"I hired Upstate Tree Service to trim and shape my Japanese Cherry tree which was way overgrown. Lonny was so nice and very professional. The tree was so large they had to use a bucket truck to trim it. My husband was afraid that if the truck went on the lawn it would ruin our grass. They did go on the lawn but youâ d never know it. Our tree came out beautiful and I will definitely use them again."

"Had a very large ash tree in-between fencing and some power lines. Joe did an excellent job of taking down the tree without hitting anything or messing up the yard. Joe was very professional and had reasonable rates for tree removal. I would highly recommend him for any tree removal."

"We hired Joe and his crew to remove a large tree in our backyard. Not only was this tree hanging over the back portion of our house but also a patio and fire pit area. They took care not to damage anything but also did a tremendous clean up afterward. We will definitely use them in the future and would highly recommend them for any tree removal project!!"

"Austin and Lonnie Drake and their crew were absolutely incredible. They were prompt, professional, quick and thorough. We needed about 6 trees removed before having our pool done, and Austin was able to fit us in even with the short notice and got the job done faster than we ever expected. They are an amazing group of people to work with and treated us like family. Definitely will refer them to anyone we know for tree removal. Thank you again for your service!"

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

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. 

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

A tree can split because of high winds, a change in temperature, or from an infestation or tree disease. All of these factors can overlap, making a single cause difficult to pinpoint. While winter storms are some of the most common causes for a tree to split, it can also happen because of termites or rot.
