"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."

""I highly recommend Bobby from 'Stump Guys' for any outdoor project. From the very start, his pricing was completely fair and transparent with no hidden surprises. He showed up exactly when he said he would, which is hard to find these days.Bobby went above and beyond the basic job requirements. He was incredibly conscientious about my property, taking extra care not to leave a mess and ensuring everything looked spotless before he left. His professionalism, communication, and work ethic are top-notch. I will absolutely use his services again!""

"I hired Ziembaâ s landscaping and tree service for removal of 10 trees. I knew it would be expensive and have been putting it off. When Mr. Ziemba came out to do a free estamite I was very surprised that the price was very affordable. He came out the same week and removed all 10 trees in one day. He and his crew were very respectful and went above and beyond to make sure the trees were removed safely and efficiently. Once the trees were down, he cleaned up all the brush and wood leaving my yard looking flawless. I will definitely be using his services again and highly recommend his company!"

"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

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

Usually, trees cannot grow back after their stump has been ground, but some very hearty types of trees can. For example, if you have a black locust or Redford pear, the grinding will need to go deep to prevent them from growing back. Ask your tree service or stump removal expert whether your tree can resprout after its stump is ground down.

It's easy to misidentify trees that appear to be maple trees due to similarities in leaf shapes. Sweetgum, sycamore, and yellow poplar all have leaf shapes and appearances similar to maples. The fact that around a dozen maple tree varieties exist, only about half of which are considered common, makes misidentification an often typical occurrence.  

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.
