"I cannot say enough good things about this company! They were everything an outstanding company should be - great communication, prompt, friendly, did an excellent job trimming our huge silver maple, and above-and-beyond on clean-up afterwards. Jose and his crew trimmed our silver maple which grows very near our house and next to our privacy fence. They cut off two large branches (2.5 ft in diameter), both which went over our rooftop. They did an exemplary job and without any damage to our roof, house, fence, and patio. If you are looking for tree service, I am confident you will not find a better company! We will definitely use 5hem again!"

"Several providers came to my house to assess the treatment of my very large ash tree, which had disease, as well as recent storm damage. The choice was to severely cut back the tree or to take it down. After much angst, my husband and I decided to take it down. Our decision of who to do the job was based on two things: time frame and price. Clark Tree Service dropped a quote in my mailbox for a trim. The price was excellent, but I wasn't sure exactly how much would be done. I had a tree service provider come later in the day to discuss my options. His price was competitive, and I liked the timeframe that he gave me. That said, I very much appreciate Clark's sending someone quickly. Would recommend."

"I hired them to remove a hanging tree branch tangled in power lines and while they were there to get the debris pile out of my yard. They had a low bid and they were able to get to me the same day! They told me they also do landscaping. I’ll probably be hiring them again in the future. Oh, and they didn’t just get the debris pile, they raked all the sticks up from the whole yard!"

"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!"

"

Was a slight delay because of bad weather but very prompt as soon as the weather permitted. I felt it was a little pricey but they

did quality work for their money. Owners and workers were professional and courteous. Would use them again if needed.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

When a palm tree no longer produces new fronds and old fronds start turning yellow-brown, that’s a sign the tree is dying. However, transplanted palm trees can show these signs for the first several months as they re-establish themselves. It’s best to keep watering and not give up on the palm tree until a couple of seasons have passed and you’re sure it’s not coming back to life.

Most tree removals take 3-8 hours, requiring additional time for stump grinding or debris hauling.

Make sure the tree roots soak around a day before you dig the tree up for the transplant. Keep the roots wet while the tree is above ground. After the transplant is finished, provide consistent water every day for the first month or so. You don’t want to overwater the tree, but you do want to keep the roots wet so they can thrive in their new environment.
