"The most important attribute of a tree service is that they show up when they say to estimate and then perform the work within a short time afterward. These guys did both. The crew worked quickly and efficiently, doing everything they were asked. I'd hire them again."

"Giacomo was very prompt in responding initially when we requested a quote for having a tree removed and a few stumps grinded. The price was very competitive and he was able to come get the work done very quickly. They were very respectful of our property and our neighbor's property and made sure to clean up as they went. They made sure that no debris was left behind and that we were happy with the work done. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to have any tree removal done."

"Brandon and his crew are fantastic - friendly, professional, reliable. They removed 4 trees, ground the stumps, and trimmed up 3 others that we wanted to keep but needed the dead wood removed. Their level of communication is refreshing and they did a great job cleaning up. Competitively priced on top of it. Would recommend every time. Our new go-to tree guys! Thank you!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.

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.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.
