"Judith came onsite to survey the trees we wanted trimmed; she provided a firm estimate for our review; and upon agreement to go ahead with the work -- two days later the Nature Services team of four workers got to work to get the trees trimmed. They took care of surrounding plants; branches and trimmings were mulched; and areas cleaned from debris. They were prompt, efficient, quick, and very professional. Will recommend to family and friends."

"The job as promised went very well at a reasonable price. They worked efficiently & safely cutting down 80 feet tall tree & cleanly trimmed other surrounding trees. They cut the trees into firewood & stacked it neatly in my backyard. They gave me a nice chopping board (from their previous job site) which they screwed into a tree trunk they cut from my backyard which they carried onto my deck. Looking at it, it can be use as a chopping board when grilling or a bistro table- cant wait to use it in one of our bbq parties. The crew left my yard cleaner than when they came in. Alex the owner stayed on site the whole time working with his crew and making sure safety is maintained. Overall, Im very satisfied with their work & will not hesitate to hire him again. Thank you Alex and to your amazing crew!"

"The tree looks great now! This company was GREAT! Frankie - the owner  called me multiple times to arrange a time we could look over the job. He came and looked the job over gave me a very reasonable estimate. He saw I was on a tight budget and offered me different options to try and get the most important work done within my budget. The crew came at exactly the time they said they would - they called first to be sure i was there- and worked efficiently and totally cleaned up beyond my expectations! The tree loks great now!

"They did several things. The biggest takeaway is that this is professional establishment that gets the work done impeccably the first time around. The arborist is the real deal. It's not his side hustle. He only sent workers who respected me and my property. They made my middle income yard look like it belongs to homes three times the value. Nothing but a positive experience in every way."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The costs vary from $250 to $5,000 per tree, depending on the size, complexity of the trimming, and labor.

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). 

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.
