"Jay and Josh are amazing arborist! Jay remembered that he spoke with me when he previously worked with a local tree company and stop by to ask me if I still needed tree cut down when he started his own company. I referred them to my neighbors who needed some tree trimming also and my neighbors utilized there service were quite please also. Once again I was blown away with there professionalism and, experience, knowledge, and passion for what they do. These guys were efficient and cleaned up everything. They have fair pricing and don't gauche like other companies in the city. I will hire them over and over again."

"I would like to say that Max did a great job trimming our big elm tree and also removed a tree that was growing between to of our sheds. He was very pleasant to talk to and very careful with placing the brush on the ground. He had to deal with a power line in the process. I would recommend him to anyone needing trees trimmed or removed."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Professionals ensure safety, prevent property damage, and handle debris efficiently.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

Absolutely. These steps are significantly easier, too, especially when it comes to preserving the root ball and moving the palm tree. However, you will want to make sure the tree has plenty of fertilizer to establish itself and start growing. Supports may also be more important, as it can take extra time for a potted palm to spread out its roots. If you are transferring a palm to another pot, you’ll want to move up a size or two to a larger pot. Make sure the pot has excellent drainage to keep the palm from getting waterlogged.
