"Very reasonable quote for the job. Crew came on time and cut down 3 large trees - one pine and 2 oak - all were dead. In 2-1/2 hrs they were done and completely cleaned up like they had never been there! They also split the 2 oaks into firewood and stacked them! Very professional and will definitely recommend to anyone who needs tree removal. Will definitely use again!"

"They were very professional and did quality work. When Tony and his crew finished all of the trees and any branches were gone. My yard is in great shape now. Everything I was told that would be cut was above what I expected. I would recommend Premier Tree Service to anyone wanting a tree remove."

"We’ve had the pleasure of working with Isak and High Lonesome Timber several times now at a couple of different homes over the last few years. Isak and his team have done excellent work every time, they’re professional, courteous, work safely and clearly have a thoughtful approach to their craft. I worked as a general contractor for 20 years so I’ve had the opportunity to work with a lot of subcontractors in my life and Isak and team are truly top-notch. I would definitely recommend High Lonesome Timber to anyone looking for tree trimming or tree removal services."

"This is the most refreshing experience I have had in hiring a company. I am fairly new to this area, so you don't always know who will do their best job at a reasonable price. I am truly grateful and impressed with the services and respectful way I was treated. Jeffrey and his Dad were hard working and kind. I will suggest that you call them. And I will tell others about them. Just Good People! I will call them again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree. 

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against 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

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.
