Customers say: Terrific value

Prime Time Tree Services is your locally-owned and operated tree service specialist, dedicated to providing Lincoln, NE and surrounding areas with the best service to ensure the health, safety and appearance of all the trees on your property. We have over 30 years of combined experience. You can know that your trees are taken care of by a skilled professional, who knows what they are doing. We are certified Arborists, with continued education on staff.

"I got a few quotes for removal of a tree in my backyard and Jay’s was the best one. Jay was very kind and kept to his word on starting the project on the agreed upon day. I was quoted one day to remove an oak tree that had been there for well over 60 years. Jay and his team also trimmed a tree in my front yard. That being said, I have two dogs and a fence had to be taken down which is why the singular day to remove and clean up was important. Day one, they trimmed the limbs and said they needed to go to another job down the street and they’d be back the next day to finish. Four days later (rain impacted finishing the job on two days) I requested to at least have the fence up. All in all it took a week to go from start to finish. If time and fences were not of concern I would give the company five stars. They effectively removed the tree and ground the stump out."

"The work was done at my mother's home in Nebraska. The estimate was very fair. Jay was honest in telling us that some of the work we were considering was not necessary and not worth the money. The work was performed expeditiously, and the clean-up was excellent. We would definitely use Christiansen Tree Service again."

I have been growing trees and shrubs for over 10 years in southeast nebraska after graduating with a horticulture degree. I have planted thousands of deciduous and evergreen potted, balled and burlapped and tree spaded trees and was actually raised on a tree farm. Whether you need a windbreak, privacy screen, shade, ornamental value or more curb appeal. Feel confident I'm your one to do the job correctly the first time, and also, saving money at the same time by buying directly from the grower.

"Great. Our trees and yard have never looked better. He truly has the magic touch."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Using a drill to bore holes in the stump's center speeds up the process, whatever method you use. If you don’t have a drill, you can still chainsaw or chisel the stump to make it hollow; it will just take more elbow grease and time. Steer clear of burning the stump to hollow it if you can’t drill some holes in it first. Otherwise, getting it to light, stay lit, and burn right through will be a challenge.

Large, established tree branches won’t grow roots, but if you find a young tree branch that’s less than about a year old, you’ve got a shot. Put it in water or soil as soon as possible for best results. You’ll know the branch is viable if it’s about the thickness of a pencil and has some leaves or needles.

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.

Sudden oak death and oak wilt are different diseases. Oak wilt first shows up in tree leaves while sudden oak death affects the branches and trunk. However, as symptoms in both can overlap, it’s best to consult a professional arborist tree expert for a proper diagnosis and development of a treatment plan.

If you don’t cut down a dead, dying, or diseased tree, it can become a nesting place for pests like mosquitos, bees, beetles, wasps, fly larvae, and more. Some pests will live in the tree, while others will feed off the decaying wood. Unhealthy trees are also more likely to fall over, potentially injuring people and causing damage to your property.
