"After seeing positive reviews, I decided to reach out to Tree Fellers. Laurie-Annâ s demeanor was pleasant and she listened to our needs, before arranging an assessment. Robert and Laurie-Ann arrived on time for our scheduled assessment. They provided an itemized estimate, in less than a day, WITH photo references, providing ultimate transparency as to what the job would entail. We were pleased with the price and timely communication. Robert and his crew were on time, efficient, professional and completed the job in its entirety. Tree Fellers is our new go-to contractor for our tree services. We are extremely pleased with their work and happy to share our positive experience."

"As a retired person, Responsiveness, quality of work, and especially fair pricing are extremely important to me. Jaime assured me at our first meeting that I would be happy upon completion and I am. A small tree was taken down and removed, depressions in the lawn were filled and seeded, and a fifty foot section of an old stone wall was totally cleared of old Grape vines, leaves and pricker bushes. I would highly recommend JDA General Contracting. The end result at my house is awesome and I am ready for spring!"

"I used Green Landscaping to remove a troublesome tree from my backyard in the Bronx. Everything about working with Lenny and his team was superb from the start. I used Angi to get connected to them and Lenny immediatley followed up, set up a time for a quote the next day, and followed up with me with required insurance information for my HOA. The day of the job, he and his crew showed up early and ready to work. After a quick assessment and chat about what would happen, the crew got to work removing the tree. I kid you not, in less than 15 minutes, this tree was cut down, brought outside, and chopped up in their portable disposal truck. They cleaned up the debris from the yard, and left me blown away by the great service. If you're considering a tree removal, I cannot recommend Lenny and his team at Green Landscaping enough. I would happily use them for any future tree or landscaping services, as should you!"

"Alec was amazing from start to end! Called him panicking after a storm with multiple trees down and wanting other trees to come down. Alec came out right away to give me an estimate that was reasonable and fair and got the job done the following week! Highly recommend and will use for all future tree work!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

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.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.
