"Woodchuck tree service was fantastic! Time is a precious commodity. I kept putting off pruning some trees and removing some dead and dying ones. After walking the property and talking with Woodchuck about my plans they made it happen that day. They trimmed the trees, cut and removed the dead dying trees. Stump grinding was important, mower blades won’t be destroyed. They cleaned up the yard where they worked before they left. Great service and price. I will hire again! Thank you woodchuck."
"Tree services went extremely well. Workers were not only polite and helpful but kept me updated on when they were coming and were accommodating when I asked for a few extra things to be done. Both my next door neighbors were so impressed they had them stop by to give them estimates and hired them too. As a bonus MigeI is a tree climber so no heavy equipment needed to tear up your lawn. They were also considerate and did not walk through my plantings but walked way around. I would highly recommend and will use them again."
"Very professional and nice..took care of putting wood on lawn as it was soft and cleaned up sidewalk where machine went over..highly recommend..happy with results and husband was too when he came home..."
"The tree work that we had done who is done professionally and done on time . All of the employees were very helpful and work well together . We couldn’t have asked for a better job or a better crew to complete our tree removal of several trees. We would highly recommend them for anyone to have their work done by A-One tree and landscaping . They were very kind and helpful for any changes or additions. We had suggested. Thank you A-One again for your services and respect."
"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."
"Max and Dan of Kustom Tree Care Inc. are professional, friendly, and professional. They trimmed our large maple and cherry blossom trees with great care and precision. While they worked, they joked with each other and they genuinely enjoyed working together. I could speak with them as they worked and get to know them well enough to know them and their commitment to high-quality work. They cleaned everything up beautifully. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend them for your yard's tree care"
"The company did a great job removing the tree and stump, left us with clear instructions on how to care for the seeded area after the removal. Was very responsive to emails. Would absolutely hire again."
Since summer is a busy time for tree companies, the cheapest time of year to remove a tree is during the winter. February and March are typically the prime time to hire a tree removal pro, and some homeowners living in colder climates can save around 20% off services. It depends on location and the company, but you can always shop around for the best deal.
The average tree pruning should take one hour with the right equipment. Light pruning of a small tree may only take around 15 to 20 minutes. Pruning multiple large trees in your yard will probably take several hours, including cleanup. However, tree pruning pros can do this job much faster, so you can rely on pros if you’re short on time.
Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.
Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size.
A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.
In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.
