"Great. Their initial time frame was long (they were scheduling up to two months out), but I mentioned I was hoping for sooner. When, four weeks in, they had a sudden opening, due to a job in my neighborhood finishing early, they called to arrange and were there within an hour. Late notice meant I could not be home, but the arborist reassured me by speaking with me on the phone. The tree pruning was smart and sensitive. When I expressed some disappointment with underprunung on a big shrub, the arborist arranged to come back to fix it the following week. Super responsive, willing to explain recommendations."
"Ross is very knowledgable and does great work! The way he cleaned up the yard after trimming the branches was excellent. I would and will hire him again and highly recommend!"
"A&T’s tree service did an amazing job removing a big oak tree that was over hanging my house and garage! They are very respectful and easy to work with! I will definitely continue doing business with A&T’s tree service in the near future."
"Italo and his crew were great. He listened to what we wanted done, made suggestions and did an awesome job. The crew was polite, courteous and skilled in their trade. I couldnâ t be happier with my decision to hire Geo Tree Services- excellent quality and a great value! David Jass"
"Jess is the best. I had multiple trees that needed to come down & hauled away. Not only did he give me a great price, but he was able to do the work quickly! Thanks for the great work!"
"Mike and his brothers did a fantastic job trimming the trees at my home. I have wanted to get this job done for a long time and it looks so much better! They were timely, friendly and the price was fair. My neighbors liked them so much that they hired them too. I would absolutely recommend them for any tree work that you need done."
"Pete and the team from Xtreme Tree did a great job removing a dead tree on my property and trimming another that had a lot of dead branches. The team was in and out in less than an hour and left my front yard looking great! I had several companies come out to give me a bid and Xtreme Tree quoted me the best price and was available soonest to do the work."
"This crew did an AMAZING job! Three guys were here for eight hours; mowing, trimming tree branches and weed eating our few acres and along the lake shore. EXTREMELY happy customer, we would definitely hire them again and refer them to anyone! Eddie, the crew supervisor was very meticulous and helpful!! THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!"

Trees are beneficial to the environment and wildlife. If you have an old tree, but it’s healthy, it may be best to avoid cutting it down. However, if it’s showing signs of bug infestation, disease, or is potentially hazardous, then you should contact a tree removal company to cut it down.
If you are unsure whether you should have it removed or not, then speak with an arborist to determine what is best.
You should prune ornamental trees once every other year after the fruit has matured and begun to drop. You should also prune out dead branches whenever you see them. Pruning too often can stimulate more growth, especially in faster growing varieties like Bradford pears.
It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.
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.
Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material.
These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.
