"Grizzly Tree Service is the best. I highly recommend them for tree removal.. They are professional, fast, reliable, very neat and friendly. It took less than a week from my first phone call to have 4 large 80 year old trees removed and stumps ground down. Lots of caution was taken for the road and overhead wires. BEST PRICE and wonderful service is a great combination. I will definitely use them in the fall to plant new trees. My landscaper and neighbors all commented on what a fantastic job they did."

"I was in need of having a dead tree removed from my property. Yoos tree service was able to remove the tree on short notice and did an excellent job from start to finish. I asked that they do their best to not destroy plants around the tree and they were able to preserve them even when grinding the stump. They left my yard in great condition as if they were never there. Super friendly and knowledgeable crew; I'll definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.
