"Alex and his crew responded to my request immediately and got the job done within a couple hours. They were already working in the neighborhood. They cut down a huge oak tree including grinding the stump and cleanups. Cost less than the rest. I absolutely recommend them."

"We needed trimming of a honey locust and a magnolia. Both trees are very important to the aesthetic of our property. Moe came out to the property to look at trees and was very attentive as we discussed what we wanted and didnâ t want. He gave us his thoughts on what would be best for the tress both now and down the road. The conversation with Moe was much more thorough and detailed than with any other companies and I appreciated that. His knowledge and confidence in his planned approach was apparent. The process of receiving and accepting the quote was quick and seamless. Moe kept in touch while we waited for availability which was less than two weeks. On the day of the work, Moe showed up on time with this assistant for the day and go to work. Even though he had a good idea of what we wanted, he checked on throughout the day. He was very conscientious to not trim more than we wanted or to not trim an amount that would be detrimental to the trees. I am pretty sure that I didnâ t hear a chainsaw all day. Everything was done by hand. Moe finished on time and the trees look great. Exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend Moe if you want a high level of care taken with your tree trimming job"

"This was a great experience. It’s so nice to deal with a real pro. Tim knows trees. He arrived right on time. The trees look beautiful, and everything was cleaned up. They also didn’t step on any of my plants. In addition, his quote was below the other company we considered. Worth every dollar!"

"Thanks to Brent, Christie and the team for an excellent job! I had a dead tree over 60 ft cut down and branches of another pine tree overhanging my roof trimmed. They were professional, quick and cleaned up all the debris for a very reasonable price, I would definitely recommend them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.
