"Midwest Tree Surgeons did a great job of removing a 60 year old sweet gum tree in our backyard. No damage was done to a chain link fence directly below one side, and they even relocated two, heavy, concrete bird baths until they were finished. The owner, Christian, is a licensed arborist and actually did all of the climbing. He even returned today, a Sunday, to remove chips left from the stump grinding. My only complaint was the ruts left in the lawn from their tractor tires. This company gave us the lowest bid, and I have already referred them to a friend."

"Amazing communication, professionalism, and price. Trained arborists made short work of the job. They artfully worked around dangerous obstacles without incident or delay, taking the extra time to leave the work area cleaner than they found it. I was very impressed. The crew was not at all intimidated by navigating obstacles in the city. I will definitely be calling Baumann again for future jobs."

"I contacted STL Tree Services about a tree that I had that potentially needed to be removed. They came out and gave me a quote that I was really happy with. The quote included stump and root removal, which was what I wanted. They recommended removing the tree for multiple reasons, which I agreed with. They also let me know that there might be damage to the grass in my yard due to the equipment being used to remove the stump and roots. The crew came out to perform the removal and did a great job. They were fast and took care of the clean up. One of the guys gave me a heads up about any roots that might be left and explained that they would have to tear up quite a bit of my yard to remove them. He recommended that I leave them since they were small and shouldn’t hurt the lawnmower. He also gave me some recommendations regarding other trees that I had in my yard. When they left, there really wasn’t that much damage to my yard. I was originally a little nervous about how much damage would occur since I saw a few other reviewers mention it. It was pretty minor in my opinion, but I had also avoided watering in that area to make sure the ground would be dry when they came. Overall I had a great experience and was really impressed with the crew. The only thing that I wish had been a little better was the communication that I had with the office. I found out that they only call you a week before they are scheduled to come out and perform the service. It wasn’t really that big of a deal, but it was a few weeks before they got to me so I began to question whether or not they forgot about me. However, the office was quick to reply to my phone call and email when I reached out asking about this. I also found out that there would be a fee if you used a credit card. If I had known that ahead of time then I would have just wrote a check and given it to the crew. Now I have to mail a check to avoid the fee. Once again, really not the end of the world, but would have been nice to know ahead of time. I would absolutely recommend this company to my friends!"

"Great work. Showed up on time. Team hit the ground running. Due to space considerations and the size of the tree, the crew had to drop the tree manually. They moved yard “stuff” (birdbath , etc.) that might be in the trees path. Very professional. Team constantly raking and picking up debris. When they were done they left a very clean space behind, with no yard divots and only a little sawdust. We had a very large tree, and they had it down and out in four hours. Victor was our contact and he was very professional and explained every step of the process. Highly recommend. We are scheduling A & M for additional tree work in the fall."

"Mr. Baumann was relatively punctual in responding to my phone call for an appointment (given that it was summer and a prime season for tree work). He came out to the house within a few days, assessed the work, gave the price and estimated when the team would be out to do the work. His crew was very efficient, did exactly as planned and cleaned up completely. We were very satisfied with the entire experience. They even trimmed so that the remaining branches on our side were rather artfully cut --- not an electric company straight line."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.

Palm trees are unique in that their roots don't grow straight down; they grow horizontally. Typically, palm tree roots go down between 12 and 36 inches deep. The roots grow far and wide from the base of the palm tree to absorb as much water and soil nutrients as possible. In addition, the horizontal roots are also very strong—keeping palm trees stable and helping them sway during storms.

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

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.
