"Wes removed four very large trees next to our house. He and his crew did an outstanding job of removing them. He is very reasonable, timely, and efficient. His crew worked hard to make my place look like they had not been present. I have worked with many tree companies and he is the best by far. He is a certified arborist and very knowledgeable. He provided with some very useful ideas I plan to use. Thanks Wes."

"My previous review documented the incomplete job done by M&M Tree Service, Monte Linton, owner. After Home Advisor contacted him about same, he came and did the grinding, which was left of job from 9/25/19. He ground down other stumps, for which he was not responsible, as a way of making up for untimely completion of job. Mr. Linton has a pleasant spirit and held no ill feelings for my previous review. I will hire him again, if needed."

"It went well. William Podeski and his assistant came out and were finished in about an hour. He came out the day before and quoted us an affordable price, and gave advice as to how to trim the trees without damaging them. They trimmed several branches off three of our large trees that were close to the house. The price was very fair, especially when compared to the rates of other tree service competitors in the area and they did an excellent job. As the trimming work was for an insurance company, he gave the best advice he could on what they would be looking for with trimming, and offered to come back out at no charge if the insurance company had any further complaints about the trees. We would definitely hire them again and recommend them to others looking for a quality job at an affordable price!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

Not every arborist climbs trees, but most will do so if that’s the best method for assessing or treating a tree. Arborists have a variety of tree climbing gear and safety equipment to choose from when climbing trees. Consult your local arborist about their tree-climbing plan if your service requires that type of task.

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.
