"It was an excellent service. They removed 5 trees and trimmed up 4 more trees in 6 hours period of time. Very reasonable price. They just charged me 2500USD for the work. We were very impressed with the service."

"Seth and his crew respect the trees, the property and the customer. They did all of the work without having to drive any heavy machinery onto the property,, so the yard was not damaged at all. They had two guys up in the trees with chainsaws and two on the ground picking up and raking. When they were finished, the trees looked great. Not like they had been hacked up, but that they had been neatly trimmed. No more dead branches hanging and falling. Just very clean looking. I just bought this old House and have a lot of improvements to make, so I could not afford to get all of the tree work done at once. We are doing it in stages. I am planning to have them back to do more work on my property in the near future. I was very impressed with their whole operation!"

"They arrived on time, did the job and cleaned up all the tree branches and leaves, taking them with them. The company owner was a little over anxious in wanting to increase the amount of work they were preforming to get more money for the day. The only real issue was the owner came and went and a limb was dropped on one of my fences, but there was little damage. I would suggest that his employees pick up after themselves, I picked up four water bottles and a big gulp cup scattered around my yard. I recommended this company to my neighbor who also had some work done."

"I thought the quote from the vendor was too high. His only option was to remove the tree. I wanted to talk to some other companies. I also hoped to be able to save the tree. It is over 50 years old. I was referred to an arborist by a neighbor. I took the arborist's recommendation. The tree has been treated and is responding to the treatment."

"Their team did a great job taking down the tree. We had a maple tree about 5 feet from our home and we were worried about it falling on us with how the strong the winds get. The tree was at least 80 ft tall. They took the tree down with great care within 2-3 hours. I would recommend them to anyone!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.

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.

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task. 

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster.
