"Called them, 2 hours later they were on the job. estimated 400 , job came in at 350.00.
4 of them showed up and worked as a team to get the trees pulled away from the house and safely cut down. It was fun watching these professionals in action. You could tell they knew what they were doing. They even knocked down a few extra problem trees. I will use them again.

"I interviewed a number of contractors; all seemed right for the job. I went with Arbor Tech because: I liked the front man that came out to the site for the estimate; very professional and I could tell he knew the business since I had some very tricky trees to come down, I liked the mom & pop conversation and felt this company would work with me to the end as changes took place and they did without gouging, I liked the price, I feel I got a lot more value than what I paid for and it was within my budget. I liked that they cut the logs to size, took away the wood I did not want and put the wood I did want where I wanted it. And, they cleaned up nicely, I liked their advice and they let me hang out while they worked as long as I stayed out of the way. Thanks Guys!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.
