"I had a huge tree fall in my front yard, and Belle Boy Snow Plowing Service came through for me! They gave me an amazing price—literally almost half of what other companies were charging—and still did an incredible job. They cleaned everything up so well, no stubs or mess left behind, and got it done quickly. On top of that, they were very professional and really knew what they were doing. I would definitely recommend them and will be using them again if I ever need to!"

"The Thurston Logging crew is top-notch and a company I would gladly hire back if the need should ever present itself to me again. I requested a quote for my project in late November and the lumberjack of Thurstons came out the very same afternoon. Zack inspected the trees in question, examined the lay of the land, and the access points. Zack explained our options and answered any concerns we may have had. We were promised a quote within 48 hours, which we received, and set a date and time for our service. On the day of service, the crew showed up on time and got right to work, clearing fallen branches as they worked. This was no easy project as there was no way to get any Hi-Lo or powered lifts into the yard due to house to house distance restrictions. The major work was on a monstrous white pine in very close proximity to both my house and the neighbors, and it required lumberjack skills to piecemeal this bruiser to the ground. The job was completed without any damage to property (lawn dents and such) and in remarkably short order. Once the crew was done the yard was totally restored to normal, the only thing that remained was a little sawdust and the memory of a once towering pine tree. If you have a tough tree job, give Thurston Logging a call, you would not be disappointed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, you should trim the lower branches of your maple tree for safety. Trimming maple trees as they grow helps lift the crown and canopy and trains it to grow straight up. A good rule of thumb is to prune enough branches to leave 6 feet of clearance under the tree.

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

Deciduous shade trees (the type of trees whose leaves fall off in autumn) need to be pruned in late winter—between February and March. That’s because it’s easier to find and remove sick or dead branches when no leaves are present. And wounds close and heal faster in colder temperatures so pruning them at this time also makes them less prone to infection.

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.
