"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."

"Communication:  Excellent - From the original contact through the completion of work, Ross Armstrong was very responsive and communicative (most communication was via our preferred method: e-mail).  Prior to starting the work, Ross and his team were very considerate of my concerns.  During the work they kept me informed of "what, how, and when" they would be performing the various steps of the job.  The entire team was pleasant and articulate.
Price:  Excellent - The quoted price was competitive in comparison to the other three quotes we obtained.  An Angie's List Coupon sweetened the deal.
Punctuality: Excellent - At the agreed-upon date and time, Ross and his team arrived, with all necessary equipment, and got right to work.
Performance: Excellent - The tree removal was performed in an efficient, safe, and professional manner.  They worked at a steady pace from start to finish.  There was never a sense they were rushing nor were they ever standing idle.  The tree came down, in pieces, in a very systematic and controlled manner and I never felt that anyone or anything was in danger.  The equipment they used (saws, bucket truck, chipper, grinder, etc.) were all modern and clearly well-maintained.  Upon completion, the job site was thoroughly cleaned before they departed.
Bottom Line:  If you're looking for the excitement/entertainment of having someone come and wave a chain saw around recklessly or want to be surprised as to where the tree falls (or what/who it falls on), call someone else.  If you want someone to do exactly what they say they are going to do, when they say they're going to do it, and do it in a professional and respectful manner, contact Armstrong & Co.

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

No, homeowners insurance typically does not cover the cost of removing a dead, sick, or rotting tree that is still standing. Insurance is designed to protect against sudden and unexpected accidents, whereas a tree dying or rotting over time is considered a maintenance issue. Coverage usually only applies after a tree has fallen and caused damage to your property.

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.
