"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!!"

"MICTS was a perfect fit for my project. We cut nearly 90 trees. They have a small nimble loader that minimized damage to other trees and vegetation while working in tight spaces. Will is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, accommodating, and was a pleasure to work with. The crew was also easy to work with and did a professional job. I will recommend MICTS to anyone for sure."

"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

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

Unless it’s dead or dangerous, think twice about cutting down a tree in your yard. They’re good for health, well-being, wildlife, and the environment. Plus, local authorities often have regulations prohibiting the removal of trees, especially protected species or individual trees with historical value.

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.
