"They came on time, explained what was to be done (I had met with their arborist prior to this -- so it was confirmation of the excavation, removal and planting), they worked very hard, took care to protect my lawn, cleaned everything up on my property and around the house -- all in record time. By 2:30 pm, I had five large trees that gave me the privacy and beauty I had been dreaming of in my backyard. The next day I put in plantings and it looks like everything has been there for years. It was one of the few projects around my house that turned out better than I even imagined. We had uses Friendly Tree for trimming and removal of trees -- now that I know they plant trees as well, they will be my go to resource for all my tree needs."

"Judith came onsite to survey the trees we wanted trimmed; she provided a firm estimate for our review; and upon agreement to go ahead with the work -- two days later the Nature Services team of four workers got to work to get the trees trimmed. They took care of surrounding plants; branches and trimmings were mulched; and areas cleaned from debris. They were prompt, efficient, quick, and very professional. Will recommend to family and friends."

"Our oak tree is very large and is located next to our garage and close to our neighbors property so it is not easy to maneuver equipment in that space. There were several dead branches high up that needed to be removed. The elm tree in the front of our house needed branches trimmed that were touching the house. They arrived on time and did an excellent job. They were very careful not to cause any damage to our house, garage and shrubs. They removed all debris and cleaned the entire area. They even removed previously felled dead branches from the roof of our garage. We are extremely happy with their work and would definitely use their services again and recommend them. Our trees look great!"

"He does the BEST tree service! Your tree looks beautiful when he is done, and he doesn't use spikes that damage the tree. He doesn't smash your shrubs and his crew cleans up perfectly. I was thrilled that his quote was the LOWEST, because I had a bad experience with 1 terrible tree service that I used last year (I thought they were the cheapest, but they were simply the worst. ) in the end, JCR had the lowest quote, and the best service! Plus, Jose knows trees, enjoys the work, and is very honest. I have had a lot of tree work done before and have definitely found the best company now."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.

Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning how to get rid of regrowing tree roots is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.
