"I was super pleased with the work. One tree had limbs overhanging my living room roof. The limbs were removed, higher limbs also removed so there will be no need for additional work for decades. The second tree was on the property line and hanging over my neighbor's storage shed. There were several dead end dying limbs on that one too. In both cases the company roped to high in the tree, tied limbs with rope and then cut them loose, piece by piece, lowering larger pieces in sections. I was impressed with the clear skill involved and very satisfied with the professionalism shown on several levels. Recommend without reservation for tree work even close to homes."

"Hilltop Custom Landscape & Design removed a number of trees along my fence line, and trimmed a large area of shrubs, so I can get my fence replaced. They did a great job and showed a lot of attention to detail. Each person on the crew was friendly and polite. The price they charged was quite fair, and they did a few little extras not in the quote for me. Lastly, when an unseen nest was disturbed in a removed tree, they noticed three babies on the ground...they stopped work and found some material to make a rough nest with, and then a suitable location in another tree, in hopes the mother would find them. I was extremely impressed with this. These guys get a big thumbs up from me, and they would be the first company I would call in the future for this kind of work."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

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.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.
