"In talking with the owner of the business, who was also on site helping perform the tree & stump removal, I found he and crew will go the extra mile to satisfy the customer and do it all with safety in mind. Tree and stump removal could not have gone better including clean up and topsoil seeding. Dylan and Devan truly enjoy the work they do and take pride in providing a quality job using the appropriate equipment."

"After disappointing quotes from other tree services with warnings their heavy equipment might damage water pipes and make ruts in the yard where the large dead ash tree was to be removed, I was thrilled when Martin Tree Service simply took a couple of chainsaws and precisely cut that tree to land exactly between perennial flower gardens and other obstacles. Experts with fair prices! I highly recommend Martin Tree Service!"

"Dustin replied to my request within minutes, checked out the damage of a tree that had fallen on our summer cabin, gave me an estimate the same day and a day later it was done in 2 hours! Everything removed! And they only charged us $1000! It was a huge tree that had to be lifted off the cabin first. Dustin and John were very friendly and gave us a lot of tips pointing out other dangerous trees around the cabin. Completely satisfied with these two young men! Thanks guys!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.
