"I needed a mid-sized tree removed from my property and solicited five bids. I was astounded at the range of pricing received. Understandably, every company has their own unique business model. A few of the companies that bid my job were the stereotypical higher end companies who dispatched an Arborist in a company vehicle, wearing a uniform, carrying a clipboard. While I’m sure these companies do stellar work, it wasn’t in my budget to work with that kind of company on this project. I can tell you that I’m not someone who typically chooses the lowest price contractor, but this time I did, and that price was from Twins G. I sense that Twins G is a lower overhead type business, as it relates to labor, equipment, facilities, etc. They also accept only cash or checks….no credit cards. Also, I don’t know that Twins G has or uses a crane for large removal projects. They climb. As other online reviews for the company were positive, I felt comfortable giving them a try. Bottom line, Twins G did a great job for me on my tree removal project. The entire tree was removed by a single climbing cutter, using skilled rigging and roping of branches and trunk sections. The project was completed in just over an hour’s time. The overall removal went smoothly and the ground crew did a good job as well. They also cleaned up the area after their work. All in all, they did the work they promised to do for me, and did so at a competitive price. Everyone along the way was courteous and pleasant. I can’t speak to how Twins G would handle the removal of a huge 60 year old super-sized tree, but I’d definitely feel comfortable recommending them for mid-sized tree removals or general tree trimming projects. I’ll be using them again. A job well done!"

"the crew worked well as a team to remove 5 difficult tall trees near power lines, fence, and shed without any harm. the largest tree had to be carried up a hilly back yard. other tree companies did not want to do the job because of the difficulty so they quoted outrageous prices. freddy used old pro technique and the job was done under five hours. my neighbors were impressed at how quiet they were as they hand carried out the logs whereas other companies use grinders that are terribly loud."

"​I recently hired this team for a tree removal project, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. From the initial estimate to the final cleanup, the entire process was seamless. ​The pricing was incredibly reasonable—especially compared to other quotes I received—but the quality of work was top-tier. They arrived on time, handled the removal with impressive precision, and ensured the surrounding landscape remained untouched. ​What really stood out was their attention to detail during the cleanup. Once they were finished, you would hardly know a crew had been there, aside from the missing tree. It’s rare to find a service that balances such high-quality craftsmanship with fair, transparent pricing. ​I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and professional tree care. I will definitely be using them again for any future needs!"

"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."

"They were willing to take on the small job that I had for them. For some companies, my job wouldn't have even been a consideration. They are going to come back and take care of a tree that I had originally not been interested in getting rid of, but have since decided otherwise. Friendly people, those Fat Squirrel people, are."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.

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.

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.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.
