"It went great! I was able to communicate everything by phone and text message. I called and my call was returned the same day. I was able to text pictures of the work I needed done. Chris came by to look at it while I was away. He sent me a quote and the work was performed a couple days later. I will definitely use them for any tree work I need in the future."

"I called Brand regarding the tree and he was out the next day to quote it.  He said he was very busy and asked if he could do it in approx. 2 weeks,  I agreed.   He called the day before to let me know they would be out in the morning.  They were there at 8am.
They began laying sheets of plywood on my lawn where there equipment would be to protect the grass.  They used their bucket truck to begin cutting the tree down,  3 guys cut it down in approx 3 hours,  their chipper cut up all of the branches.  They made two trips to haul away all of the chips and wood.  They also agreed to cut down 2 pine trees that I had that died.   By the end of the day,  the stump was ground down even with the lawn,  everything was cleaned up.  What more could you ask for?   Will use these guys again if I have the need.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The recovery time for pruning depends on how much you prune, the species of tree, and how well you care for it afterward. All trees grow new wood and often sprout additional branches after pruning. Ideally, trees should recover from normal pruning after one or two years. Heavy pruning or slow-growing trees may take several years to fully recover.

A tree branch should start to form roots in about three months. It can take about a year for a tree branch to develop roots strong enough to go in the ground. For best results, start several branches because, no matter how closely you follow instructions, they won’t all form roots. Compost any that aren’t thriving.

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.

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
