"The sales/estimate was great, the arborist was knowledgable and the estimate accurately included details of the job. The actual service was also great, the lead on the job met with me and reviewed the plan to ensure the pruning would be what was bit and expected. The crew was professional and cleanup was excellent. The price (with the Angies List discount) was on par with similar bids from companies with the same experience and arborists on staff. The only difficultly was with the scheduling post estimate. The estimate was given in January, but company could not commit to when the job would be scheduled (likely because of the their backlog). This is understandable, but we would have preferred to have been given a solid date at the end of their backlog; rather we were told we'll call a week before we can get you in. Given pruning oaks is a time sensitive service, this almost made us go with another company that could commit to a solid date."

"I called at 8;30 am and a rep from Arbor Barber was out within the hour. The team showed up about an hour later and completed the work. The team was quick, efficient and left my yard like nothing had ever happened. Price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Arbor Barber!!"

"Tall Oaks Tree Service did an amazing job felling my very dead oak. It was so dead that many other business were hesitant to take the job or they greatly exaggerated their estimates. TOTS came out and carefully inspected the tree and property in order to plan the best way to handle it at an incredibly affordable price. The crew was friendly, professional, and mistake-free. I will definitely consult TOTS first on future tree projects."

"Twin City Tree Authority removed an overdue, diseased Ash tree. I had been hesitant and dragging my feet to get the tree looked at, due to my lack of knowledge with trees. I was so impressed (and relieved!) with their honesty and level of arborist knowledge. I was given option of what work needed to be done, along with detailed costs for each item. They used a lift to access my backyard, through a fence and gate. They were very cautious and careful not to damage my yard, which was very important to me. I will be using Twin City Tree Authority from now on. I highly recommend this crew!"

"A very bad storm struck our city and blew down a lot of trees all over the county.  I had 3 trees down and one
teetering dangerously over our house.  My husband was out of town.  I immediately started calling tree services from the
yellow pages and let them know my dilemma.  I was having to just leave messages at each of them.  "Reach's" owner called me back quickly and said that he, personally, would come over right away to assess the situation.  He agreed with me that this large limb needed to be removed quickly before someone, or my house, was hurt.  He quickly started working on it himself while he was waiting for the rest of his crew to help.  They ended up doing some other tree trimming while they were at it.  I think they got another 5-6 jobs from people watching and wanting them to do their yards too.  Everyone that used them were extremely happy!

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

The cost of professional tree trimming averages $460, with a typical range between $200 and $760. However, prices can be as low as $75 or as high as $1,800 depending on several factors. The size and type of the tree are major cost drivers; for example, trimming Crepe Myrtle trees costs an average of $80 to $400, while trimming giant pine trees can range from $200 to $1,800. Other factors that influence the price include the time of year, as services are often more costly in the spring. The tree's accessibility and your location also play a role, as a remote or hard-to-reach tree may increase the cost. Some professionals may offer a discount if you have multiple trees to trim.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.
