable given the work performed. I really can't recommend his company enough!"

"My husband I (Judith), chose Jacob with Treewise for several reasons. He spent time with us giving us a free estimate. We looked into another company and the estimate was the same but they were going to use a bucket truck. Jacob climbed some very large trees on my property and cut off branches hanging over our roof. Its a 3-story house. His partner on the ground collected the trimmings and put them in the truck. The work was done very quietly. Jacob knows his trees! He thinned out an Ironwood tree and trimmed a white pine so that Hinoki False Cypress would get enough sun and he cut down a small oak tree. He was wonderful! A true arborist who knows his stuff. We will have him back again. A Big Thank you to Treewise and HomeAdvisor as we would not have found him without HA."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.
