"Wonderful hardworking crew. Got out 5 trees and ground the stumps all in one day!!! Clean up was perfect! Even blew the grass with their blower back and forth so there were no trails left in the grass from dragging branches. All wood removed or put through their chipper. They raked and cleaned. Neighbors so impressed that they got a couple that came and discussed other jobs. Another neighbor asked for the wood chips and they happily delivered those down the street for her. Kind, helpful, so hard working. Definitely will use them again. Such a great company with great workers with integrity and pride in their workmanship. A blessing to us and our family. Also, 2 of the huge trees were right next to the house and once I saw how well they worked together etc I was completely at ease. They treated my home as if it were their home!! That is rare."

"Nathan and his crew were prompt, professional, and courteous. I hired them to remove a large maple tree that endangered my house. They respected my property and did an exemplary clean up job after the tree was cut down. I have nothing but admiration for the way they do business and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone."

"Steve is great to work with! He has been to my home 3 times over the last 4 years for tree removal and trimming. Excellent job at a reasonable price. Everything is cleaned up at the end of the job and typically does the little extras that mean so much. I highly recommend him!"

"Been a DIY lawn care person my entire life, but decided my time was best spent on other activities. What I like about these guys is that they took their time to diagnose a few issues I was having and worked with me on how to resolve it. Have not gone a whole season with them yet, but I am already loving the expertise, time and care they are putting into my lawn. Definitely recommend."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

If an arborist is certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the highest level of certification available is ISA Board Certified Master Arborist. According to the ISA, this credential is reserved for arborists “who have reached the pinnacle of their profession.” Check your arborist’s credentials before hiring to confirm their level of training and expertise.

Tree removal costs typically don’t include stump removal, as that technically falls into a different service. The company you hire may offer the service for an additional fee; ask them if they offer it to ensure you get the best tree stump removal costs possible.
