"I cannot recommend Arbor Barber enough!! When the City told us we needed to remove 3 ash trees within a month we stressed about the cost. Arbor Barber pricing was well below other estimates. They were able to get us in well before the deadline. The crew worked fast and efficiently, and could not have been more pleasant. They even trimmed some additional trees when they were out here. We are so happy with the work and the price. We will definitely use again."

"I had a large 100 year old Oak tree that was dead and in danger of falling on the house, fence, electric wire etc. I was able to get on the schedule quickly they arrived on time and tree was gone so fast, also very professional. I couldn't be happier with the service and all at a fair price. I would highly recommend and will be calling them this Fall for additional projects!"

"Rivetts Tree Service went above and beyond what I had imagined! I canâ t recommend them enough - and they will be our go-to tree service company from here on out! First off, I had not planned well for their arrival.. but before I could even get my shoes on, the crew were moving all our â lawn ornamentsâ (aka garbage cans, grills, lawn chairs, toys, and even heavy objects I wasnâ t able to move myself!) without complaint! Matter of fact, they were so easy to talk to - we were laughing together by the time it was cleared! When we hired Rivetts Tree Service, we had planned for the removal of a very large tree between lot lines. However, when I talked with the crew about my concerns/questions of removal vs trimming, they listened intently and were so so informative! After 20 minutes of us talking â treesâ (yes, 20 minutes!), we decided to trim the large tree (yay!!). They were so flexible with the change of plans - and Iâ m so grateful! Now, this is the cherry on top! After they had beautifully trimmed our large tree, I asked Justin (lead crew) for a quote of more tree removal/trimming on our lot. We walked around the yard for at least ten minutes! He diagnosed our plum tree, made winter plans for our oak, and gave info/opinions about my ideas. (Have I mentioned how great Rivetts Tree Service is?!) Once we decided on a plan, Justin tells me they will COME BACK (they were already loaded to head to another site!)- SAME DAY! Itâ s the day after having Rivetts Tree Service at our home, and I canâ t stop looking at our newly trimmed trees! I love them! Rivetts Tree Service is truly the best out there - they are informative, talented, courteous, go out of their way, and I very seriously had a great time learning from them! If you are in need of tree service, Rivetts Tree Service is the place! You will not be disappointed!"

"AAA Tree Pros did an excellent job removing 2 diseased ash trees from our property. They offered a fair price, scheduled the work very quickly, and handled everything safely and professionally. The crew removed the trees, hauled away all the wood, and ground the stumps thoroughly. The cleanup was great as well. Very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them."

"Stump Stars Blake did an outstanding job for us! He was polite, on time, did a very thorough job, and cleaned up the area perfectly! I could see that Blake has a solid work ethic, which is very refreshing. We had a pine tree that died recently, Stump Stars will get another job here!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

If you’re buying a small tree with lots of room to grow, expect to pay around $100 to $200 for a potted version. But if you’re buying a larger tree—say one over 10 feet—prices rise, starting in the $500 to $600 range and increasing quickly from there. Keep in mind that paying for professional palm tree planting or transplanting services will increase the cost.

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.

Yes, it’s possible to overwater a newly-planted tree. Daily watering is great for the first few weeks, but it’s important not to go overboard. Excessive watering can lead to various problems, including root rot, fungal diseases, and a lack of root development.
