"Jesse and his wife own this company. They work in partnership as a perfectly oiled machine. Mrs. Astorino contacted us very quickly after I made a bid request, was very professional as well as friendly. She even thanked us for the opportunity to bid our job! Wow! You dont run into that appreciative attitude very often! Jesses primary assistant is Ben who did a large part of the actual labor of tree trimming, tree removal and stump grinding. Ben is also really great to work with and friendly! Jesse was on top of coordinating every aspect of our large project and completed everything at our two residential job sites in very quick order. He was even able to schedule everything very quickly after giving us his bids. All phases of the work commenced with a minimum of energy expenditure on our part. Exactly what a homeowner with a cumbersome tree problem wishes for! We were also very satisfied with the pricing that AstorinosTree Service offered us!"

"Great team. Very prompt and professional job. They even raked and removed the debris and removed an old clothesline with the skid steer to make mowing easier. I definitely would recommend."

"We needed two trees 🌳 to get trimmed and one to get cut ✂️ down. And they did a very professional job doing it. I was very impressed with the work they did and would use them again if I need to again."

"Great guys that did a great job! While removing the limb in question, also trimmed up a few little dead branches to make my tree look nicer! They took extra care to ensure my house (which the limb hung over) wasn't damaged. I would absolutely call them again if I needed more limb service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

The Christmas tree type that smells the best to you will ultimately depend on personal preference. But if that classic Christmas tree smell is important to you, choosing a type of tree known for its scent is a safe bet. Try a balsam fir for a spicy, comforting scent or a Douglas fir for a sweeter smell. You may also like Fraser firs, Scotch pines, and blue spruces.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

No. Most of the time, suckers are only a sign that the tree is experiencing stress. However, they can also be the canary in the coal mine, letting you know that something else is stressing your tree. If you have lots of suckers on your tree, calling in an arborist or a tree care expert is always a good call to determine the cause and develop a solution that de-stresses your tree.
