"Great. Their initial time frame was long (they were scheduling up to two months out), but I mentioned I was hoping for sooner. When, four weeks in, they had a sudden opening, due to a job in my neighborhood finishing early, they called to arrange and were there within an hour. Late notice meant I could not be home, but the arborist reassured me by speaking with me on the phone. The tree pruning was smart and sensitive. When I expressed some disappointment with underprunung on a big shrub, the arborist arranged to come back to fix it the following week. Super responsive, willing to explain recommendations."

"A very bad storm struck our city and blew down a lot of trees all over the county.  I had 3 trees down and one
teetering dangerously over our house.  My husband was out of town.  I immediately started calling tree services from the
yellow pages and let them know my dilemma.  I was having to just leave messages at each of them.  "Reach's" owner called me back quickly and said that he, personally, would come over right away to assess the situation.  He agreed with me that this large limb needed to be removed quickly before someone, or my house, was hurt.  He quickly started working on it himself while he was waiting for the rest of his crew to help.  They ended up doing some other tree trimming while they were at it.  I think they got another 5-6 jobs from people watching and wanting them to do their yards too.  Everyone that used them were extremely happy!

"Twin City Tree Authority removed an overdue, diseased Ash tree. I had been hesitant and dragging my feet to get the tree looked at, due to my lack of knowledge with trees. I was so impressed (and relieved!) with their honesty and level of arborist knowledge. I was given option of what work needed to be done, along with detailed costs for each item. They used a lift to access my backyard, through a fence and gate. They were very cautious and careful not to damage my yard, which was very important to me. I will be using Twin City Tree Authority from now on. I highly recommend this crew!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

Since overwatering can harm mature trees just as much as a lack of water, it’s important to know the signs of an overwatered tree. If your tree’s leaves are yellowing, wilting, or dropping leaves, it’s likely that you’re overwatering. Other common signs include rotting, fungi, soggy soil, soft or peeling bark, falling leaves, and brittle roots. 

If you realize that you’ve been overwatering your mature tree, stop watering and give the soil time to dry out. Then moving forward, increase time between watering sessions. 

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.
