"My neighbor came over and hired them that very evening to pull a small, dying tree from their yard. I think, after they saw the work that they did for us, they were impressed enough to come over and ask to get their job done."

"This is a well prepared crew. I had two trees cut down and one oddly configured tree cut back and partially cut down to release my house!! They worked efficiently, safely, and the clean up was great. I certainly recommend A&J for tree service and would hire again."

"Mr. Duvall was professional, did very well with the estimate and everything was smooth with no complications. I hired Mr. Duvall twice and one of jobs he returned to finish a job. NO OTHER CONTRACTORS EVEN RETURNED AFTER BEING PAID IN FULL. Mr. Duvall is the only contractor that has been paid in full, returned and finished a job. No other contractors have done this! EVERY contract that has been paid in full has never returned to finish the work; other then Mr. Duvall. Duvall tree removal done amazing work! My neighbors love my yard, my tenant's neighbors love the yard and Mr. Duvall knows how to make a property look wonderful. I look for laborers and skill treads that I can hire often. I'd very happily hire Duvall Tree Remove for future work!!!!! Highly recommend Mr. Duvall's work and services!!!!!!"

"As a worried homeowner with 5 very old 40 foot trees in between my house and my neighbors with fall debris every time the wind blew I was fortunate enough to get set up with Mr Tom Gray I found him to be a no nonsense guy ( like myself) honest he came out on a Sunday gave me a free quote was impressed with the price thinking it was gonna be higher going into this project lucky break for me he was able to get on the job next day as I watched him and his crew roll in with their state of art equipment I knew I chose the right man for the job I watched in amazement as his crew gets right down to business watching the 10 of them work together was impressive they drop all 5 trees with pin pointing accuracy everything went like clockwork from the minute they arrived till they rolled out of my driveway 4 hours later debris was loaded yard was cleaner than when they started I can’t say enough about how satisfied I was to find someone that cares about doing a good job and cares for employees and most of all his customers!! I was 110 percent satisfied I recommend him to anyone that needs tree work including my family and friends."

"We hired Home Time Construction to remove leaves from our roof. They did an excellent job blowing all of the leaves off of the roof and then cleaned up the leaves that were blown off of the roof onto the ground around the house."

"I reached out to him on a Sunday evening for a quote and within 24 hrs he was at my home and we talked about what was priority and what could wait for next spring. We scheduled the tree removal for 2 days later and when he arrived, he got the job done in less than an hour. His prices were affordable and we spoke about him coming back to remove a larger tree and several stumps. I’ll be sure to recommend him to those I know that’s looking to have trees removed"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.

Palm trees aren’t much different than your typical tree removal. Removing a palm tree is a standard procedure as long as pros have the proper tools and supplies. For DIYers, however, there are some risks associated with palm tree removal. Palm trees have spiky fronds, bark, and patches of hefty wood. So, it’s best to let an experienced tree service pro remove a palm tree.

Yes, you can hire professionals to move a tree. Arborists and tree transplanting companies specialize in this type of work and use equipment like hydraulic tree spades to safely extract and relocate trees with their root balls intact. Since tree moving is a complex process, especially for larger trees, it’s best left to experts who understand how to protect the tree’s health and ensure the safety of everyone involved.

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.
