"Upstate New York Tree Service was highly recommended by my parents, for doing such a terrific tree trimming job for them recently. So, no surprise that this wonderful family business for decades, did a fantastic job at doing some significant tree trimming of two very large trees for me! The owner thoroughly knowledgeable and having a background educated in all things green, explained the significance of the bit of rot on one of the trees. Also he detailed a plan to remediate & comprehensively trim down both trees, especially the compromised one to lighten the load quite a bit. Having had a major tree removed out front a while ago and knowing pricing (and add inflation) a bit for this work, his quote was reasonable and fair Especially nice, was that he could get in the work required very soon, rather than waiting weeks or more for a quote and work done, as maybe for some tree services. His very professional team arrived w/all their heavy duty equipment, tools and saws ready to take care of business. and That they did in a very organized, thoughtful and effective manor at doing some very involved and complicated tree trimming. In the very back of my yard, they successfully navigated, tied off and avoided large branches damaging my new shed, garage or nice fence! No small accomplishment! When all was effectively and efficiently done over a few days, they very thoroughly cleaned up and hauled away all tree branches and debris. After recently worrying while watching my trees sway wickedly during that big storm that generated numerous tornadoes in Central NY, I will worry no more! Plus as a major bonus: much less raking, picking up sticks/branches and plenty of new sunlight to enjoy; priceless! Appreciate very much the comprehensive, reasonably priced, and quality professional job done by Upstate New York Tree Service from the owner to the whole crew!"

"Highly recommend! Had several tree stumps removed from my yard and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Bill was professional, responsive, and worked fast. Everything was cleaned up really well afterward too. I’d definitely use him again for future work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A palm tree's lifespan typically ranges from 40 to 100 years, though some species can live much longer. For example, certain types of Date Palm trees can live for over 200 years. The exact longevity of a palm tree is influenced by several factors, including its species, size, climate, and growing conditions. To maximize your palm's lifespan, provide proper care and maintenance, such as ensuring it gets enough sunlight, water, and nutrients, and protecting it from pests and diseases. For expert maintenance tips, consider consulting a professional arborist.

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

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.

If a tree isn’t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.
