"I needed a large tree removed that was very close to my neighbors fence. The tree was removed and all debris cleaned up. It was done in a timely manner and at a great price. I would definitely recommend Figuemax and hire again."

"Removal of 6 shade trees was done professionally, on schedule, and importantly with no property damage. They followed all of the rules including having insurance and having me get a permit which my township needed. Only improvement could be communications. I would definitely use them again."

"I was in need of a professional Tree service due to a nice-sized branch falling onto my neighbor's walkway. Called a few services and decided to go with Taperia Tree Service after meeting Tony. My goal was to have the tree cut completely down. Tony and crew were able to come out the next day. It was very impressive to see the job completed in one day. They also did an excellent job of cleaning the work area (property and street). Taperia Tree Service will be the first call or recommendation if ever a tree service project is needed again. Trust me, this kind of project is best left to the professionals."

"Chris Cochran and CC Tree Expert Tree Services do amazing work, VERY neat and safe. They brought in a compact SpyderCrane, to access and remove trees in and behind my very narrow side yard. They removed these trees with surgical precision, avoiding any damage to my lawn, house, air conditioners, gutters, yard ornaments, deck furniture, and garage. Then, using a larger crane, they carefully removed a huge sidewalk tree entangled in multiple electrical lines. They honored their original quoted price to me, and they only charged me a nominal additional fee for extra stump grindings I requested AFTER the original quote. I had asked them to grind 2 preexisting stumps that were very close to the foundation of the house and to the garage, and I had not asked for a definite quote, because there was no way to know in advance how difficult this would be; but because Chris was so professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and experienced, I trusted him to charge me an honest price, which he did. They placed protective mats over the lawn, A/Cs, & against the siding on the garage to prevent damage. Afterwards, they raked, picked up branches, blew away all the sawdust, and hauled off the tree trunks for recycling. Any passersby wouldn’t be able to tell that I had had any tree work done, because they left it all so clean. Best of all, they employed so many safety measures that I never feared that anyone would get hurt, despite this being a very dangerous job. Chris is also an arborist, a tree expert, whom I had consulted previously, to determine whether any of my trees were diseased and posed a hazard. He thoughtfully examined my trees and selected only the trees that were beyond saving, as well as determined the likely diagnoses for the tree diseases. I would absolutely hire CC Tree Service the next time I need an arborist or tree trimming and removal service. They were impressive, met all deadlines, were VERY reasonably priced, and they far exceeded my expectations. They were honest, safe, insured professionals with excellent communication skills, safeguarded my property, and they cleaned up after themselves!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is highly recommended to remove tree stumps. Leaving them in the ground can lead to several problems, as they are not only unsightly but can also reduce your property's value. Stumps can obstruct landscaping plans, make mowing difficult, and hinder new growth. More importantly, they are prime breeding grounds for pests like termites, ants, and mice, which can spread to your home and cause costly damage to its wood and foundation. Stumps also attract fungi and diseases that can infect other healthy trees and plants in your yard. As a stump decays, it might sprout new, unwanted shoots. While removing a stump is an investment, it prevents these potential issues and enhances the safety, health, and appearance of your landscape.

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.
