"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."

"Absolutely fantastic. A few of the workers had some idle time while waiting for their truck to return so they trimmed all the dead branches on all the other trees in my large country acreage. Plus removed some bushes that I wanted gone but were not included in my bill. Even ground out the roots on those bushes. All at no extra cost! Clean up was complete. Fast , very friendly even with both dogs, sawed all the trees into fireplace size logs and neatly piled them . So above and beyond what anyone would have expected"

"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.

"Leslie Tree Trunk were just amazing. They did everything they said they would. The most impressive thing of all is that they only charged a fraction of what the othe companies Home Advisor asked me to get a bid from. They cut an 85ft tree down in 2 days and you would have never known they were here. I would recommend them to anyone needing tree removal or trimming. The guaranteed their work and are licensed, certified and insured."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It depends on the type of tree. Typically, late spring on the cusp of winter is ideal for trees about to emerge from dormancy and produce new buds. That said, late fall is ideal for certain deciduous trees prone to bleeding sap. Avoid trimming trees in early spring, when they’re prone to disease.

Planting a palm tree close to your home can provide shade while elevating the beauty of your yard. However, there are a few safety concerns to consider before doing so. You’ll want to opt for a smaller tree with a non-invasive root system. Select a species that won’t grow too tall and choose a planting location that won’t damage your home.

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.
