"I cannot say enough about how great Josh and his crew were. Josh took the time to truly understand what I needed to have done. He fit me into the schedule quickly, and the crew showed up as promised. They were extremely efficient and professional, doing tree work above my pool, around fencing, and over the roof of the house - trimming some trees and removing others. I have already told Josh I will be calling him again. My yard looked great after their work too. The cleaned up was outstanding. And if that isn't enough to convince you, the whole Arborist Advantage crew was super friendly too!! If I could rate them higher than 5 I would!! Seriously, call these guys!!"

"Tom contacted me right away and he was to able to do the work within a few days of my request. The estimate was very reasonable and Tom was able to grind down all of the stumps at that visit. I was very happy with his work. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs to have stumps removed."

"The most important attribute of a tree service is that they show up when they say to estimate and then perform the work within a short time afterward. These guys did both. The crew worked quickly and efficiently, doing everything they were asked. I'd hire them again."

"They did an awesome job. Came out quickly with a reasonable quote. Within a week they were there to complete the work. They removed a dead cherry flower tree in under 39 mins. Came back the next day to grind down the stump. Professional, quick, and clean. Would recommend."

"Brandon and his crew are fantastic - friendly, professional, reliable. They removed 4 trees, ground the stumps, and trimmed up 3 others that we wanted to keep but needed the dead wood removed. Their level of communication is refreshing and they did a great job cleaning up. Competitively priced on top of it. Would recommend every time. Our new go-to tree guys! Thank you!"

Customers say: True professional

"Couldn’t be happier. Mike and Vinny were a pleasure to work with. Quality of work was great, professional, fair pricing but most of all great customer service. I was just looking for some edging and mulching and he went above and beyond and trimmed my bushes, took care of some shrubs that were dying and cleaned them up to give them a better chance of recovering and had some left over mulch so he did a small strip I had infront of my fence at no extra charge. Would highly recommend."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

The average tree pruning should take one hour with the right equipment. Light pruning of a small tree may only take around 15 to 20 minutes. Pruning multiple large trees in your yard will probably take several hours, including cleanup. However, tree pruning pros can do this job much faster, so you can rely on pros if you’re short on time.

Yes, it’s possible to overwater a newly-planted tree. Daily watering is great for the first few weeks, but it’s important not to go overboard. Excessive watering can lead to various problems, including root rot, fungal diseases, and a lack of root development.

Sudden oak death and oak wilt are different diseases. Oak wilt first shows up in tree leaves while sudden oak death affects the branches and trunk. However, as symptoms in both can overlap, it’s best to consult a professional arborist tree expert for a proper diagnosis and development of a treatment plan.

DIY home gardening can be relaxing, joyful, and cost-effective. From mowing your lawn to planting your own flower beds, there is a wide variety of gardening tasks that you can do yourself to make your yard look beautiful. If you’d rather spend your time not in the dirt, or if you’d like someone to take care of your plants for you, calling a professional gardening service is best. They can give you a workup of what services you’ll need and how often to schedule them.

Grinding down a tree helps reduce the risk of foundation damage and pests and even helps your home’s curb appeal. Stumps can also be a safety hazard. If grass grows above the stump and someone else mows your yard, they may be in for a rude awakening when they accidentally hit it.
