"Hired them for a major yard transformation. They removed 3 major oak trees, several large cedars, and countless brush, bushes, & ivy. This crew works extremely hard, efficient, and very well skilled. The crane operator and bobcat drivers are very talented with their maneuvers and make quick work of seemingly dicey tasks. All of the crew very nice and left us a clean yard. Great value. Wouldn't go to anyone else for a similar job"

"Oscar's Tree Service provided a very competitive quote. They were able to work my job into a very tight timeframe and did excellent work. They avoided nearby landscaping when removing the tree and left the yard as clean as when they started. I would highly recommend them!"

"This company delivered on what the job called for. Very professional. I had three large trees that came down in the storm week of August 4th. They cut them up and removed. Trimmed all the damaged trees. Hauled away all excess wood. Was able to mulch limbs back into our woods. They were able to spread the wood chips back into our natural areas. Went above and beyond what they said they would do. Arrived on time and finished in the time they had indicated. Pricing was far better than other quotes that I received. All my tree needs will be handled by M & T.."

"Highly recommend R&L Tree Service! Pete came out for our estimate and was quite fascinating to talk to, his knowledge and professionalism is impressive. We got a very reasonable estimate for the removal of a very large dead elm, pruning and moving a couple of younger trees. On removal day this team was incredible to watch. Everything was well thought out and executed with continuous communication. Our neighbors were so impressed that they ask me for their information. Clean up was perfect...like no one was here. Also, something else we really loved, trees are recycled back into nature. Thank you R&L!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

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.

Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.

For Bradford pears, damage from storms is common, and if the trunk splits, it can pose a danger to people and surrounding structures. The best thing to do in that instance is to have the tree removed. If there’s only minor damage to the branches, pruning away the damaged parts is the first order of business. You may also want to consult a professional arborist to make sure the tree is healthy.
