"A prompt response to our request for a quote on removing 3 trees, grinding the stumps, and trimming of arborvitaes in our backyard. Justin, the owner, was personable, professional, and provided a reasonable quote, as well as being able to start the job in a matter of days. He and his crew were hardworking, efficient, and did an exceptional job cleaning up the yard of all debris. It was a pleasure doing business with his company and we will most definitely utilize his services in the future. They excel at customer service."

"Excellent job of removing a huge split branch before it broke off and crashed through the roof. Logan Moore and his crew were efficient, professional and pleasant. They raked up every twig. Very good price for a big job. I'm pleased with their work and would definitely recommend L Moore Tree Service."

"We had a large group of very tall dead ash trees removed. The trees were located in a difficult location, but they did a fantastic job of removing all the trees, with everything cleaned up. Also, the price was reasonable, especially considering the magnitude of the job."

"Justin did a wonderful job trimming the large Oak and Birch tree in our front yard. We were extremely impressed with his knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail. Not only do our trees look amazing the additional sunlight that the trimming of our trees provides will give our lawn the opportunity the grow and prosper. We highly recommend Highland Tree Service for your next landscaping project! Shawn and Amy Stewart"

"Our backyard ground cover was out of control and needed to be removed, along with raking and removing leaves from our easement and general spring clean-up. Jay was great to work with from start to finish. This was not an easy job, but he and his crew had our yard looking beautiful in under three hours. We definitely will be using Snyder & Sons Lawn and Landscaping for fall and spring clean-up in the future, as well as other landscaping projects.."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

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.

Burning a tree stump can be effective, but it comes with safety considerations and isn’t always best for every situation. It's essential to check local regulations and assess the safety risks involved. Stumps that are near wooden structures or other non-moveable flammable objects aren’t good candidates for burning due to the risk of the fire spreading. Alternatives like grinding or a DIY stump rotting project might be safer and quicker for getting the job done.

No, you cannot throw branches from your neighbor’s tree back into their yard, nor can you discard leaves or other plant matter that originated from their yard back over there if it happens to land in your yard. You are responsible for cleaning up plant matter that made its way into your yard.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.
