"I called and spoke with Heather who was quite knowledgeable and she was able to help us out as we were buying a new property. Chris surveyed the area and made recommendations for things we had not noticed. We had the estimate within 24 hours which was very reasonable and decided to hire them. They actually came the next day. They went beyond our expectations. The crew did an awesome job and cleaned up everything. I would highly recommend this company. Prices are reasonable and you get just what you ask for."

Greater Heights Tree Care is owned and operated by David Baransky, who is a third generation tree expert. From a young age David knew his passion was tree care and obtained a degree in Herb and Tree Management from Paul Smith’s College. David began Greater Heights Tree Care with climbing gear handed down from his grandfather and is proud to have built a business that now has a fleet of trucks. Greater Heights Tree Care is an honest and local business striving to build long lasting relationships with all it’s customers.

"It was a pleasure working with Greater Heights. We called them about a group of 11 small trees needing removal, and got a call back promptly, with a representative assessing the situation and giving an estimate within a day. They gave a possible time frame of three weeks, and came in less than two weeks to do the job. The crew of six then had the entire job done in a little more than half an hour, including the grinding of all 11 stumps and an extremely thorough cleaning job afterwards. The teamwork was impressive to watch, as was the machinery they used to do the job. We were completely satisfied from start to finish, and would have no hesitation about calling them again."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

In most cases, hiring a tree surgeon or arborist is very often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard tree removal companies usually don’t, leading to overall better and more professional service. Tree removal is safer with an arborist, especially if the tree you’re taking down is diseased or infested. Stump grinding is done to a safe depth that won’t cause your lawn to collapse over time, and other services are all backed by greater experience and expertise. If you want truly expert-level service, opt for an arborist.

Whether you choose to chisel and hammer, chainsaw, or burn your tree stump to hollow it out, always use protective goggles and thick gloves. Splinters are an inevitable risk. Having a power drill with a diameter of at least ⅜ inch also makes the job quicker and easier.

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

Licensing requirements for arborists vary by state and municipality, so you should use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to see if your arborist needs a license. Even if an arborist license isn’t mandated in your area, it’s a good idea to hire one that has at least a business license, business insurance, and certification from a third-party organization, like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA). Licensed arborists tend to have more experience and are more likely to provide a professional solution to your tree problem.
