"I only needed to outlets replaced (or re-wired?) and on overhead fixture replaced in the laundry room. Frank knew just what I wanted with my mangled "electricalese" and took care of my problem. So pleased."

"Aaron was so polite and prompt and cleaned up more than he needed to. The tree stump was the flattest finish Iâ ve ever seen He knew exactly how to section the limbs for easy removal and all the branches fell where they didnâ t hit anything. I was very impressed with his work. I would hire him again and I will tell all my neighbors to use him as well."

"From the prompt call back, the initial meet which was right on schedule, the clear communication and expertise shared, to the quick turn around and getting the job done right, my wife and I couldn't be more pleased with the service provided by Dustin and his amazing crew. Friendly, fair and professional. Our new home has a much more beautiful yard now!They cut 2 dead trees, pulled several bushes and prettied up the rest! I'll be calling back when the trees bloom so we can make sure we got rid of all the dead stuff! Thanks again Dustin!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Yes, you should trim the lower branches of your maple tree for safety. Trimming maple trees as they grow helps lift the crown and canopy and trains it to grow straight up. A good rule of thumb is to prune enough branches to leave 6 feet of clearance under the tree.

Stay inside or well away until the storm passes. Don’t go outside to inspect the tree until the weather clears, especially if the tree is on a hill or isolated in a field. Lightning often strikes the same easily-accessed places multiple times, and you could be a new target. If a lightning strike causes a noticeable fire, alert emergency services. When the storm is over, take a closer look to gauge the damage done.

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.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.
