"I hired. NPC 3 Services to remove three trees that were damaged during a recent storm. Lisa came out on a Wednesday and by that Friday Nick and his crew were on site. They did an outstanding job, were early, professional, know what they are doing. Very impressed with the cleanup also. Very Happy with NPC 3. Outstanding job."

"I had Travis grind stumps for me and loam and reseed the area afterward. He was very accommodating, punctual, and polite. He did wonderful work, even spreading the wood chips, creating a lovely path in the woods. I would highly recommend their services!"

"Had a 140 ft tall pine, next to my deck. One tree service turned down the job as too risky. Another wanted thousands. Limb & Log handled the issue professional and miraculously. They pay attention to details and explain everything as they go. Great price. Awesome results."

"Roger called me on Sunday, offered a free estimate and brought the needed equipment without any obligation. The pricing was very reasonable. We asked Roger to proceed with the work, which was accomplished faster than I could have imagined. One stump was very difficult as the tree had grown over a very large rock, but Roger managed it very competently. The wood chips were moved to a location of our choosing. How rare to have someone call, come to an appointment on time, provide a professional service all on the same day. Thank you Roger!"

"After a wind storm , a large pine tree fell in our yard, blocking the driveway. I call Bull Pine Tree service. They showed up, after a full day of work, friendly and willing to help. They cleared my driveway, neatly stacked the branches and logs to be picked up later. When they returned they removed the tree and all branches and even raked up the yard!! This is a very professional company with the experience to get these jobs done at a fair price. I appreciate a company that goes above and beyond! You canâ t go wrong with Jon and his crew, Iâ d definitely hire them again!!"

"From my first visit with Arborist Jason through their completion of cutting and removing nine trees on my property and several more on my neighbor's property in addition to tree trimming, it was professional and first class throughout the process. What I saw was a company that just doesn't drop trees; they remove them with care and safety in mind. The entire crew was friendly and the equipment they use, starting with their huge crane to get at those tall and difficult location trees, was without a doubt one of the most impressive sights I've witnessed. The whole neighborhood seemed to come out and watch. It was pure "Art". Simply put. Timber Falls is Top Notch. I definitely was very impressed. And, No! I'm not getting anything for writing this review. This is simply sharing information about a company I was very happy with. Get a quote from them and experience the professionalism yourself. You won't be disappointed."

"Company was swift in responding to my job alert, following morning! Worker came two days later and gave me and excellent quote and said he would be by Monday. Monday morning I waited with baited breath and sure enough job was done by 11am. I am not used to such customer service. YES, I recommend this company and will be calling them for future jobs."

"Pete and his crew took on quite the project for us. We had a Boston Common brick front walkway installed to replace the awful existing cobblestone one. A rotted platform under our back porch was torn up and replaced with a matching Boston Common patio. They also touched up some of the landscaping around the yard such as the mulch beds, removed/replaced a few ugly/dead bushes and plants and installed a beautiful granite mailbox post. I wish I could post before and after pictures to this review because it's impossible to describe how great it all came out. It was quite the series of projects - it really transformed the look of the property completely. Not only does it have significantly more curb appeal, but the cash I spent for the work will generate a nice return on the property value. Overall I'm very glad they took on this project for me, the results speak for themselves."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

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%.

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind.
