"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."

"I feel like they could have done a better job of cleaning up wood pieces left from the wood chipper, but overall very happy with the job they did and the price I was charged for the tree removal"

"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."

"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 ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.

Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning how to get rid of regrowing tree roots is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional.

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.

Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.
