"The workmen showed up on time, were friendly, and did a great job removing my trees and cleaning up. Their fee was a very good price. I would recommend them and will use them again for other landscaping projects."

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!"

"Mike and all of his crew at Forever Green tree service are beyond amazing! They are professional, prompt, hard working, and very friendly. I have never seen or heard of a machine that can actually go over a house to cut down the trees in the back yard. I watched this amazing show from beginning to end. This hydraulic claw which looks a little like the claws in an arcade is moved over the house by Mike the owner. He has the controls in his hands. The claw grabs part of the tree and once in it's grip saws it off. Then Mike slowly brings that large part of the tree over the house and lays it in the yard. From there the shredder came, as Mike was cutting two other guys were shredding. These guys work in unison, everyone knows what to do and how to do it. This company is highly recommended !!! All the photos I took are too large for Angi's list except this one."

"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

The shepherd’s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over 230 feet deep. Some African communities refer to it as the “Tree of Life” since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.

Homeowners are usually not responsible for trees that fall on power lines. Power companies usually have utility easements around power lines, which give them the responsibility to maintain any trees within about 15 to 20 feet of the lines.

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.
