"Hunter and his crew were great! They took out about eight big trees in one day? Size them all up and hauled them all off too! Showed up when he said he was going to show up. The kid?s got a big heart and a strong back. I would certainly have them do more work for me."

"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"

"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."

"Crew was very professional, friendly and polite. Topped a huge silver maple (around 60 to 70 ft tall), with my garage and fence on one side and the neighbors shed and electrical lines on the other side. Removed a tree in front and ground stump and trimmed 2 other trees. Very fast and efficient. Clean up they did a great job. We would highly recommend them and will use again if need arises."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

A tree can split because of high winds, a change in temperature, or from an infestation or tree disease. All of these factors can overlap, making a single cause difficult to pinpoint. While winter storms are some of the most common causes for a tree to split, it can also happen because of termites or rot.

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.
