"Barker's has an experienced crew, including an arborist, and Steve and his crew (three) always asked me which larger branches I was comfortable or interested in removing. While I wasn't looking for the cheapest job price, it was competitive. Only one minor issue, was filling a hole in the trunk - it seeped out. Update 7-10-2018: the tree trunk hole wouldn't hold the foam filler, ants had infested the three combined tree trunks, so the tree was cut down. The price for the 40 ft maple with three trunks was reasonable; our only concern is the heavy lawn wear from the 4-wheel skid steerer used to haul the big branches and trunk sections from the back yard to the street, so the grass needs to recover. The stump grinding is still pending. Update 9-26-2018: grinding of two tree stumps was completed by Barker's on 8/28/18. Lawn repairs (sod/overseeding and fertilizer applications) have been made by the homeowner in mid-September for areas where tree removal and stump grinding was performed."

"I am happy to recommend this company. They responded to my HomeAdvisor call immediately with an in-person estimate, then removed and shredded some overgrown shrubs at a reasonable price. While they were there, I hired them again to take down a very tall walnut tree, which they were able to do using a climber and a bucket truck. Bobby W., the owner, is very experienced on all the equipment, and will also be doing some grading and dirt work for us with his Bobcat. His crew did a great job of cleaning up, and were professional and polite. I appreciate being able to hire a local, family-owned business ."

"H&B was working at our neighbors' doing some tree trimming. I asked them to come take a look and give us a quote. They gave us a very reasonable quote immediately and were able to start work as soon as our neighbor's job was done. The crew and owner were very personable and excellent to work with. They cleaned up trees, brush and flowerbeds around our entire house and left everything nice and clean. We are very pleased with their work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Leaving a dead tree can expose your other trees to potential diseases, pests, and fungi, and it can also be a hazard. If your tree is dead, then you should hire a tree maintenance service to remove it. Cutting down trees is extremely dangerous, and a professional can ensure no one gets hurt and there is no damage to your property. Tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000 and will prevent future issues and keep you and your property safe.

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.
