"“Early bird gets the worm” applies to this tree service. He called from out front of our home and gave a very reasonable estimate! The work was done and he was on his way in no time flat! We’d recommend him to anyone."

"G & G Landscaping did a great job! They took down 2 large trees, removed the stumps, and cleared away a lot of overgrown brush. They had to deal with some snow and very cold weather.…that did not deter them. They worked diligently for 3 days to get the job done. I am extremely happy with their work, professionalism, and the price was very fair."

"Edwin is the best! He arrived quickly to evaluate my large tree which needed to come down and in a few days it was done while I was out of town. After the ice storm there were a few other limbs which needed to be taken down and he is coming back in a couple days to get that done. He is professional and his price was very good for the work he did. I would definitely hire him again."

"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."

"After dealing with numerous tree removal services who failed to keep appointments, i finally contacted Spence’s who promptly responded, removed the tree in a professional manner. The prices were competitive and the employees were professional and competent. The tree was removed expeditiously and the grounds cleaned well. I highly recommend them."

Customers say: True professional

"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

While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment. 

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). 

Yes, burning wood with Dutch elm disease is a safer way to dispose of it than, say, tossing it in with the rest of your yard waste, which could potentially allow it to spread to healthy trees. But it’s always a good idea to check with your local government to make sure you’re complying with any ordinances about removing diseased trees as well as burning brush piles.
