"MICTS was a perfect fit for my project. We cut nearly 90 trees. They have a small nimble loader that minimized damage to other trees and vegetation while working in tight spaces. Will is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, accommodating, and was a pleasure to work with. The crew was also easy to work with and did a professional job. I will recommend MICTS to anyone for sure."

"Brandon and his crew are fantastic - friendly, professional, reliable. They removed 4 trees, ground the stumps, and trimmed up 3 others that we wanted to keep but needed the dead wood removed. Their level of communication is refreshing and they did a great job cleaning up. Competitively priced on top of it. Would recommend every time. Our new go-to tree guys! Thank you!"

"Couldn’t be happier. Mike and Vinny were a pleasure to work with. Quality of work was great, professional, fair pricing but most of all great customer service. I was just looking for some edging and mulching and he went above and beyond and trimmed my bushes, took care of some shrubs that were dying and cleaned them up to give them a better chance of recovering and had some left over mulch so he did a small strip I had infront of my fence at no extra charge. Would highly recommend."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an “Angi Approved” badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.

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.

Palm trees aren’t much different than your typical tree removal. Removing a palm tree is a standard procedure as long as pros have the proper tools and supplies. For DIYers, however, there are some risks associated with palm tree removal. Palm trees have spiky fronds, bark, and patches of hefty wood. So, it’s best to let an experienced tree service pro remove a palm tree.

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.
