"I used Martinez Tree Service many years ago when a massive 80 ft high Oak in my front yard began to die and was leaning toward my neighbor's home. Their work was extremely efficient, thorough, and amazing to watch as they climbed from one section to another like they lived in giant trees all their lives. Jose is the main climber and he was all over that tree, tying off large limbs, power sawing at seemingly impossible heights. When another large Oak in my backyard began to die a few years ago, becoming hollow inside and losing bark, I tried to find them online but did not save their name or contact information. I tried other companies, but the difficulty of the job scared all of them away (the tree was dead, hollow inside, up against a neighbor's stockade fence, very close to a decorative brick well and a 2 room workshop at the back of my property, and inaccessible by crane). Another landscaper recommended the Martinez brothers. They responded the next day, Ishmael Martinez met for an estimate the day after that, and were at the house with Jose ready to climb the next morning, bright and early. efficient, on time and extremely thorough. I would hire them in a heartbeat next time. This time, Iâ m saving their contact information in a special location"

"Did a great job removing a dying/dead 60 year old oak tree. The tree was within 25 feet of the house (and overhanging the roof) and the crew exercised care.so as to avoid any damage to structures or surrounding landscaping. They even cut up the branches into a usable size (for use in my fireplace), and stacked the firewood for me."

"We had a tree in the front yard that was very large. We had hoped to save it. The arborist from SavATree tried to think of a way to save it, but in the end the only option was to take it down. The team that came to do the work was careful and professional. They took the tree down and chipped it on site. Great work!"

"Can’t say enough about the excellent work Pat and his crew from Wildlife Tree and Landscaping did on and around my property. Prompt and courteous, Pat and his team removed and ground the stumps of two very tall (75+ft) problematic trees that were right on the fence line. They trimmed two others, and cut a beautiful mulch bed for a cherry tree in my front yard. After, they put Topsoil, penn mulch, and seed down where needed. If I need tree service and major landscaping done in the future, I won’t go to anyone else."

"Atlantic tree experts gave us the best price out of several companies, and their customer service was the best we’ve experienced. They had a very difficult task of removing a 100ft+ oak tree that was technically split into two different trees and was very close to my home. They put down plywood on our lawn to ensure it wouldn’t leave divots, and they had to maneuver their crane carefully over power lines. They worked in tight quarters and pulled it off with ease. We will definitely be using them for future tree removal/trimming projects. Thank you!"

Arborists questions, 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%.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

Steer clear of the area and contact your utility company immediately. It will have a website portal and/or a phone number to report downed trees and electrical issues. If the tree appears to be on public land, you may want to call your local government and report the issue there, too.

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.

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.
