"Bradley was able to begin my project the very next day. He was able to cut down a very large tree in an awkward place without damaging the shrubs and garden beds around it. He and his helper (Brandon) were able to complete the project within the day. They carted off the trunks and heaviest boughs and lugged the rest to the curb. They were even understanding and cheerful about coming back when some of the smaller debris had to be moved again (because I wasn't clear about where I wanted it). Their service was prompt, efficient and well-done. I definitely will call them again if the need arises and would recommend them to others."

"Very personalized service provided for the removal of 2 downed trees (1 medium sized and 1 very large tree.) Also did lot clearing from private road to water access. Provided before and after pictures and was in constant contact with myself and real estate agent with updates as to the progress of the work. Would definitely recommend to others and will hire hire again in the spring of 2022 for any additional lot clearing, if needed. Hired a family business because customer service is extremely important to me - and Brock Archer and company provided excellent customer service."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

The cost of professional tree service, such as trimming, is $460 on average, but the price can range from $75 to $1,800. A more typical range is between $200 and $760. The final price depends on several factors, including the size and type of the tree. For example, trimming Crepe Myrtle trees costs an average of $80 to $400, while giant pine trees can range from $200 to $1,800. Other factors that influence the cost include the time of year, as services are often more expensive in the spring. Your location can also play a role; costs may be higher if you live in a remote area or if the tree is difficult to access. However, some professionals may offer a discount if you have multiple trees that need service.

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task. 

It's easy to misidentify trees that appear to be maple trees due to similarities in leaf shapes. Sweetgum, sycamore, and yellow poplar all have leaf shapes and appearances similar to maples. The fact that around a dozen maple tree varieties exist, only about half of which are considered common, makes misidentification an often typical occurrence.
