"I highly recommend G & G Landscape Design! They removed several very tall pine trees, cleared out overgrown bushes, and installed a beautiful wooden fence on my property. From start to finish, their communication was excellent—they kept me informed throughout the entire process and were always quick to answer questions. The crew was professional, courteous, and clearly took pride in their work. The tree and brush removal was completed efficiently, and the fence installation exceeded my expectations. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the finished project has completely transformed my yard. If you’re looking for a company with exceptional customer service, great communication, and high-quality work, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. I’m extremely happy with the results!"

"Eugene and Dennis helped us with a large branch that landed on our roof. Luckily there was no damage but it was big enough where we could not remove it ourselves. They arrived quickly, were professional and friendly. They had attention to safety and making sure no damage was done in the process. They also were kind enough to give us a quote to help prevent any further issues in the future. They left the wood at our request and stacked it neatly and made sure all debris was gone. I look forward to working with them again in the future and would recommend them to anyone looking for tree services in the future."

"We had a triple trunk, huge silver maple in our back yard that needed to come down. Its location made access and removal tricky. We started this project 3 years ago and waited for someone to actually keep their promise of showing up to do the job. In total, we had spoken to 8 Tree Service Companies, but they kept ghosting us, and we determined they just didn’t want the job. Finally we found ER Tree Services. Edwin was great at communicating with us, agreed to remove our tree within 2 weeks and kept his word. His team showed up on time, went right to work and masterfully took down this huge tree. The workers were professional, polite and careful in the falling of the tree and the removal of all the debris. Our backyard look great when they finished their clean-up. Several neighbors reached out, saying how amazed they were watching this crew work with such skill and synchronicity. We absolutely can’t say enough positive things about Edwin and his team. They are the only Tree Service we would ever recommend"

"Brandon the owner was a pleasure to work with. I had him trim 3 large oak trees and remove 5 or 6 smaller trees. He also did the stump grinding. It was all done in a morning. They cleaned up everything, and you couldn't even tell they had been here by 1 PM."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Many consider the Fraser fir to be the most popular type of Christmas tree, but which type of tree sells out near you can depend on region and decorating trends that year. For example, the Leyland cypress is especially popular in the Southeast, according to the National Christmas Tree Association.

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall. 

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.
