"I only gave these guys three stars, because they did clean work and didn't leave a mess behind for me to clean up. However, they took my money and did not complete the job to my satisfaction. When I asked them why they didn't cut the branch that I hired them to cut in the first place, they gave me excuses where they used buzz words like "horticulture". So, I had to hire a second tree service who came in and quickly completed the job that these guys failed to do."

"I’d rate these guys A++ if the website allowed me. What can I say? They’re best-in-class. The “holy grail” of tree cutting in the Tri State Area. I had several dead American Beech trees in my backyard - pretty concerning! I called Timberline and immediately received fast and reliable service. Their sales rep came to my house (handsome guy, too!) They came to my house same-day and gave us a great quote. I couldn’t write the check any faster. The job was done with precision and efficiency. Their crew is top-notch and works with the best interest of your property in mind. My back yard has never looked better. Thanks Timberline!"

"Jon Olsz went above and beyond to ensure that our trees and shrubs were pruned, removed and are now properly cared for. Jon walked the property with me and spent time answering my question.. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, an effective communicator and will keep you posted every step of the way. Jon visited the property before, during and again weeks after the service to ensure that we were satisfied with the work. The work was exceptional. Great care was taken not only to prune and remove the trees/shrubs but also to keep the yard clean. The pruning was to keep our amazing trees/shrubs to scale. The workmanship kept the property looking natural. All hand-pruned.. I highly recommend Almstead Tree Service and Jon Olsz."

"He does my landscaping. I have been using him for a couple of years now. He has also been doing snow removal for me. His company charges me on the service. They charge me for what they do and when they do it. I have been using them on a weekly basis for snow removal. They charged $180 the last time I used them. I am happy that they are doing the work. I really like the crew that does landscaping for me; they are really good. The guys, who do the snow removal and landscaping work, are conscientious and they do a good job. I would continue to use them, but I might look for another service provider in the spring time."

They were not only punctual but also displayed a high level of professionalism throughout the entire process.

My holiday landscape looks stunning, thanks to their outstanding work. Highly recommend!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

There are several signs that may indicate a tree needs to be cut down. These include visible damage to the trunk or branches, a hollow trunk, extensive storm damage, or a significant lean to one side. Other warning signs are pest infestations or the tree growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures. It is best to hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree, as they can determine if it can be saved or if removal is necessary.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
