"Mark and his crew did a great job on several trees on our property. They were fast, efficient and did a thorough clean-up after the work. They were sensitive to our 100+ year old white oaks when climbing them. Their prices are fair and reasonable. We will definitely use them again. Martin & Sallye Fox Fairview, NC"

"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."

"We’ve had the pleasure of working with Isak and High Lonesome Timber several times now at a couple of different homes over the last few years. Isak and his team have done excellent work every time, they’re professional, courteous, work safely and clearly have a thoughtful approach to their craft. I worked as a general contractor for 20 years so I’ve had the opportunity to work with a lot of subcontractors in my life and Isak and team are truly top-notch. I would definitely recommend High Lonesome Timber to anyone looking for tree trimming or tree removal services."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Your local government is usually in charge of pruning trees on public property, and the power company is responsible for trees near power lines (even if they’re on your property). Whether or not they top these trees depends on their approach to pruning. You won’t be able to do much to control this, but you can contact them to find out more about their pruning process.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

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.

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.
