"they came to view job and give me an estimate within 30 minutes of my original call.I agreed to a very fair price for a turnkey cutting and removal of a tree that had fallen in Monday's Rainstorm.the tree fell across the fence on my daughters neighbor"s outbuilding.Mario assured me his company could remove the tree and 3 others including a "widow maker" tree attached to the fallen part. This is a man of his word.Early the next morning they had cut down and removed the wood, mulched the branches, and raked and blown the area..shortly after noon, you couldn"t tell there were trees there..If you need an honest reliable company to do tree work or tree removal, I highly recommend them..I give them 5 stars..!"

"This was an emergency project. JD Tree service came to my home on Sunday morning after finding this service on Angi the day before. The crew did an excellent job removing the tree. I could not get out of my front gate. After I got an estimate and excepted it, (which was a reasonable estimate) my front gate was cleared immediately. The crew arrived an hour later and completed the work. Good job JD Tree Service! Sidney Taylor"

"I would highly recommend Kiker’s Tree Service. They were efficient, affordable and polite. I had a total of 6 quotes to get trees trimmed and taken down. Kiker’s Tree Service came out to be much lower in price, then the others. Travis was a pleasure to work with, he made the process easy and comfortable. The staff was professional and communicated through out the day. The team finished a big project in one day. They were all knowledgeable and friendly and they cleaned up perfectly. I even added extra stuff to the project the day of the job. They were very accommodating with reasonable pricing. I would certainly use then again for future projects. You will be total satisfied with the results you will get."

"Cody and his crew did a great job taking down several trees on my property with two being very close to my house. They were careful not to damage anything and they responded quickly to do the job. The crew also did an excellent job cleaning up everything after the trees were down. I would recommend them for any tree service needs."

"Hector and his crew were very knowledgable and a pleasure to work with. They spent 2 days removing quite a few trees and some were huge (70ft). We were amazed to watch them manuver the trees, and sections to avoid damaging other trees and plants. They finished in the time frame Hector estimated. They thoroughly cleaned the debris from the yard- I That was a plesant surprise. They were all very friendly and a pleasure to with with. We already gave their number to our neighbor. Their price was very reasonable. We will definately use them again if needed!"

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

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.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

Removing tree stumps is a dangerous and complex job that requires a high level of expertise. Many landscapers specialize in general lawn care and maintenance. But, some may have the proper licensing and qualifications needed to safely remove tree stumps. In most cases, though, landscapers will refer you to a local tree removal or stump grinding company.

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.

No. Most of the time, suckers are only a sign that the tree is experiencing stress. However, they can also be the canary in the coal mine, letting you know that something else is stressing your tree. If you have lots of suckers on your tree, calling in an arborist or a tree care expert is always a good call to determine the cause and develop a solution that de-stresses your tree.
