"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

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

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.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Yes, you should trim the lower branches of your maple tree for safety. Trimming maple trees as they grow helps lift the crown and canopy and trains it to grow straight up. A good rule of thumb is to prune enough branches to leave 6 feet of clearance under the tree.

Leaf removal costs between $400 and $1,000 per acre on average. Nationally, the cost of leaf removal averages about $350. Cost factors for this project include lawn size, leaf removal method, tree density, location, and the time required to do the job. If your lawn removal service charges based on lawn size, you can expect to pay $0.02 to $0.10 per square foot.
