"Very prompt and professional. I told him what I wanted done and left. When he was done it was exactly what I wanted. NB he leaves the wood chips in place. I plan on using them for footpaths."

"Stop your search here. Tree Fellers did amazing work for us. Robert and Laurie-Ann came to our home within a day of our request for quote. Unlike others, they provided an itemized quote with photos. We chose them because they were so organized, honest, responsive and kind. For real, super nice people. Then, the work started. Whoa, did they hustle! The crew was super professional and didn’t mind as we watched them climb trees, trim tops, take down gigantic (rotting/dead) trees. We were amazed at the care they took to protect our home and property. They chipped everything right here on site and we have massive piles of chips to use for mulching this spring. We have many trees and will surely need more work done. We won’t need to search for who to use. It will be Tree Fellers"

"I recently hired Willow Tree Arborists for a large tree removal job and was extremely satisfied with every aspect of their service. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone needing professional and reliable tree care. ?From the initial consultation to the final cleanup, the entire team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and a keen attention to detail. The job involved removing some very large branches that hung precariously over my home, and I was particularly impressed with their commitment to safety. They meticulously planned and executed the cuts, clearly prioritizing the protection of my property throughout the entire process. It was evident that putting safety first is a core value of their operation. ?Beyond their outstanding work ethic, I was equally happy with their affordability. They provided a very competitive and reasonable quote, offering excellent value for the high quality of work performed.overall i had a great experience and highly recommend this company!!!"

"I can't say enough positive things about this group. They were punctual, professional, and showed great attention to detail. And they offered very competitive pricing to boot! They worked all day on my yard, eliminating and removing 2 large oak trees, an extremely tall hickory tree, 9 pine trees, and a "widow-maker" deciduous tree in 100 degree heat. My kids and I tried to bring them food, drinks, chairs, etc... , but we had to be EXTREMELY forceful for them to accept our offering. I'm very tight-fisted with money, but I opted to tip over $400 because of my appreciation and respect for the work they performed."

"Orlando responded quickly to my inquiry for six dead tree take-downs. He came out to the property on time and gave a full and clear estimate of the cost and scope of the job. He and his team were ready to go the next day, came early, and worked quicky and efficiently. I will use them again in the future."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

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.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

On grafted trees, tree suckers will grow from the root stock, not the branches grafted onto it. Therefore, the leaves and characteristics of the suckers aren’t the same as the tree because they are different varieties. Root stock has more hardiness, strength, or drought tolerance than its grafted limbs, so if the suckers are from fruit or flowers, it might be different than the main part of your tree.

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.
