"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."

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

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.
