"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."

"This company is easy to work with. They are very professional and respond quickly to requests for quotes. Though I have used this company in the past and was pleased with the work - I still showed due diligence and obtained other quotes from other companies for the same job. Sage price is industry standard - falling right in the middle of my highest and lowest quotes. The tipping point in my decision was that I trust the expertise of Sage when it comes to tree service. The company - from office to field staff, are top notch. I'm pleased with the quality of the work performed and the clean-up by the crew.

"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!"

"Our oak tree is very large and is located next to our garage and close to our neighbors property so it is not easy to maneuver equipment in that space. There were several dead branches high up that needed to be removed. The elm tree in the front of our house needed branches trimmed that were touching the house. They arrived on time and did an excellent job. They were very careful not to cause any damage to our house, garage and shrubs. They removed all debris and cleaned the entire area. They even removed previously felled dead branches from the roof of our garage. We are extremely happy with their work and would definitely use their services again and recommend them. Our trees look great!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A tree branch should start to form roots in about three months. It can take about a year for a tree branch to develop roots strong enough to go in the ground. For best results, start several branches because, no matter how closely you follow instructions, they won’t all form roots. Compost any that aren’t thriving.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

You should not trim an oak tree in the summer. Oak trees are especially susceptible to disease, and open tree wounds are an invitation for beetles that carry tree-killing fungus. If there’s no risk that the oak tree will do damage to your property or hurt someone, it’s best to save the trimming for fall or winter. If you can, seal the wound with latex to prevent fungus from getting inside.

Many consider the Fraser fir to be the most popular type of Christmas tree, but which type of tree sells out near you can depend on region and decorating trends that year. For example, the Leyland cypress is especially popular in the Southeast, according to the National Christmas Tree Association.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.
