"I was very impressed! Bryan contacted me right away, came that same day and provided me with a verbal estimate. He was very courteous, informative and knowledgeable. His crew was punctual, very friendly and communicative throughout the entire process. I am very pleased with the job they did cutting down a number of trees around my home. It was amazing watching them work. I highly recommend Pro Tree Service. I know I will hire them again. Their customer service is to be commended."
"This is the second time we used Jason and his crew. They are very professional and polite. Matt did a walk around with us, provided an estimate and started the work within an hour. They had a large knowledgeable crew that worked fast and did an excellent job in cleaning up the fallen trees and branches. They kept in touch to make sure the job met our approval. It did and then some. We will use All Season Tree Service again and highly recommend them."

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.
Common signs that a tree is rotting include dead branches, a leaning trunk, peeling or cracked bark, leaf discoloration, and the presence of fungi. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to hire an arborist near you to inspect your tree and determine if it can be saved or if it needs to come down.
Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.
For Bradford pears, damage from storms is common, and if the trunk splits, it can pose a danger to people and surrounding structures. The best thing to do in that instance is to have the tree removed. If there’s only minor damage to the branches, pruning away the damaged parts is the first order of business. You may also want to consult a professional arborist to make sure the tree is healthy.
Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves.
Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.
