"I've worked with many tree companies over decades of home ownership, Hyler is my favorite. Greg Hyler and team were an absolute pleasure to work with from start-to-finish. A skilled, experienced, and very friendly team. They took down difficult trees that could have easily caused damage to the yard with total skill, climbing when needed, dropping when it made the most sense, and doing their work with respect to the yard and surroundings. They showed-up right when they said they would (day and time), the estimating process was a breeze, and the cost was extremely reasonable."

"After decades of home ownership and working with tree companies, Hyler Tree Service is the best team I have worked with and could not be happier with them. We had a number of trees that needed to be taken down, trimming, and removal of some bushes. Greg Hyler, company owner, was a pleasure to deal with from estimate-to-finish and tremendous experience. He openly shares his knowledge without selling which is a huge plus. Communication was outstanding as was timeliness, cost, and skill. Greg and the team are exceptionally friendly and skilled. They climbed trees when needed and dropped others when it made sense and worked to avoid yard/nearby tree/shrub damage which is rare as yard/shrub damage is often a hidden cost with tree work. Everything about their work was fast, friendly, efficient, experienced, professional, and reasonable."

"It's not often that someone truly impresses me, but this young man did exactly that. From the very beginning, his professionalism, communication, and business sense stood out. He carries himself with a level of maturity well beyond his years. His crew did an outstanding job trimming my trees and left my property spotless when they were finished. The cleanup was just as impressive as the work itself, and he kept me informed throughout the entire process. I've been in sales for over 10 years and have worked alongside many seasoned professionals, yet I've met very few who demonstrate the level of professionalism, follow-through, and customer service that he does. He has an incredibly bright future ahead of him. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work, excellent communication, and someone who truly takes pride in what they do."

"I had a large oak tree removed from beside my house. They had only about 20 feet to work with. They removed large limbs slowly to the ground between shrubbery a n did not damage any of them. I watched in amazement of how accurately they were. They were professional, friendly, price competitive an knew what they were doing. Also cleaned up nicely. I highly recommend them!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

Burning a tree stump can be effective, but it comes with safety considerations and isn’t always best for every situation. It's essential to check local regulations and assess the safety risks involved. Stumps that are near wooden structures or other non-moveable flammable objects aren’t good candidates for burning due to the risk of the fire spreading. Alternatives like grinding or a DIY stump rotting project might be safer and quicker for getting the job done.
