"Excellent work. The oak was cleanly removed. No divots left behind that a handful of dirt and a sprinkle of grass seed didn't fix. Didn't squash any other trees or crack my driveway with falling debris because he cut/dropped small pieces. Best price I could find. Only arborist to communicate well. Every single one I contacted aside from Steve was either a no-call or a no-show, some multiple times. Steve called when he said, arrived when he said, and did what he said he was going to do. He was also very flexible in doing an additional branch on late request on another tree at an affordable rate. Very highly recommended. I will be having more work done by him. Don't bother calling these other companies. You probably won't even hear back."

"We had a big oak tree that was right over our home removed. It was doing a number on our shingles. The two men who removed the tree were very professional. They always cleaned up after themselves. It was amazing to see. I’m trying to add pictures but it won’t let me. Bottom line we were extremely pleased with what they accomplished. Plus they were very respectful."

"I felt that Shane was honest about the pricing of the service. He was respectful and nice when he came out to quote me on the job. They removed and grinded the stomp. I was pleased as how they left my yard. I highly recommend them to anyone and will use them again."

"I was very protective of how much limbing had to be done. We had some sick branches up high and we were concerned about loosing the tree altogether at some point. Jesse kept assureing me that it would fill back in and it would be ok. Only time will tell on that account, at this time I am confindent he knows that it will. All and all good experince.

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.  

Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.

The cost of professional tree service, such as trimming, is $460 on average, but the price can range from $75 to $1,800. A more typical range is between $200 and $760. The final price depends on several factors, including the size and type of the tree. For example, trimming Crepe Myrtle trees costs an average of $80 to $400, while giant pine trees can range from $200 to $1,800. Other factors that influence the cost include the time of year, as services are often more expensive in the spring. Your location can also play a role; costs may be higher if you live in a remote area or if the tree is difficult to access. However, some professionals may offer a discount if you have multiple trees that need service.
