"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!"

"The first time I called him, Jim showed up in 20 minutes on a Sunday afternoon! He came to unplug the sink due to a clogged garbage disposal, which only took about 10 minutes. Since he charged by the hour, he actually asked if there was anything else he could do! I've never had any other contractor ever offer that. After that day, I had him come back to take out the garbage disposal completely and install a new sink. Jim does a beautiful job and is an extremely efficient worker. He wastes no time and can truly do it all when it comes to handywork. He is super personable and an all-around nice guy."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

It depends on the type of tree. Typically, late spring on the cusp of winter is ideal for trees about to emerge from dormancy and produce new buds. That said, late fall is ideal for certain deciduous trees prone to bleeding sap. Avoid trimming trees in early spring, when they’re prone to disease.

You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.

Firewood tends to be cheaper during the spring and summer. When the demand for firewood is lower during these seasons, many firewood companies offer lower prices and added discounts. In addition, the supply of firewood is typically higher in these months, meaning the quality is typically higher as well.

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.
