Customers say: True professional

"Everything about hiring this team was “TOP DRAWER! Spoke by phone and owner/estimater came next day, gave good quotes with optionality for removing a large Ash tree, two smaller trees and cutting down 7 or 8 branches in various other trees by hand. Day after that 4 huge trucks with tons of equipment and a team of 5-6 guys (including two of the owners sons) showed up at 9:30am and worked their @sses off all day doing exactly what they promised, including stump grinding and protecting surrounding trees and hauling it all off. Near the end, a guy climbed three or four of my trees like a raccoon assisted by someone on the ground to rappel him etc. to trim limbs. I couldn’t be happier with this job and the whole experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

"Some of the crew members of Forever Green are the children and former workers of a now retired Tree God who had been taking care of all things tree related since I was a child. These kids, now adults, were taught not just tree knowledge, but tree science. All pruning encourages growth, so if a tree is trimmed improperly or viciously assaulted with a chain saw by an untrained landscaper, the tree will escalate its growth, become massively top-heavy, severely damaged, and become dangerous to itself and your property and home. Forever Green knows how much or how little should be removed to help the tree to thrive and also satisfy power line requirements and homeowner concerns. They have slimmed my quite majestic Gum Tree when it was damaged by high winds and heavy downpours so that it doesn’t become prone to further damage if that weather pattern repeats itself. The second time we called them was to cut down two 60-ft dead Spruce trees that had the dreaded Spruce disease where they turn into skeletons. One was very close to the house. I don’t know how they did it, but the areas were left practically spotless. Just know if Forever Green is on your property, they can be trusted to do an incredibly skilled job, a very neat job, and it will be done the right way for the ultimate health of your landscape. Thank you, Tree God."

"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 had an excellent experience with Tomahawk Trees! They were reasonably priced, efficient, friendly, and very professional. I called on a Tuesday, and Jim, the owner, came out the very next day to look at what needed to be done. We discussed everything, and just two days later, on Thursday, they came out and took care of everything. The whole process was quick and easy from start to finish. I highly recommend Tomahawk Trees and would definitely use them again! 🌳👍"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.

Yes, many services include stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and improve aesthetics.

If you don’t trim your palm trees, you can expect several negative outcomes, including:

  • Unhealthy palm trees attract pests, diseases, and fungi 

  • Dead falling fronds can cause severe injury or damage to your home, pedestrians, or cars

  • Dead palm branches are flammable and can catch fire, especially during a lightning storm

There are several signs that may indicate a tree needs to be cut down. These include visible damage to the trunk or branches, a hollow trunk, extensive storm damage, or a significant lean to one side. Other warning signs are pest infestations or the tree growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures. It is best to hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree, as they can determine if it can be saved or if removal is necessary.

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.
