"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!!"

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."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

The cost of professional tree service, such as trimming, is $460 on average, but the price can range from $75 to $1,800. A more typical range is between $200 and $760. The final price depends on several factors, including the size and type of the tree. For example, trimming Crepe Myrtle trees costs an average of $80 to $400, while giant pine trees can range from $200 to $1,800. Other factors that influence the cost include the time of year, as services are often more expensive in the spring. Your location can also play a role; costs may be higher if you live in a remote area or if the tree is difficult to access. However, some professionals may offer a discount if you have multiple trees that need service.

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)

In most cases, your neighbor is responsible for roots from their tree that cause damage to your property. If your pavement, the foundation of your home, or a fence is damaged by roots from a neighbor’s tree, you likely will have legal recourse for financial relief. While it’s better to notify your neighbor of any problems you notice as soon as they arise to avoid costly damage, there are some instances where filing a civil suit is your only recourse. Your homeowner’s insurance company might wish to do so on your behalf if you file a claim.

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.
