"Kenneth Wilson is owner and made the whole process very easy for someone who doesn't have any experience with this kind of service! I actually had a few other quotes done by some other local tree services. He was by far the most professional and thorough in details! (That others were not) All together I had six trees cut down and six stumps removed! Would definitely hire again! Immaculate work."

"Mr. Brown came out and looked at the job. He gave a fair quote and was available to do the job when I wanted it done. He arrived promptly. Did a great job grinding out the tree and did not leave a mess behind. I would recommend the company to others."

"We had one small tree cut down and a few branches removed from others. The guys did an excellent job. It was a team of four men, and they worked quickly and well. We wanted to keep the wood for burning, and they cut everything up into manageable pieces for my husband to chop later, they moved all wood off the lawn and into the natural area, and then they came through with a blower and cleaned up. It was like they were never here except ... they did a great job! They were all polite and respectful, and the owner Ray is a hard-working cheerful guy. We highly recommend this business!"

"I looked for some tree service to be done in and around my house and was quoted several prices. Mabes Tree Service was by far the cheapest so the work was in order. Dustin Mabe ( owner) was very personable as was his entire crew. They did excellent work, cleaned up the area nicely. After the fact i decided to bring them back to take out 7 stumps which they promptly and efficiently did. I highly recommend Mabes Tree Service for tree removal and stump grinding. Give them a call throw them your business. You'll be glad you did."

"I called on a Friday, Todd came out and gave me an estimate the same day. He was able to fit me into his schedule the next day and he and his crew came out and cut the tree down. The tree was in a tight space and if it fell it could have taken out my fence and my next door neighbor's. I also need a tree trimmed that had grown and was leaning on my neighbor's shed. They were quick, efficient, cleaned up well and had the whole thing done in about an hour. I had called someone else almost two months ago who had told me he would do the job the following week and never showed up. I'd called and no one called me back. I finally got tired of waiting and called Triad Tree & Lawn. I couldn't be more pleased. He was also able to give me some money off of the original estimate due to a landscaping issue. Todd's a nice guy and very professional. I highly recommend him!"

"Greg got the work done correctly. It was a huge tree. If it had fallen, I would not have had a house left. He was chosen over the other companies listed on Anji's because he has liability insurance that would have protected my property and workers compensation to protect his workers. Most tree services do not protect their workers. He shared the importance of this before I even chose him. He also provided the documents to prove the insurance. He had a far better price than my other 2 estimates. He is the friendliest contractor and never stops smiling. He is very serious about his work, took measurements, suggested I call 811 for any underground utilities to be located before his began. He had a small workspace in my yard to work with, but they completed the task without incident. His whole crew were professional and friendly. I definitely would hire him again! Great job Greg!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

There are several signs that may indicate a tree needs to be cut down. These include visible damage to the trunk or branches, a hollow trunk, extensive storm damage, or a significant lean to one side. Other warning signs are pest infestations or the tree growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures. It is best to hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree, as they can determine if it can be saved or if removal is necessary.

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task. 

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.
