"

Was contacted by one of the crew on a Saturday while they were working in the neighborhood. Since we had planned on having the tree work done, we indicated interest. Later Chad stopped by and we walked around the yard and decided what needed to be done and the price. The price was certainly competitive and very much in line with work we had done several years ago and the large amount of work this time.

Scheduled the work a couple of days out.  They completed the trimming and tree removal exactly as promised, and the removal of an enormous amount of branches and trees took about  six and half hours. It was a big job that included significant trimming to six large trees and complete removal of two. The trimming included one extremely large ash that hung over the house and removing a huge spruce that was way too close to the house.  All went perfectly. The crew has a small tracked "grabber" that dragged all the debris to the front yard where it was shredded. The clean-up was perfect - not a branch or leaf was left after they were through.

The crew was professional, personable and courteous. Our trees look great now!

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

In nature, there are many things that can cause a tree to die, including diseases, insects, and natural disasters such as fires or droughts. Non-natural methods of killing a tree include herbicides or manual intervention, such as cutting it down. Consult a tree removal professional about your options for naturally killing a tree.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.
