"This is the most amazing tree service we have ever worked with. They are 100% dependable, the pricing is very reasonable compared to other tree services, they are quick to get there and get the job done, the clean up after was great. We have highly recomened them to many of our friends and they in turn have recommended them to others. I was most impressed when we had 3 trees to come down in a semi row. They notched up all three trees to come down. They cut the back tree to push the other 2 trees and all three dominoed in the exact place the wanted. We we amazed of the persuasion that was involved. So if you need a tree removed call them you will not be disappointed"

"I hired Dylan for a tree that was hanging over my roof - fortunately for me, he was the right guys for the job. Dylan was timely, safe, and fair priced. He came to my house, cut the large oak tree, and picked up all the wood/branches on my property like nothing happened. Highly recommend if youâ re looking for affordable, and honest service with anything relating to trees/bushes."

"I am happy with the work and it was a pleasure doing business with Dan. I needed my tree branches trimmed that hung over my house and garage. Dan told me how much it was going to cost upfront. We set up sometime that worked for both of us and he arrived as scheduled. Dan was very professional to work with and if I ever need more work done on my trees, I will call him again."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

A serrated knife will work for cutting off small palm tree fronds, about 1 inch in diameter. For larger fronds, you will need pruning shears. You may also use a pruning saw, and if your palm tree is especially tall, an extended pole saw can help you reach the brown fronds around the trunk.
