"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!"

"The Alpha Services team did a fantastic job trimming our trees. Recently purchased house with two large oak trees and a tree with a awkward lean over a pool. Alpha Services cleaned them all up very nicely, and were extra careful bringing the limbs down near the pool. Hardly any debris ended up in the pool and nothing was dropped on the pool deck. Clean up was also great, and the team even cut up some of the wood for us to use as firewood. Highly recommend!"

They have all the proper quipment along with the skill to use it correctly. Noel and his crew are very personable and cordial. They respect your property and work hard to satisfy your request exactly. The clean up was excellent. When I asked for more work to be done, they did it immediately without overcharging for the work. They go beyond. KC Tree service gives you th best bang for the buck hands down. I highly recommend them to anyone. They get it done now. You needn't look any farther."

"From initial request for quotation to job completion, this company has been knowledgeable, responsive and professional. A full-day job in sweltering heat was completed thoroughly by a hard-working crew with great attention to detail, including complete clean-up. The owner is great to work with - friendly, good knowledge and referrals for items he doesnâ t specialize in (pests in large ash tree), and positive attitude. Highest recommendation."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.

Ivy eventually kills trees by restricting its growth, blocking sunlight, absorbing nutrients and water from the soil, and weakening the tree. Trees with ivy are more likely to experience diseases, pests, rot, and fungi growth. When ivy weighs down tree branches, the tree is more likely to break during a storm and cause damage.
