"Service was excellent; the arborists lived up to their name - friendly. The person who came out to quote the job was quick yet thorough and gave me some advice on some trees gratis (trees not part of the contract.) they arrived 30 minutes late - outside of a 12:00 to 2:00 window. But the quality work they did made up for that one glitch. I will definitely hire them again next time my trees beg for a clip and trim."

"Very pleased with entire process. Doug completed job as agreed and within required timeframe. We have quite a few more trees that will eventually come down and it's nice to know I do not have to shop around for a tree "guy". Will hire again."

"Hamletts Tree Service was top notch! Joe, the owner provided a fair estimate and got the work done in a timely fashion as stated at the time of estimate. His work was safe and clean up was impeccable. Highly recommend supporting this locally owned company for all your tree work!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

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.

Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.
