"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."

"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"

"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

Yes, the same rules discussed above apply to your neighbor: They can trim one of your trees as long as they’re only cutting the portion that extends into their property. Your neighbor is not allowed to access your property without permission, nor can they cut past the property line. 

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.

Pruning is an effective way to prevent a diseased branch from infecting the rest of the tree. If the infection isn’t caught early enough and the pathogen has spread to the trunk or the majority of the branches though, it is too late to prune off the affected areas and you’ll likely need to remove the tree.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.
