"Michael arrived on time and we discussed what needed to be done. One tree was basic trimming while the other tree was more difficult since it was quite tall with a lot of dead branches. Michael is very knowledgeable and provided guidance in a very respectful manner. He and his crew worked very quickly and efficiently. Their work was exactly what I was looking for. I really appreciated that they cleaned up all of the debris from both trees and chopped the branches into usable size for my fireplace. The charge for the work was very fair. I will definitely call Michael again when I need tree trimming."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, many services include stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and improve aesthetics.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.

Common signs that a tree is rotting include dead branches, a leaning trunk, peeling or cracked bark, leaf discoloration, and the presence of fungi. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to hire an arborist near you to inspect your tree and determine if it can be saved or if it needs to come down.

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.
