"Outstanding company! Can't say enough about them. They responded quickly to our request and showed up when they said they would. Corey was exceptional and so nice. The crew took two days to down a huge holly tree and big pine. We highly recommend them not only for the professional job but also the price was very reasonable. Will definitely call them in the future for any services needed!"

"We purchased an older home. The lot needed trees cut down and others trimmed. Both very large and medium tree sizes. These folks work very hard and safely. Well mannered and just a very nice family man. He showed up on time and the quality of work was outstanding. We will use him again soon. Very reasonable prices and no need hidden cost.

"Very reliable Contractor. HONEST, TRUSTWORTHY, sends pictures of Work PROGRESS, We live FAR from Kill Devil Hills so having a contractor like this means the world to us. HE has worked for us now for 25 YEARS. If you are wondering what kind of work this man does just drive by 1717 Bay Dr. KDH. He oversees Electrical work, plumbing work, a new concrete drive way, & Checks on our place. Keeps a key to our place. Michael is THE MOST DEPENDABLE CONTRACTOR at the OBX !!! If he does not do a good job for you I'll EAT MY HAT !!! HE IS A JACK OF ALL TRADES!"

"I live in a rural area and it is extremely difficult to find reliable and responsible yard and home improvement help. It was such a sigh of relief to actually work with someone who is honest, fair and has a good work ethic! I have a large yard that is sloped and bordering woods that was very overgrown with brambles and saplings that was bush hogged, my two story house gutters were cleaned and two small trees were cut down and debris removed- all on the same day while I was at work. I have to say I was a little nervous about what I might find, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality of the work done was everything that I had hoped it would be and I already have plans and estimates on more things that need to be done around my home and yard.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes.

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Since overwatering can harm mature trees just as much as a lack of water, it’s important to know the signs of an overwatered tree. If your tree’s leaves are yellowing, wilting, or dropping leaves, it’s likely that you’re overwatering. Other common signs include rotting, fungi, soggy soil, soft or peeling bark, falling leaves, and brittle roots. 

If you realize that you’ve been overwatering your mature tree, stop watering and give the soil time to dry out. Then moving forward, increase time between watering sessions. 

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.
