"I wish you had a rating of 10 as this company was a Perfect 10. Robert (owner) first met with me to discuss the project. Robert was extremely helpful in answering EVERY question and concern that I had. I felt very comfortable that he understood what I expected and all was accomplished. Then there's his employees. Awesome job - very detailed and fun! I told them all I wanted to do was water the areas and watch the grass grow and that is what I am doing. 9 trees in 3 different areas were removed and several trees were cleaned up and look great. Thank you, 1st Choice Tree & Landscaping for helping me out!!!!"

"PHENOMENAL ~ Ever wonder what a Perfect Review would look like? Here it is. I put out an "All Call" for Tree Service, overhanging Power Lines, with branches beginning to break away and fall. Hector and Baron Tree Services responded IMMEDIATELY. I'm talking within 30 minutes. And, he was at the Project Site in under 90 minutes. Oh ~ At the beginning of the weekend. Scenario ~ 2 Trees, Lg and Sm Branches breaking and falling on Power Lines ~ So Many Things with heightened risk. Estimate provided. Following due diligence on my part, Baron was top Response, On-Site Assessment, Bid (25% lower than all others; Disabled Veteran Discount). Start date 48 hrs. This is not AI, although it went this perfectly. Cordial, Professional, Punctual, Personable, Transparent... Job finished without incidents and site clean-up was meticulous and thorough. Baron (and Hector) ~ Call 1st, Respond 1st, Onsite 1st, Quote 1st, Project 1st. Folks ~ Every box you need checked when considering, or hiring,"

"Andrew and Thomas are two of the most hardworking and respectful guys I have ever met. They professionally handled taking down a very large (and tall) tree that was located close to my house, and the clean up was excellent as well! I will definitely be hiring them again in the future!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Most tree surgeons cost around $100 per hour or between $70 and $200 per hour for their services. You might get flat fees for more straightforward services, like a tree assessment, tree removal, stump grinding, and one-off treatments, but many times, treatments for tree diseases or pests will be charged based on an hourly rate or a per-visit rate. Since the cost of a tree surgeon can vary widely, it’s best to speak with an arborist near you to get an idea of what your particular issue will cost to correct.

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.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.
