"We received one of Lemus Tree Services flyers and called for an estimate. They showed up on time, evaluated the job, gave a reasonable estimate, and went to work immediately. They trimmed and pruned our 3 White Chinese Dogwoods to perfection. We highly recommend Lemus Tree Service and will use them in the future."

"Austin Powell, the owner of Alps Tree Care, was exceptionally responsive and professional throughout the course of the project, being the removal of 10 mature, (partially to fully) diseased ash trees that we situated within striking distance of my house. Austin visited my property the morning after I called him to provide a quote. His price was at the lower end of multiple bids that I had received from a few of his local competitors. I accepted his bid because he patiently explained, with the confidence of an experienced arborist, how he was going to remove the trees without accidentally crushing my house...which was a nightmare scenario which was easily imagined if you viewed the trees that I needed removed. On the first day of the tree removal, Austin and his team, which included his fit as fiddle mother, worked with military precision to simultaneously fell seven of the trees, wood chip the branches that were not going to be cut up for firewood, while cleaning up the debris that accumulated around the house. The downed trees were then chain sawed into logs that were sized in length for firewood. The second day the rest of the trees were taken down and my property was cleaned up in spectacular fashion. On the third day Austin showed up with a team of modern day Paul Bunyans, sharpened axes in hand (and a gas-powered log splitter as backup), who proceeded to split the logs into 4-5 cords of firewood. It was an amazing feat of strength and skill...and great spectator sport. They situated the green wood into two piles, with easy access to my two woodsheds. I will move the firewood to the woodsheds after a few months of outdoor curing. All that said, I would not hesitate to recommended Alps Tree Care."

"Dave did amazing work! We had a trunk come down off our Willow tree. Many local services could not come out for months but Dave was able to be there same day for an estimate (which was very reasonable) and cleared everything the next day. I would definitely recommend Timberwolf to anyone in the area. Thanks Dave!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease.
