"I wouldn’t get my tree service done by anyone else! Timberline was extremely responsive, helpful and efficient. I spoke with Chris on the phone about having someone come look at my trees and Benjamin was at my home later that day. Benjamin was honest about what trees needed to come down and the price he gave was competitive and very reasonable. I am very happy with the work the Timberline crew did for me and I will definitely be calling again if I have any need for their services in the future!"

"Excellent. the back to back Nor'easters pummeled Westchester and all the tree services were backed up....Bill Demarest's team got to us quickly, assessed the risks of our partially downed tree and planned the work accordingly. they did a great job, neat, professional, took a lot of care in protecting the surrounding areas as they took down a very big sugar maple and removed a huge branch from that tree that fell in my side yard. They are great!"

"Galvez Tree Service was the best decision we made for cutting down the dangerous dead trees on our property! They were professional, reliable and reasonable! Ivan responded immediately to get in touch to give an estimate. Came on time walked my whole property with me. Discussed the options and gave us a very fair price. The crew and Ivan arrived on time, got straight to work, completed the job safely and timely! Cleaned up EVERYTHING ! They put the trunks where we asked and dumped the mulch where we could easily spread it! We will have them back to do some pruning in the fall! Thank you"

"When we purchased our house in the Bronx 2 years ago, we interited a large tree that was being choked with years of boston ivy growth. 2 landscapers removed some of the lower vines, but none would tackle removing all the vines which extended about 40/50 feet up the tree. Lenny was the first of 8 tree trimmers Angie recommended who called me (never heard from 6 others) and he came over in 45 minutes to give me an estimate. The price for trimmiing about 10 trees was very reasonable (based on prior experience) and I hired him right away. He came with a crew the next morning and trimmed all the trees & vines, chipped all the leaves and branches and cleaned up the yard. His climber was amazing & they did a fantastic job!! I highly recommend Always Green and will use them again."

"Based on the amount of work they did for clearing out a bunch of bushes, weeds, grass and tree branches, the price was definitely reasonable and worth it. I would definitely be using their service in the future. And I recommend anyone looking for any landscaping needs to use this service."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

The best pro to hire for spraying trees is a tree maintenance specialist. These pros are well-versed in selecting the right spray treatment and applying it properly to ensure there’s no collateral damage to the tree or surrounding landscape. Many tree maintenance services employ certified arborists, but for these routine visits, the extra investment usually isn’t necessary.

Stay inside or well away until the storm passes. Don’t go outside to inspect the tree until the weather clears, especially if the tree is on a hill or isolated in a field. Lightning often strikes the same easily-accessed places multiple times, and you could be a new target. If a lightning strike causes a noticeable fire, alert emergency services. When the storm is over, take a closer look to gauge the damage done.

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.

There are many signs that a tree is diseased or dying, and if you suspect that’s the case, you should call an arborist immediately. You might notice rot or fungus on the trunk or that the tree is beginning to lean to one side. Brittle branches or signs of root damage are other indicators that a tree is in trouble. If the tree is dying, it might be time to cut the tree down so it doesn’t fall.
