Customers say: Quality work

"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

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.

Palm trees will not regrow from a stump once the tree has been cut down. This type of tree is unique because the root and stump system will slowly decay after the tree is gone, unlike other species that can regrow. That’s why it’s preferable to remove dead or decaying palm tree stumps quickly as they can become an eyesore and don’t offer future growing potential.

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.
