"Sent request on line and Jon called right away. We made an appointment for the next day. He arrived on time and got right to work. He removed my tree stump. Jon protected our lawn with plywood boards cause the lawn was wet. Reasonable price. Quick, easy, professional, and great customer service! Highly recommend! Super nice and goes above and beyond to please customers."

"Warren and his crews cut down several trees for us in summer 2024. They worked in the hottest part of the summer and did a great job. They did the work quickly and cleaned up well. I will definitely hire again."

"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

Dead tree branches should be removed, because they can cause the tree to lose nutrients. They can also make the tree more susceptible to disease and pests. Removing dead and diseased branches can help the tree recover and increase the odds of saving a dying tree. Make sure to prune the tree correctly to avoid damaging it further.

No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines. 

Yes, many services include stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and improve aesthetics.

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.

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.
