"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."

"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."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.

Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.

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.

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations.
