"Words can not describe how happy I am to have chosen Squirrels as my tree service ..I had 4 HUGE trees def over 100ft tall and weighing over 10k lbs ..the 4 man crew worked from early morning to late afternoon ..some trees were in between electrical wires cable and literally hanging over my roof (which was the main reason I had them cut bc of winter storms approaching)) they worked continuously…and all had to be cut manually bc there was no access to any of my trees bc of the incline my house is situated on ..therefore no cranes could be used ..they cut manually and lugged everything manually down the inclined driveway ..2 days of hard work and always being so polite and attentive ! After all was said and done they cleaned all the debris too ! I highly recommend them and will be using them for one big oak tree this upcoming spring ..they were the best and so reasonably priced ! Highly recommend!"

"We had a tree come down in a storm a couple of years back, I'ma be honest it's been a little while. That was 2 or 3 years ago. They did a phenomenal job. They cleaned up, almost cleaned up too well. We wanted them to leave more granite for the fireplace and stuff like that I had to tell them "Wait, don't shred them all" but they were very kind about setting things aside, dusting main pieces of wood that we wanted to keep for our fireplace and getting rid of everything else. They tidied up beautifully. They worked very fast. I don't know how many helpers they had, but they were really quick. It was a part of a tree that a lightning bolt took off the top, almost half. The tree forked about 20 ft above the ground and the lightning took off one of the two halves of the tree. Unfortunately, a little bit of it hit the roof of the house and punched a hole about the size of your fist into and got that patched up. The people did a phenomenal job getting what was on the lawn of the lawn. They showed up on time, right away. They were top notch."

"A tree fell during a storm on 9/12 and was blocking the street in front of my house. I reached NJTS first thing in the morning.  Rich visited approximately an hour and a half after my call, gave me a reasonable estimate to remove the fallen tree (part of which was still standing), and gave me another quote for trimming other trees while the crew was here. I accepted and the crew came after another hour and a half and worked through the afternoon (approximately five hours, including a lunch break). They seemed good at their work and were efficient and cleaned up well after themselves. They were also careful during the removal of the branches to avoid hurting the bamboo that the branches fell on (something I asked Rich to ask the crew). The company website states that the company accepts credit cards, but Rich failed to tell me that if I used one to pay, I would be charged an additional 3%.  The website does not state that fact either. I was only told that fact when I called the office in order to pay the bill.  That is my main complaint about the service, otherwise I would recommend this company.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.
