"Rory was prompt and professional in taking down a cracked tree that was leaning over a neighbor’s fence and shed. He was very up front with what would be required to get the job done which included acquiring a specialized lift and enlisting another hand to ensure there was no damage to the neighbor’s property. He was in contact with the neighbor to explain the job and get their permission to enter their yard to clean up any debris. (As a side note, the neighbor had Rory do some tree work after seeing the job he did) The lift he used required a section of fence to be removed for accessing the backyard. Rory took on this task on as well ensuring the fence was properly reinstalled and secured after the job. The job site was left clean and tidy with all portions of the tree hauled away. I couldn’t recommend O’Connor Tree Works enough … very prompt, communicative, reasonable and thorough! This will be the first business I’d call if I need tree work completed in the future!"

"Dustin got back to me right away to schedule. He arrived on time and trimmed my birch snag to a point that it will not fall on my fence when it does fall. He also looked at my mountain ash which was stressed. He trimmed the branches that were rubbing on each other and old me to moved the rocks and grass from underneath it. He educated me on caring for the tree and how to shake the branches after watering so they don't burn."

"I haven't had any work done yet. But... after 3 years and multiple calls to the most well know tree services in the area, Betchels was the fist to call back. I made an inquiry on Sunday (fathers day) Ryon called back Monday AM and spent 2 hours on the property on Tuesday, after business hours and at my convenience. He looked at every tree and made recommendations for what I could do myself vs the professional jobs. I was left with a written quote more reasonable than any of the nightmare stories I'd heard from friends and neighbors. We have a large property with multiple trees that have been neglected for years. I was dreading a professional assessment/quote but walked away feeling encouraged and looking forward to future progress. I wouldn't normally write a review on work that hasn't been done but I was so impressed with the service, quoted price and his willingness to accommodate that I felt like I could review the experience so far. I'll write more when the work is completed but I'm confident it will exceed my expectations! Thank you Ryon for taking the time to make an overwhelming situation feel manageable. I look forward to working with you."

"I havenâ  t seen the work @ the condo. My renter told me he was pleased. The gentleman they sent to me was very professional & did a great job. The only complaint I have is they took a couple of days to get to the cond& the renter had to leave the door unlocked. They didnâ  t show up. They called me & I had to leave work to unlock my renters condo."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Unlike some fruit trees, such as apple, sweet cherry, or pear that require at least two trees for pollination, most peach trees are self-pollinating. This means you can plant just one tree and still expect it to produce fruit, typically within two to four years. For best results, consult with a local landscaper to choose the right peach tree variety for your specific climate, soil type, and yard layout.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Trees are beneficial to the environment and wildlife. If you have an old tree, but it’s healthy, it may be best to avoid cutting it down. However, if it’s showing signs of bug infestation, disease, or is potentially hazardous, then you should contact a tree removal company to cut it down. 

If you are unsure whether you should have it removed or not, then speak with an arborist to determine what is best.

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.
