"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

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. 

Trimming your palm trees once or twice per year keeps them healthy and robust. Caring for palm trees includes cutting off brown leaves to prevent wildfires and pathway obstruction. However, you don’t want to over-trim the palm tree. Cutting too many branches off will weaken the tree and prevent future growth. And it’s essential to have a strong, healthy palm tree during hurricane season to prevent safety risks or property damage.

Trimming a tree can take anywhere from just two hours to a full day, depending on the age of the tree, the number of trees, and the species. Young trees are generally easier to trim, as their branches are often thinner in diameter and easier to reach compared to mature trees. They also tend to be healthier. If you haven’t trimmed your trees before or it’s been a while, the process could take even longer.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear).
