"Called in the morning to schedule removal of two 30 foot arborvites. They said it could be done that day. By 5:00 pm the trees were gone, the area was cleaned up and the trees were hauled away in a very timely manner. Would highly recommend for tree / landscaping work."

"I can't say enough about my experience with Woodchoppers Tree Service. From the start to the finish, nothing but exceptional. Jeremy was the first contact I received and was here within 30 minutes to review our requirements. We discussed what was needed with his experieced input. He gave me a written quote before leaving. I called him back to schedule the work which would be about 2 weeks later. Within a few days Jeremy contacted me to say he could come sooner if it worked for me. We agreed on a date, he sent a message to confirm. On the scheduled date he sent me a message advising of his arrival time. Upon arrival he and his crew immediately went to work trimming a maple tree, a large magnolia tree and removing a crabapple tree then grinding the tree stump leaving nothing on the ground to be picked up. Done within an hour and a half. Great job and very fair price. Will call him again for all future tree work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task. 

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.

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.
