"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."

"We hired Krause Family Arborist to cut down 10 dead trees in our yard. From my first contact with Ben I knew I had hired the right company. His communications with us was great. They worked for 3 days and were always on time. Great friendly crew and fun watching how amazing they were and precise at taking down the trees without damaging anything else. They cleaned up the yard and left no mess. Their pricing was great compared to other quotes we got. I would HIGHLY recommend this company if you have a need for their services."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

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.

Trimming a tree can take anywhere from just two hours to a full day, depending on the age of the tree, the number of trees, and the species. Young trees are generally easier to trim, as their branches are often thinner in diameter and easier to reach compared to mature trees. They also tend to be healthier. If you haven’t trimmed your trees before or it’s been a while, the process could take even longer.

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task. 

While the trees in your backyard are good for the environment and look beautiful, they could present a danger to your home under the wrong circumstances. This task is typically beyond the capabilities of the average homeowner due to its dangerous nature, so it’s best to leave this task to a professional. In some cities, it’s even illegal to remove a tree yourself.
