"AAA was able to quickly handle an emergency situation with a large tree in my front yard. They arrived within minutes of being contacted and resolved the issue. Then they returned a few days later to complete the work that wasn't as urgent. They left my yard in great shape and picked up all of the chips, branches and twigs. Recommend."

"TruFast Tree Service did a really nice job for us. They got us on their calendar within a couple of weeks and took care of us. They removed 2 big trees, did stump grinding, and trimmed up the remaining tree very nicely. They cleaned up the work site well too. They were pleasant, hard working men, and we highly recommend them."

"Overall a very good experience. Andy, the owner, supervised 3 workers: they were punctual, professional, did what we agreed and left the area tidy. The estimate was what I paid and that seemed a fair price according to my research. I would definately use this company again.

"I'm very impressed and extremely pleased with Brandon's Tree Service! Not only did Brandon and his co-worker do an excellent job trimming my shrubbery and then cleaning up afterwards (all for a very reasonable price), but Brandon did a wonderful job communicating with me. I especially appreciated his reliability - he called when he said he would and showed up as scheduled. That hasn't been my experience in the past with several other companies in my area and I'm sorry now that I didn't reach out to Anji's from the very beginning. I would definitely recommend Brandon's Tree Service!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

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.

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.
