"Jay contacted me on Friday and he and his crew came on Saturday to cut down 3 huge trees. I couldn’t be happier with the work that was done. They cleaned up all limbs and huge trunks. The crew will return on Monday to complete the cleaning. They are very meticulous about their work. I couldn’t be happier with the work that was done. Jay is so kind and wants to please you. I feel like I’ve made a new friend. Don’t hesitate to hire them!!!"

"We did a lot of research to compare pricing and the quality of work because we have had other jobs that we contracted out that we were not happy with and everyone I spoke to said he did a great job. I think its because he is passionate about his work."

"Jay Cotton and crew did an awesome job. They cut, removed and cleaned up debris from a hickory tree that was too close to my daughters house. While there they removed the trunk and roots from a fallen tree caused by a storm. At my house removed 4 huge limbs from my 50 yr old oak tree that were hanging over my house as well as neat clean up. Price for these 2 jobs was very reasonable!"

"I am so impressed with these guys! They came out on a Friday to give me a quote and by Saturday I had five trees, threes shrubs removed, new sod laid down and a brand new garden bed. They are also sending someone out to clean the leaves and gutters tomorrow. AND they pointed out some serious issues with my roof that I had not noticed before. Worth every penny!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

Dead tree branches should be removed, because they can cause the tree to lose nutrients. They can also make the tree more susceptible to disease and pests. Removing dead and diseased branches can help the tree recover and increase the odds of saving a dying tree. Make sure to prune the tree correctly to avoid damaging it further.

Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
