"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!!"

"Todd was so easy to work with. Completely knowledgeable about trees as he is an arborist. He listened to what we wanted to get done and made suggestions based on his vast experience. He took notes as we walked around during the estimating process and when he and his crew came to do the work, we walked around again and talked through what needed to be done with every tree. His pricing was very fair and he and his crew worked very hard, effeciently and did an excellent job cleaning up all the debri from the trimming. Our yard is transformed from a very overgrown look to a beautiful park like yard. I would highly recommend 1-2 Tree to for any tree trimming or removal needs."

"They did a great job removing the large tree, and then grinding down the stump and tree roots. They were professional, polite, and hard working. The only issue was lack of communication from the office as to when the stump grinding would be done. I had to call the person who did the actual work to touch base. But other than that, it went really well. I would recommend them."

"Michael and the crew were professionals. They removed tall, mature trees without a problem and hauled everything away so once the work was done there wasn't anything for me to do. Two huge trees that were very close to my home and a neighbor's fence required a crane, which arrived when it was needed. I have nothing but the highest of praise for these folks! The next time I need anything done with the trees around my home I will call on them! I highly recommend Peach Tree Care, contact them and soon you, too, will be as pleased as I was with their work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trimming your palm trees once or twice per year keeps them healthy and robust. Caring for palm trees includes cutting off brown leaves to prevent wildfires and pathway obstruction. However, you don’t want to over-trim the palm tree. Cutting too many branches off will weaken the tree and prevent future growth. And it’s essential to have a strong, healthy palm tree during hurricane season to prevent safety risks or property damage.

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.

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.

It’s possible, although a lot depends on the cause of damage and what steps you take. If the remaining parts of the maple tree are alive and not under attack by disease or pests, they can often be saved even if large portions of the maple tree have died. Frequent watering, careful pruning, mulch, and any recommended fungicides or insecticides can all help with survival.
