"I contacted a couple of companies for quotes to remove two large pines from our backyard. Jake called back that day, and came out that evening. J&M tree service was the only company we contacted that actually came out to our property to look at what we wanted done - two companies just sent e-mail quotes without even coming out to look. Very happy customer! Highly recommend for tree removal! Cutting trees is step one, but the clean up is everything.... J&M Tress Service is not only professional, but exceptional at the clean up. Thanks again. You were Quick, diligent, and efficient on the job! Awesome local tree company if your looking for tree work"

"Hired to remove a dead ash and trim a few other trees up. The crew showed up on time and had the job done faster than planned. They cleaned up all the debris and left my yard looking great. Highly recommend and priced very reasonable. Thank you!"

Arborists 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.

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.

It depends on where you live—but in most areas, leaves begin falling in September and continue falling until January or February. Warmer regions, such as Southern states, may see leaves fall a bit later in the calendar year. It also depends on the type of trees in your yard and their maturity. 

The lifespan of a bird's nest depends on the species. The building process can take from two days to three weeks. Once built, the nesting period for baby birds can last from two to ten weeks before they leave the nest. While most young birds are ready in two to six weeks, some predatory species may need up to two and a half months. Some species nest four to five times per year, so a nest could remain in use for several months. For specific information about a particular nest's longevity, it is best to consult a wildlife professional.

DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.
