"Can tell a big difference between a real man of his craft vs. A back yard hillbilly that can swing a chainsaw. I had the hillbilly, and now have Nick. Definitely will hire again. True art of customer service comes through. Appreciate him tremendously for expert advice and work ethic."

"After a miscommunication was quickly resolved, Justin and his team worked hard for 5 hours trimming my trees. They cleaned everything from the lawn and actually cleared the moss from the roof. We are extremely satisfied."

"Paul was very personable and knowledgeable. He cut down several dead, very tall old trees in the back of our lot. It was done efficiently. The trees were cut down and taken away and debris cleaned up sufficiently. I would recommend Muolo's Tree Service and if need further tree removal in the future will most likely be calling on his again."

"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.."

"I had a great experience with Highland Tree Service. Justin and his crew were professional, arrived on time, and did an excellent job removing two trees and trimming several others on my property. They worked safely, cleaned up all the branches and debris, and left the work area clean when they were finished. Communication with Ashley in the office was excellent from start to finish. She was friendly, responsive, and made the entire process easy. Their pricing was fair, and the level of customer service was outstanding. I highly recommend Highland Tree Service to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality tree removal and tree trimming services."

"I almost took a Star away because he showed up 90 minutes later than the originally discussed time. But the work was done quickly and efficiently, even cutting back a little more than proposed so neighbors tree no longer overhangs my driveway/property line. And he cleaned up nice. Would hire again"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

To maintain trees on a commercial property, perform regular pruning, monitor for diseases, and apply fertilization to promote healthy growth. It is also important to remove any hazardous branches to keep the trees healthy and prevent potential liability issues.

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.

Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.

A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don’t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project.  

You can often tell if a tree is grafted because it will have a noticeable line. Above the line, the bark will look different than it does below the line. It’s most common with fruit trees.
