"I am delighted with the tree service from Limb it Up! Michelle reached out to me immediately to determine the scope of work and quote the job. The team came to my home to remove fallen trees and limb up a very large birch tree. They cleaned up everything. Now I can enjoy my deck this season! THANK YOU FOR A GREAT JOB."

Emergency services offered

"They considered my job an emergency because the tree was resting on my fence and storage building. They gave me a quote on one day and was able to get the job done the very next day. They were not pushy at all and were very professional and communicated to let me know that they actually started early. When the job was completed it they sent me pictures. The tree was Cedar so there were lots of branches and needles. My yard was SO clean when they finished, you couldn't even tell what kind of tree was cleared and that was ever a tree on the fence or storage building. I never expected that my yard would be so cleared, this was not an easy job but they got it done quickly and answered any questions I had. I recommend them with no reservations."

Customers say: True professional

"Everything was done in a professional manner including cutting as well as cleaning up debris. The entire crew were very professional and polite. My 4 year old grandson came to watch and he enjoyed watching the men doing dangerous jobs, but also doing it safely. The crew impressed my neighbor, who has also hired them to cut down a tree on their property. I will definitely hire them again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

Some trees, such as silver maples, birches, sycamores, and scotch pines, shed their bark naturally. If your tree is not one that does this, it might have fallen prey to pests, fungi, or diseases. It could also simply be suffering from an extreme weather change, such as a snowstorm or heat wave. If you’re still stumped, consulting with a pro can help you diagnose your tree’s specific problem.

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years.
