"Came out the next day to give a quote. Quote was very reasonable (it was a large yard with multiple stumps) and we scheduled the work for the following Monday. Showed up on time and had the whole lot done in only a few hours. Even offered to come back and knock the stumps down more if necessary after I get the yard graded. 5 stars would recommend and use again."

"We looked at four companies and choose Joseph because his quote was the most reasonable and he seems to be the most honest and knowledgable. We were not disappointed. His crew arrived on time and expertly removed four large trees and ground all the stumps, including all exposed roots. To do the job, the crew had to uproot part of our fence. Once done, they put it back in better condition. The crew was courteous and polite and did an outstanding job. We could not be happier. We highly recommend this company."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

There are several signs that may indicate a tree needs to be cut down. These include visible damage to the trunk or branches, a hollow trunk, extensive storm damage, or a significant lean to one side. Other warning signs are pest infestations or the tree growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures. It is best to hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree, as they can determine if it can be saved or if removal is necessary.

For Bradford pears, damage from storms is common, and if the trunk splits, it can pose a danger to people and surrounding structures. The best thing to do in that instance is to have the tree removed. If there’s only minor damage to the branches, pruning away the damaged parts is the first order of business. You may also want to consult a professional arborist to make sure the tree is healthy.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

Planting a palm tree close to your home can provide shade while elevating the beauty of your yard. However, there are a few safety concerns to consider before doing so. You’ll want to opt for a smaller tree with a non-invasive root system. Select a species that won’t grow too tall and choose a planting location that won’t damage your home.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.
