"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!"

"We needed 4 very large trees on our property removed. Julio was extremely accommodating, as we were late getting back to our house for the estimate meeting. He was very knowledgeable, and was very detailed in his estimate. The pricing was also extremely competitive. We only ended up having two of the trees dropped, but the work was impeccable. Julio and his team were punctual, extremely well prepared and very professional. Both trees, stumps and all of the wood were removed in one day, and the cleanup was excellent. We are extremely satisfied with the work and will almost definitely contract them again in the future."

"Avery Tree Service arrived with 6 workers and worked on different areas at once so that they got so much done in only a few hours. Jeff surveyed our property and made recommendations regarding the health and stability of our trees. We agreed on which to cut and which to trim. They worked quickly and efficiently and cleaned up the mess very nicely. They will be returning in the fall to trim more trees. 
Our experience was extremely positive and professional. 
We would recommend them to anyone looking for fast and efficient tree service and will definitely use them again in the future. "

"Went great. The owner seemed very knowledgeable about trees. Best of all, the limbs on the ground and little pieces of limbs were cleaned up off the ground very well, unlike our previous experience with some high-end arborists."

"Trevor and Jeff were extremely efficient and hard workers. One of the log splitters malfunctioned on the first day, and they still completed as much as they could on the first day, and completed the job on the second day, no extra travel fee etc... Everything was left perfect and I didn't have to do a thing. I would definitely hire them again in the future if we take down more trees."

"Rob called me right away and discussed problem on the phone (trees that mean a great deal to us were dropping tons of needles and in distress). The next day he accurately diagnosed the problem, which he determined is not insects or disease, and treated them with fertilizer. He also recommended a tree expert to address the other part of the problem that he could not, the need for trimming some large trees that are adjacent. The tree expert he recommended turned out to exceptional too! Robs' services have helped. Our precious Blue Atlas Cedars are looking better already. We are impressed. When he returned a month later to apply the second round of treatment, we hired him to aerate and over- seed our lawn. That is now looking great too. Rob is a pro you can trust."

"We had several other
companies give estimates over the course of a week, but they were unable
to do the work in the short time span with which we had to work. Greg
was able to take down two trees quickly and for a reasonable price. 0
Friendly, professional, and safety conscious. Highly recommend Double Tree Services  !

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

Pruning can impact cold hardiness—but it’s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don’t want to prune trees when there’s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it’s pruned.

A tree can split because of high winds, a change in temperature, or from an infestation or tree disease. All of these factors can overlap, making a single cause difficult to pinpoint. While winter storms are some of the most common causes for a tree to split, it can also happen because of termites or rot.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.
