"Experienced and knowledgeable crew. Worked fast and efficient. Let us know exactly what they were going to do and how they were going to do it. Asked how we wanted certain things done before they did it and also gave us options to some of our plans. Very, very fair price. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for any type of tree work."

He was polite, professional, and very reasonable. That was a Saturday morning and by Monday mid-morning, I had 13 stumps removed off of our property! We were very pleased with the efficiency and reasonable prices Mr. Morrisey provided to us. Would hightly recommend this company!"

Small jobs welcome

"Yes, i hired Timber Wolf Forestry. They were excellent in ensuring they were able to clear tree limbs based on legal lines. This should help stop flying squirrels reaching our attic. They were timely, removed all debris. It was extremely hot, smoke drifting from west. I would recommend Timber Wolf Forestry."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they’re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.

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.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.
