"We had a Canadian Cherry tree that had been infested with Black Knot disease and was more than ready to come down. It was right next to our deck (and a power line) and inside our 6 ft high wooden backyard fence. One of the crew did a remarkable job of cutting it down alone by climbing. We also had a Green Ash tree infested with Emerald Ash Borer in our back yard, near our fence. The owner, Vitaliy Savchenko, stood on a platform lift to expertly cut down most of the Ash tree. A crew member finished off the trunk at ground level. Another crew member carefully ground out the Ash stump and filled in the hole. We were relieved that their stump grinding machine fit through our gate opening width of 40 inches. Our fears of any damage to our fence and/or deck turned out to be groundless because absolutely nothing was harmed, including the Yew bush (surrounding the Cherry tree), other bushes in the yard, etc. - branches were expertly dropped where they did no harm. The crew who cleaned up branches did an excellent job. At our request, they left the Cherry stump, which we can use as a stand for a bird bath or plant. We requested a 2" thick slice of each of the trunks, as a remembrance. All of this was of much interest to our neighbors, one of whom requested a large Mulberry tree (growing right next to the house and amid power and telephone lines) to be removed and Vitaliy took the opportunity of having the platform lift there to go over and take care of that for him. Our neighbor was pleased with the work and the cost (about $1000 - included stump removal). In our front yard, Vitaliy trimmed our Apple tree and some of our Sugar Maple tree from the ground. Then, a crew member used the platform lift to trim higher on the tree (we wanted no branches near the roof and a few others trimmed). 30 ft Canadian Cherry tree removal - $680. 35 ft Green Ash tree removal - $980. Green Ash tree stump - grind and remove - $250. Apple tree trimming - $50. 40 ft Sugar Maple tree trimming - $300 (10% senior discount on total bill = $226) - final cost for Sugar Maple was $74. Tax: $146.45. Total: $2,180.45. We were very pleased with this price. Had 3 other estimates - 2 considerably higher. One lower but we were more impressed with Vitaliy's expertise. We made our initial telephone inquiries on Tuesday, March 2 to four Angie's List tree companies. Vitaliy responded with an in-person estimate visit with us on Wednesday, March 3 (not all companies meet with you for the estimate). The work was completed on Monday, March 8, scheduled for 8:00 a.m. (arrival was about 7:50 a.m.) and all was completed before noon. He and his whole crew worked extremely efficiently and expertly. Vitaliy has put together a great team. We miss our trees but they had to come down and we couldn't be happier with our choice of Arbor Barber."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.

How often and long you should water a tree depends on the species and if it is mature or newly planted. The amount of water is also based on the tree's size. A good rule of thumb is approximately 5 gallons per inch of the trunk's diameter.

Adjusting watering to the recommended suggestions for the tree type and weather conditions is vital. For instance, watering trees during a drought is necessary, and you may need to water more frequently than usual.

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.
