"Hall Tree Service did an excellent job. After removing the tree, it was noticed that there was a patch of area of shingles torn off by the branches. We were referred to an Angi Approved Shingling service. The quote he gave us was astronomical compared to two other quotes outside of your list. We will not go with this Angi approved person. Their cost was $7500 to repair that area. The other quotes were a quarter of that cost at $1500 and lower. Very disappointed that someone from your list would take advantage of a homeowner. You need to reevaluate using this person on your list. If you contact us, we will reveal who this person is."

He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend grind pros for stump removal services."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000 per tree, depending on size, location, and accessibility.
