"Irvin is professional. His quote was quick with questions answered and specific notes taken for service. Irvin and his staff showed up on time. Started immediately. It was amazing to see them tackle our trees. Both our trees were up against our fence and an outdoor fireplace. No damage was done. They left the yard clean."

"Called Robert's Tree Service and Rebert answered the phone. He said he could come to do an estimate within two days. Robert did the estimate which was acceptable and said he could do the job within two days. A crew of four men arrived at 9am. By 1pm they had felled three large trees, removed trees and stumps, restored gravel and cleaned all debris. We almost couldn't tell that there had ever been trees there."

Customers say: Quality work

"I bought a house that had been sitting for years. It had dozens of large over grown trees, hedges, bushes, roses etc. I had them remove some bushes and trim everything on the property down. They were easy to work with, reasonably priced, and did a thorough clean up. Everything looks great and I will likely use them for future projects."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If an arborist is certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the highest level of certification available is ISA Board Certified Master Arborist. According to the ISA, this credential is reserved for arborists “who have reached the pinnacle of their profession.” Check your arborist’s credentials before hiring to confirm their level of training and expertise.

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations. 

When a palm tree no longer produces new fronds and old fronds start turning yellow-brown, that’s a sign the tree is dying. However, transplanted palm trees can show these signs for the first several months as they re-establish themselves. It’s best to keep watering and not give up on the palm tree until a couple of seasons have passed and you’re sure it’s not coming back to life.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

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.
