"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 FAQs, answered by experts

You should not trim an oak tree in the summer. Oak trees are especially susceptible to disease, and open tree wounds are an invitation for beetles that carry tree-killing fungus. If there’s no risk that the oak tree will do damage to your property or hurt someone, it’s best to save the trimming for fall or winter. If you can, seal the wound with latex to prevent fungus from getting inside.

Some trees, such as silver maples, birches, sycamores, and scotch pines, shed their bark naturally. If your tree is not one that does this, it might have fallen prey to pests, fungi, or diseases. It could also simply be suffering from an extreme weather change, such as a snowstorm or heat wave. If you’re still stumped, consulting with a pro can help you diagnose your tree’s specific problem.

Removing tree stumps is a dangerous and complex job that requires a high level of expertise. Many landscapers specialize in general lawn care and maintenance. But, some may have the proper licensing and qualifications needed to safely remove tree stumps. In most cases, though, landscapers will refer you to a local tree removal or stump grinding company.

The recovery time for pruning depends on how much you prune, the species of tree, and how well you care for it afterward. All trees grow new wood and often sprout additional branches after pruning. Ideally, trees should recover from normal pruning after one or two years. Heavy pruning or slow-growing trees may take several years to fully recover.

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.
