"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!!!!"

"AAA Tree Pros did an excellent job removing 2 diseased ash trees from our property. They offered a fair price, scheduled the work very quickly, and handled everything safely and professionally. The crew removed the trees, hauled away all the wood, and ground the stumps thoroughly. The cleanup was great as well. Very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them."

"Can't not say enough good things about this company. Quality work, expeditious service at a very competitive price. Their crew also do a fantastic cleanup job as there was not a branch, twig or leave left on my lawn. If you are looking for tree service save yourself a lot of time and hire Mike."

"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,"

"There were two options; trim trees and have the trimmings removed or have the trees trimmed and left for a much lower fee. We opted for the second option and have been cleaning up our yard for a month but we were also happy to keep the firewood. Our original quote was inaccurate as they found we needed more trimming than originally ally estimated. As a result we agreed to a higher cost as the work was being finished. They did an excellent job and it was amazing to watch as they trimmed trees away from our property buildings with extreme care and accuracy. They truly did a great job in caring for all of our property and in the end the extra cost was worth it. Highly recommended!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.

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.
