"I needed a tree removed and significant tree branch trimming along my fence line. I received 4 quotes and William was the only one who provided copies of their license and insurance without me having to ask. He was very professional and reached out to me several times to see if I was ready to choose a company while also offering available dates. The crew arrived on time, was courteous and did a great job. William kept checking with me to make sure I was happy with their work as the day progressed and cleaned the area up better then when they arrived. I was so impressed, I told family members who hired William for 2 additional tree jobs at their homes ... both were extremely happy with the price and the work. It's not every day that you find a company that really cares about customers and do the right job ... we plan on telling others that need future tree work to make sure they call William for an estimate."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

When a palm tree no longer produces new fronds and old fronds start turning yellow-brown, that’s a sign the tree is dying. However, transplanted palm trees can show these signs for the first several months as they re-establish themselves. It’s best to keep watering and not give up on the palm tree until a couple of seasons have passed and you’re sure it’s not coming back to life.

Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.
