"I NEVER write reviews, but Jim and his crew deserve a huge shout out! I had 12 large pine trees, most within 10 feet of my home. The crew did an AMAZING job removing the trees, as well as the cleanup afterward. Jim gave me a very fair and reasonable price. He and his crew were super friendly, polite and very professional. I would HIGHLY recommend this company. These guys were PHENOMENAL!!"

"Superb job removing the trees trees close to residences. Some of the trees close to buildings were taken down expertly and safely. The cleanup was thorough and efficient. Jim and his crew showed up when agreed upon and the price was very reasonable for the scope of work done. The climber they brought in to handle the larger trees was obviously experienced. Jim, Ryan, Jeff and Nate at Red Oak Forestry did an excellent job!"

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it’s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate.

Stay inside or well away until the storm passes. Don’t go outside to inspect the tree until the weather clears, especially if the tree is on a hill or isolated in a field. Lightning often strikes the same easily-accessed places multiple times, and you could be a new target. If a lightning strike causes a noticeable fire, alert emergency services. When the storm is over, take a closer look to gauge the damage done.
