"Tree services went extremely well. Workers were not only polite and helpful but kept me updated on when they were coming and were accommodating when I asked for a few extra things to be done. Both my next door neighbors were so impressed they had them stop by to give them estimates and hired them too. As a bonus MigeI is a tree climber so no heavy equipment needed to tear up your lawn. They were also considerate and did not walk through my plantings but walked way around. I would highly recommend and will use them again."

"The owner was friendly, on time and did an excellent job. He took out the stump, made sure he got all of the stump and roots and cleaned up after himself. We would recommend there company to grind a stump to anyone. Thanks for a job well done."

"Jerry responded less than an hour after I posted the job and I had an incredibly fair quote an hour after that. Jerry and his crew took down a very large cottonwood tree in our yard. They were right on time they communicated the process in a cohesive and very understandable way. They were careful not to hurt the lawn. They worked incredibly hard and finish the job in about five hours. I would highly recommend this company. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t give them a call."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

Since overwatering can harm mature trees just as much as a lack of water, it’s important to know the signs of an overwatered tree. If your tree’s leaves are yellowing, wilting, or dropping leaves, it’s likely that you’re overwatering. Other common signs include rotting, fungi, soggy soil, soft or peeling bark, falling leaves, and brittle roots. 

If you realize that you’ve been overwatering your mature tree, stop watering and give the soil time to dry out. Then moving forward, increase time between watering sessions.
