"Very Professional and Intelligent, JP Tree Service and his crew are the best tree service this side North Eastern NC. I would highly recommend. When the job was completed you couldn't even tell there were trees previously there. Yard was completely clean and no debris was left behind. Amazing job. Hands down the best service I have ever experienced. ?????"

Customers say: Quick response

"I hired Morrissey Stump Grinding And Tree Service to tear down an old shed at my home in Camden, NC, and I couldn't be happier with the results. ​The crew was prompt, professional, and clearly knew what they were doing. They utilized a claw truck for the job, which made the demolition process super efficient and very impressive to watch. It’s rare to see that level of equipment and skill used so effectively. ​They did an amazing job and I honestly couldn't ask for better service. If you need demolition or tree work done in the Camden area, I highly recommend hiring them."

"Needed fencing installed to keep groundhogs from taking up residence under our deck. Brady came up with a creative and complete solution that made sure the varmints were out and would not return. Would use again."

"Yes, i hired Timber Wolf Forestry. They were excellent in ensuring they were able to clear tree limbs based on legal lines. This should help stop flying squirrels reaching our attic. They were timely, removed all debris. It was extremely hot, smoke drifting from west. I would recommend Timber Wolf Forestry."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.

If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.
