"Mason came in a very timely manner to take a look at my walnut tree in my back yard. He knew I didn't want to lose the tree but needed it cleaned up because it was in bad shape. He made it look absolutely beautiful and it's healthier than I've ever seen it. He also cleaned up everything that fell to the ground like he was never there! I'll definitely be calling him again for future tree work. I would recommend highly Tri state forestry !"

"After speaking with Robert Platt II, I learned he is no longer part of Big Oaks Tree Service LLC. He is starting a new business. He has reached out to me and explained the situation. He is willing to do what needs to be done to complete the job to my satisfaction even if it is at a loss to him. I trust Robert Platt having worked with him before, and I was very satisfied with him and his crew. I believe I will be will satisfied working with him again."

"Young & Vaughn were very friendly and professional. The quote was reasonable and fell within budget. The men communicated the steps to take down the large tree and executed as planned. There was a small equipment failure but they were back on track in no time. They are great guys."

"The service done involved shrubbery and ornamental tree trimming and a clean up of landscaping gone amuck. I did not have any deadline nor did I know exactly what I needed, but I needed help to get some order back to our landscaping. Greg was courteous and knowledgeable explaining not only what he could do but what the various plants/shrubbery/trees needed. He had some nasty weather to work through and the job was finished just before company and Thanksgiving. The work he did made a very noticeable improvement with the landscaping. I was very pleased with the work done and very pleased that Greg was professional and courteous in his approach to this job. I would recommend this service to others in a heartbeat. Our landscaping, although we are in Fall approaching Winter, actually looks like someone cares for it. Thanks GS Outdoor Services."

Tree Service FAQs, 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.

Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an “Angi Approved” badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.

You should prune ornamental trees once every other year after the fruit has matured and begun to drop. You should also prune out dead branches whenever you see them. Pruning too often can stimulate more growth, especially in faster growing varieties like Bradford pears.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.
