"Eric did a great job with the tree removal at my home… I have actually had him come back a few times for multiple jobs. He was very professional and provided top quality service. Quick to come by and quote the job, and fit me in his schedule pretty quickly! I would recommend him to anyone needing quality tree service!"

"I was called by this company only minutes after putting the job on Angie's list. Shawn offered to come out the same day to give an estimate on a tree we needed removed. He was there within the short time frame he promised. Once they started the tree removal, I was highly impressed with the work ethic. Neither of them stopped until the job was done. It took two days to complete because it was a large tree, only two men, and the weather was less than optimal, but they were both there on time and ready to work. To me they appeared superhuman from the amount of hard, heavy, laborious work they were able to complete so quickly and safely. Will recommend them to everyone I come across that needs any tree work and will definitely call them for myself if any work needs done in the future."

"Ernie quoted our job along with 3 others. He was the first to contact us and quickly came up with a number. We were out of town at the time but scheduled anyways because all my questions were answered in a professional manner. They arrived on time and proceeded to remove 15 trees and grind the stumps. They were very careful and respectful of our neighbors property. The cleanup was amazing and we will recommend these guys to anyone who needs a reliable and caring tree service.. ...Thanks Ernie"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). 

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.

Most trees can be successfully transplanted while they are young, but pines, walnuts, and some oak tree varieties are more difficult to move because their root systems grow deeper than most other trees. Also, trees adapted to sandy soil with wide root systems like beeches, willows, and aspens are harder to dig out because their roots spread much farther out from the trunk. In these cases, unless the trees are very young and small, it’s a good idea to consult a tree planting professional.
