"We hired Hiram Land and Timber to remove a large tree as well as prune many of the trees on our property. We were very pleased with the professionalism and quality of the work done. They came on time, worked diligently to complete the job including grinding the stump and cleaned everything beautifully - our yard never looked so good! They are the only tree service we will use in the future!"

"Excellent!! They were the most professional service I have ever had. They saw I had a sprinkler system without me telling them and took the necessary precautions not to run the truck over the sprinkler heads. I had spring flowers that had started emerging and they took special care not to drop branches on them. They cleaned up so well, the yard was left in better condition than before they started. I would highly recommend them to anyone anytime. Their pricing came in lower than the other 2 estimates i received.."

"Julio came out promptly to give us a quote, which was right in line with 2 other quotes we'd received, and was he extremely professional and knowledgeable.  When we scheduled the work, they came on time, and did a wonderful job.  They had large equipment to handle the situation, and Julio and his whole crew were professional, pleasant, hard-working, and worked very well as a team.  They were careful about what they were doing, and did a very nice job cleaning up.  We highly recommend them!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000 per tree, depending on size, location, and accessibility.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

If you’re wondering why tree trunks are painted white in your area, it’s usually to prevent sunscald, a condition where extreme shifts in temperature can cause tree bark to split. Fruit trees are especially vulnerable to sunscald, so this treatment is worth considering if it’s something that affects your trees.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.
