"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 this David from El Toro. They were very reasonable with their pricing and provided a clear, written estimate upfront, which I really appreciated. The team was able to schedule the work for the very next day, and they showed up on time ready to go. They worked efficiently and professionally throughout the entire job, and everything was completed exactly as promised. The cleanup afterward was thorough, leaving my property looking great. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and professional tree service."

"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."

"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! 🌳👍"

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

Not every arborist climbs trees, but most will do so if that’s the best method for assessing or treating a tree. Arborists have a variety of tree climbing gear and safety equipment to choose from when climbing trees. Consult your local arborist about their tree-climbing plan if your service requires that type of task.
