"We have used services from Tree Wizard for many years and have always found their work to be of excellent quality. They make a visit before the work is done to discuss what you need and give you an estimate. We have used Tree Wizard for a variety of needs such as tree or limb removals after bad storms, trimming for the best shaping and health of trees or to get limbs away from the roof, advice on problems or diseases of trees or shrubs and how to treat them and replanting of new trees. Tree Wizard employees have been with the company long term, they know the trees in our area, they discuss any problems and what they will do and the cost with you thoroughly. They do an excellent job cleaning up after their work is finished, they keep your trees and yard healthy and attractive, and they are very professional and friendly. You can use them with great confidence."

"My tree was trimmed off the roof of my house the way I wanted , I had an added request of trimming limbs off my fence on the same tree and he took care of those while he was there as well. The brush and leaves were cleaned and raked, my yard looked the way it did before he got there. I would definitely use this tree service again and recommend to all friends."

"This Tree Service Company was excellent to deal with from the very start. Tyler contacted us and was very friendly and professional. We had a tree that had a big limb blow down during the recent storm. They were very careful to not damage a wooden fence and also were very careful about saving a flower garden surrounding the tree. They were very careful in bringing there equipment and did not damage our yard. While here they also trimmed another tree for a reasonable charge. They were very carefully in taking down branches close to our roof. the entire staff was friendly and thoughtful in how they did their work. They cleaned up the area thoroughly. I have already recommended B&B Tree Service to some of my friends. Great company who did an excellent job for us. Sincerely Chuck & Cheryl Johnson"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

It may not be worth it to rake every leaf in your yard, but it’s necessary to remove the majority of leaves to prevent them from smothering grass growth on your lawn. However, raking leaves isn’t your only option for leaf removal. You can remove leaves easily with a leaf blower or compost or mulch them with your lawn mower to repurpose them to help grow your garden or yard.

If you don’t trim your palm trees, you can expect several negative outcomes, including:

  • Unhealthy palm trees attract pests, diseases, and fungi 

  • Dead falling fronds can cause severe injury or damage to your home, pedestrians, or cars

  • Dead palm branches are flammable and can catch fire, especially during a lightning storm

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.
