"We had a pretty high priority project, as some dead branches were hanging precariously over our electrical lines. Sweeney's gave us an estimate, executed the job the next weekend. The tree was pretty hard to reach, so we were impressed with their speed and quality."

"This is the most amazing tree service we have ever worked with. They are 100% dependable, the pricing is very reasonable compared to other tree services, they are quick to get there and get the job done, the clean up after was great. We have highly recomened them to many of our friends and they in turn have recommended them to others. I was most impressed when we had 3 trees to come down in a semi row. They notched up all three trees to come down. They cut the back tree to push the other 2 trees and all three dominoed in the exact place the wanted. We we amazed of the persuasion that was involved. So if you need a tree removed call them you will not be disappointed"

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

If you’re buying a small tree with lots of room to grow, expect to pay around $100 to $200 for a potted version. But if you’re buying a larger tree—say one over 10 feet—prices rise, starting in the $500 to $600 range and increasing quickly from there. Keep in mind that paying for professional palm tree planting or transplanting services will increase the cost.

You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.
