"We had a large spruce tree that was pulling out of the ground that needed to be removed. James was exceptional. He was very responsive and quickly got the job done. James made sure everything was cleaned up, both after the tree removal and the stump removal. He is a very nice person who did an excellent job and went above and beyond expectations. I would highly recommend JP's Tree Service."

"Jay's Firewood & Mulch, LLC did a fantastic job! Jay & his crew had all the necessary equipment for removing large tree limbs that had grown over the roof of my house. The crew was very careful to not damage the old majestic tree, as well as taking care not to damage my roof, yard or existing landscaping. The turnaround time after accepting the very affordable bid was quick. Jay & his crew also neatly stacked the wood for my fireplace, as well as providing a very large mulch pile for my landscape. I highly recommend Jay's Firewood & Mulch, LLC, & I plan on using them again. 5 stars all the way!!"

"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."

"Onyx Tree Service!!! Where to even start?? If I could give 100 stars I would. Austin and his crew were very professional and personable. Jessica was very responsive in keeping me posted on the schedule and just a pleasure to work with. Austin and crew did a fantastic job cleaning up my huge sycamore and removing a few arborvitaes and a crazy overgrown "thing" in my backyard. The cleanup was great.... yard looked better than it did before they showed up. What a great group of people to work with. HIGHLY recommend!!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

For Bradford pears, damage from storms is common, and if the trunk splits, it can pose a danger to people and surrounding structures. The best thing to do in that instance is to have the tree removed. If there’s only minor damage to the branches, pruning away the damaged parts is the first order of business. You may also want to consult a professional arborist to make sure the tree is healthy.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season
