"Would highly recommend Family Tree Service. Weâ  ve hired several tree service companies in the past, but the quality of this company surpasses them all. Mr. Elbert Holt & his crew took pride in their work, and wanted to make sure we were 100% satisfied before taking our check. Will never look for any other tree service if needed in the future. Donâ  t hesitate if youâ  re thinking about hiring Family Tree Service."

"I had this tree service cut down two tall trees and one was awful close to the house and they did a fantastic job. they didn't hit the house and after they got all done they cleaned up the area real good with a blower. Yes i would hire them again."
Prior to removal, the Tree was located close to the home.

Customers say: True professional

"Johnny’s Tree Service showed good communication, willingness to do the job to my satisfaction and gave me a price break. I also hired them to remove some shrub trunks from my neighbor’s front yard on my dime. They removed some 16 huge arborvitaes, ground the stumps, filled in and leveled the ground and applied grass seed and straw. 9 days after completion, the grass seed is sprouting and I’m pleased that Johnnys could do the entire job for me. I highly recommend this tree service."

"These guys were ready to work same-day after I desperately needed my Walnut tree trimmed. Everyone in Ann Arbor is so buys with trees being down that the next option was December or January. I submitted my inquiry, they responded in an hour, and finished the job same-day. AND - they cleaned up all 2,000 of the walnuts that fell. Great find and great work."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.

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.

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.
