"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."

"SMK Tree Service was quick to response and great to work with. Shane was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He was very professional, did a great job of explaining what he was going to do and broke down what the cost was going to be and why. He answered all questions that I had and was quick to come and do my work. He was very flexible to work with and very respectful about letting me k ow when he was coming to do the work. After the work was complete you could hardly tell that he had been here. They did a fabulous job of cleaning up after themselves."

"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 questions, answered by experts

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years.
