"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."

"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."

"Sam and his crew were able to schedule my job quickly and were punctual on the scheduled date. He has heavy duty professional equipment and a crew that knows how to get the job done efficiently and safely. Pains were taken to make sure the rest of my property was kept safe as the tree was methodically disassembled, and I never had a concern as the job progressed through to its perfect conclusion. I've got some future work that Sam and his professional, reliable crew will be contacted for and I look forward to leveraging Sam and his Qualitylawn Tree Service again. Dial up Sam and Qualitylawn Tree Service if you're looking for a worry-free, reasonably-priced experience."

"I wouldn't recommend them. The guys are very nice. They came, told me to call them back but how could  I wait till after the winter now and say, hey the grass never grew. And they are not really in the general vicinity I'd rather use someone close by that I don't have to worry whether they are going to come or not or whatever. They said, if you have any problems just call, we'll come back. I didn't see the grass grow and I figured its winter time, let me wait but it never grew. I would not use them again. It is not that they did anything wrong, maybe I should have called them back. They don't live in my area, they came from...somewhere by the beach I think. The price was fine. They were good on the price. The guys weren't nasty, they were very nice, they said to call but when I am paying them money and then my grass doesn't grow, it is odd. They were punctual. They were professional but... When I told them you didn't put the seeding here, they did it but why do I have to tell them, they should know their job. I think that I am going to find someone closer."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

Tree roots don’t necessarily break through concrete on their own, but they can certainly take advantage of existing cracks, even very small ones. As roots grow, they expand the cracks, making them larger and leading to serious and costly foundation damage. It’s a good idea to have repairs on any foundation cracks you’re concerned about.

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years.
