"Greg came out and gave us a great quote for trees we needed removed. He was out a little over a week later to do the work. He and his crew were very courteous and hard workers. They removed 26 leyland cypress trees for me in a very precarious location with ease. We even had them add in another tree and they got all of them down in one day and came back the following morning to clean up and get the rest of the tree trunks. I will recommend this company to anyone and everyone. Actually am giving them another reference today. Great work Greg, wife and crew!!! Thank you for doing such great work in a short amount of time for a great price."

"Very satisfied with A's! I live in Elmont, and was looking for estimates to remove 7 very large trees, a few smaller trees, grind the stumps on all but 2 of them, and was given a very reasonable price for the work. I scheduled the work about a week in advance, and on the scheduled day, the 6-person crew showed up and got busy right away. It took about 6 hours for them to complete the job, and when they were done, the trees and stumps were gone, the property was adequately cleaned up, as was the debris in the street. I should also mention that 2 of the large trees were not easily accessible, but A's brought them down with precision, even while working in tight quarters. I really can not thank and compliment A's enough for a job well done, and do highly recommend them for any tree work you may have."

"I highly recommend Hyler Tree Service. Greg and his team showed up on time and did a great job. They cut down and removed 3 trees behind my home and also removed a tree that fell onto my neighbors yard. He worked to do minimal damage to my yard, and his teams clean-up was very good. His charge to do all the work was honest and reasonable. His wife Mindy called quickly to set up an appointment for the quote and also returned my call quickly when I left a message. If I ever need tree service again, I will call Hyler Tree Service."

"We had 5 large trees removed from property, several very close to the house. One was a 110' high poplar with branches hanging over the house. We had several different companies quote, and Samuel from Sweet Carolina Tree Care was the only one that said he could remove the trees without damaging all the nice dogwoods and smaller trees growing under the canopy. He delivered exactly what he promised, with no damage to the other foliage, fencing, or house. It was quite impressive seeing them use a zip line to remove large branches from the top of the tree next to the house. He cut them and they flew right over the other trees landing in the back yard on the zip line. I would highly recommend him. Showed up on time each day. Ensured I was happy before payment. Honest fair pricing, highly competent work."

"I had Guardian Stone to remove 5 large overgrown pine trees from the property line. They did an excellent job. All of the smaller limbs were ground up into mulch, which I had them to leave for use around different areas at my home. They hauled off all of the larger pieces, racked and cleaned the yard. I would highly recommend Guardian Stone for any tree service that you might need."

"It's not often that someone truly impresses me, but this young man did exactly that. From the very beginning, his professionalism, communication, and business sense stood out. He carries himself with a level of maturity well beyond his years. His crew did an outstanding job trimming my trees and left my property spotless when they were finished. The cleanup was just as impressive as the work itself, and he kept me informed throughout the entire process. I've been in sales for over 10 years and have worked alongside many seasoned professionals, yet I've met very few who demonstrate the level of professionalism, follow-through, and customer service that he does. He has an incredibly bright future ahead of him. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work, excellent communication, and someone who truly takes pride in what they do."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.

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.

Yes, it is highly recommended to remove tree stumps. Leaving them in the ground can lead to several problems, as they are not only unsightly but can also reduce your property's value. Stumps can obstruct landscaping plans, make mowing difficult, and hinder new growth. More importantly, they are prime breeding grounds for pests like termites, ants, and mice, which can spread to your home and cause costly damage to its wood and foundation. Stumps also attract fungi and diseases that can infect other healthy trees and plants in your yard. As a stump decays, it might sprout new, unwanted shoots. While removing a stump is an investment, it prevents these potential issues and enhances the safety, health, and appearance of your landscape.

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.
