"Brian (owner of tree service) came exactly on time and took a look and could do it right then. He listened and cleared the tree limbs and ground it in his grinder and even swept the ground afterwards. What a guy. He was patient despite the heat and the dust and his hauling the heavy branches to his grinder. I'm grateful to have found him again, as he had done excellent work for me before. I had forgotten to look at my previous business cards i had saved. Elsa E."

"Bart Flanaganâ s tree service was an excellent company to work with. This company gets things done quickly and efficiently at a good value. I had a gentleman come out the day I called and he gave me a reasonable quote for my job then and there. Two weeks later there they were right at 8:30 ready to go. Five men worked the entire time they were at my house taking down a gigantic pine and trimming up a number of other trees. They were amazing at taking down this huge tree safely and quickly. They cleaned up nicely and were very pleasant to speak with throughout the day. If I had any more trees to take down or prune Iâ d hire them in a second. Excellent work. Thank you Bart."

"They were skillful and very professional, and certainly know their business. The crew was very careful about our buildings and power lines and solved some extremely worrisome tree problems for us. Their cost was a little high, but I guess that's what you have to pay for good technology and safe, skillful, energetic work!"
Some big rounds
Handy little tree cart
We didn't put it there, but we got it off

"The tree we had taken down was very big, and close to our home, and another building. Chris did a great job taking down the tree. We would definitely recommend this company. Would not hesitate to reach out again if we need to have another tree taken down. Thank you "Angie's" for the recommendation!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.

When a palm tree no longer produces new fronds and old fronds start turning yellow-brown, that’s a sign the tree is dying. However, transplanted palm trees can show these signs for the first several months as they re-establish themselves. It’s best to keep watering and not give up on the palm tree until a couple of seasons have passed and you’re sure it’s not coming back to life.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Sudden oak death and oak wilt are different diseases. Oak wilt first shows up in tree leaves while sudden oak death affects the branches and trunk. However, as symptoms in both can overlap, it’s best to consult a professional arborist tree expert for a proper diagnosis and development of a treatment plan.
