"I needed 2 trees cut down because I was concerned they would fall on my house or the neighbors. He was on time, was very calm and patient with one of my neighbors. The trees were cut down and all the debris cleaned up. He even cut up the large tree that was still lying in my yard and stacked the logs. He and his crew were great and I would highly recommend him!"

"Noah and Crew actually built a Pole Barn for me. It’s 30’x48’ with attic trusses. They did an amazing job, it’s actually so nice I wish we didn’t cover it in tin metal! Perfectly square and amazing craftsmanship. Noah is very talented and trustworthy. I will most definitely be using him for other projects that we have. I’m also going to have him install a tin roof on my 1907 House. Thank you Noah and God Bless you Brother!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

If a tree isn’t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.

Most trees can be successfully transplanted while they are young, but pines, walnuts, and some oak tree varieties are more difficult to move because their root systems grow deeper than most other trees. Also, trees adapted to sandy soil with wide root systems like beeches, willows, and aspens are harder to dig out because their roots spread much farther out from the trunk. In these cases, unless the trees are very young and small, it’s a good idea to consult a tree planting professional.

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years.
