"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."

"My neighbors tree fell onto my fence and damaged it. I hired Browns Stump Removal to fix it. Jim had the job done in a matter of 2 days. He also checked and replaced other loose boards on the remaining fence and noticed I did not have a handle for the gate. He added the gate handle. Customer service was great! Also, I would like to note, everything was done via phone and me personally having to be on-site was not necessary. Highly recommend."

"Terra removed 3 large and challenging trees for us as well as additional tree trimming plus stump grinding. The crew was hardworking, professional and experienced. They went above and beyond what we asked them to do and they cleaned up behind themselves like true professionals. I’ll never need to call another company for future tree service."

""I highly recommend Bobby from 'Stump Guys' for any outdoor project. From the very start, his pricing was completely fair and transparent with no hidden surprises. He showed up exactly when he said he would, which is hard to find these days.Bobby went above and beyond the basic job requirements. He was incredibly conscientious about my property, taking extra care not to leave a mess and ensuring everything looked spotless before he left. His professionalism, communication, and work ethic are top-notch. I will absolutely use his services again!""

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

The recovery time for pruning depends on how much you prune, the species of tree, and how well you care for it afterward. All trees grow new wood and often sprout additional branches after pruning. Ideally, trees should recover from normal pruning after one or two years. Heavy pruning or slow-growing trees may take several years to fully recover.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

Ensures complete removal and mitigates risks of underground root damage.
