"Sami came by when promised, gave a quote better than I expected, showed up on the date promised and the time promised! The whole project of 3 tree removals took less time than anticipated and they clean up very nicely. If needed, will definitely use again. I am impressed which hasn't happened with me in a long time. Thank you Sami's Tree Service."

"This is a great team. Good references and the owner came out to give me a quote. They were the least cost bid to take down 6 Ash trees and their work was flawless. A nice crew, affable, hard working and all in safety gear. They ground stumps, chopped up and removed all the wood I did not want to keep. We included some trimming and mulching which left the yard in top notch condition. I would do business with them again and highly recommend this company."

"I am very satisfied with RG tree service's professional and responsible work style, including the cleanup after tree felling. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to my friends. The wood chips were originally supposed to be left for us, but because of the poison ivy contamination, Raul promised to specially deliver them next time. Looking forward to it.. Thanks again RG!"

"We hired Sage landscaping to create a new backyard that involved clearing trees, regrading, and installing a retaining wall. From start to finish, I couldn't have been more pleased with the work and the end result. Ed Sage provided some very good advice in the design phase that really helped the project immensely in the end. The whole team that worked on the project was impressive and demonstrated a strong work ethic, competence, and a desire to do things the right way. No supervision needed, which is rare. I could completely trust the team. There were no slackers on the team and no one cutting corners. The whole team brought a "can-do" attitude which was a pleasure to deal with when changes were required from original project scope. They strived throughout to ensure that I was happy with the work. While Sage wasn't the cheapest upfront, I believe they were the best value given the quality of work delivered. I will certainly be using Ed and his team going forward for all my landscaping needs."

"I hired Central Jersey Tree Services to remove a tree from my backyard that had significant rot. Andrey was friendly, professional and gave me an excellent quote for this service. He was patient as I collected estimates from other companies and was able to schedule the job with the help of Michelle (who was lovely to communicate win) within days of my making a decision. His team arrived a bit early on the day of and took care of the job in about an hour. They were quick, clean and safe and impressive to watch at work. They even left us some firewood for our fire pit which should get us through the season. I highly recommend their services to anyone in the area needing tree work!"

"Samuel of QualityLawn removed 5 fallen trees from my property. He and his crew were diligent, hardworking and professional. During the estimate process, I expressed concern about his truck damaging my asphalt driveway. He took note and on the day of the job he left the truck on the street and used manual labor and small machinery to lug everything back to the street. He probably saved me thousands of dollars from avoiding asphalt damage. Beyond this, during execution of the job, Samuel was easy to work with and answered all my questions to insure everything was done to my satisfaction. He and his crew cleaned up everything and left the property immaculate. I would never hire anyone else but him for tree work. I wish he was closer to me because I would have hired him as my landscaper also!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Unlike some fruit trees, such as apple, sweet cherry, or pear that require at least two trees for pollination, most peach trees are self-pollinating. This means you can plant just one tree and still expect it to produce fruit, typically within two to four years. For best results, consult with a local landscaper to choose the right peach tree variety for your specific climate, soil type, and yard layout.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall. 

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%.
