"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!!!"

"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

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

Yes, burning wood with Dutch elm disease is a safer way to dispose of it than, say, tossing it in with the rest of your yard waste, which could potentially allow it to spread to healthy trees. But it’s always a good idea to check with your local government to make sure you’re complying with any ordinances about removing diseased trees as well as burning brush piles.

Transplanting a palm tree is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn’t need to be as large as a “true” tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it’s important to give them extra support when staking. 

There are a few differences between tree guying and tree staking. Tree guying requires anchor stakes that are shorter and stronger than regular stakes and are driven deeper into the ground at an angle away from the tree. Tree staking uses longer stakes that are set parallel to the tree and are used for smaller trees. Consult a local tree professional to determine which method is best for your tree.

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.
