"Jed came out to help with a large tree that had been damaged during a storm. He did a fabulous job of dropping limbs without making a big mess and made sure to clean up after. He did the same thing for our neighbor. This person really knows how to drop a tree exactly where he wants it to land."

"I had an area of my deck rotting out. I had 2 other companies out that only wanted to sell a whole new deck and feed me a bunch of BS. Roots met me and showed me exactly what was bad and what he could do to fix it and make it look like it was never patched. His price was very fair. No BS, straight to the point. They worked clean. No mess, and they were very mindful of the many flowers and shrubs along the deck. Job well done."

"I interviewed a number of contractors; all seemed right for the job. I went with Arbor Tech because: I liked the front man that came out to the site for the estimate; very professional and I could tell he knew the business since I had some very tricky trees to come down, I liked the mom & pop conversation and felt this company would work with me to the end as changes took place and they did without gouging, I liked the price, I feel I got a lot more value than what I paid for and it was within my budget. I liked that they cut the logs to size, took away the wood I did not want and put the wood I did want where I wanted it. And, they cleaned up nicely, I liked their advice and they let me hang out while they worked as long as I stayed out of the way. Thanks Guys!"

"Awesome experts to work with, they exceeded my expectations! I would will recommend them to everyone for trees and stumps! And the way they were able to take down trees hanging over my fence to the neighbors was truly something to witness. Theyâ re clean up and communication was top notch! Iâ ll use them again!"

"Very well! A storm blew a large tree branch onto the roof of our garage. I had their business card and called Advance Tree Service for a free quote, and the owner, himself, was at my house in 10 minutes! He was very busy that day with all the storm damage but made sure he and his crew took care of the heavy branch that same day, so the roof would not become further damaged. The remainder of the tree was unhealthy and took a couple more visits to be completely removed. They cleaned everything up just beautifully when they were finished. I will definitely hire them again!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Not all evergreen conifers need to be pruned, but some do. Pruning pine trees is not necessary, but you can do so during June and July if you wish. On the other hand, spruce, firs, and junipers do need to be pruned from late winter to early spring.

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.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.

If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:

  • Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.

  • Support businesses that plant trees. 

  • Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.

  • Donate to a tree-planting charity.
