"Brian responded quickly to my request for an estimate and also for work to be done. He and his team were professional, polite, and friendly. They removed two large maples, one tall pine, and a large limb growing over my home. The arborist, Eric, was incredible. He made the work look easy, although you know it wasn't. The team removed all branches and wood, even blowing the tree cuttings off the roof, and raking all debris. The took a large limb that had fallen over the winter which was too large for me to move and was just laying in the back of my yard - thanks!! They also cut some branches for me for firewood. Thank you for a job well done. It is obvious Brian and his team take pride in their work and that job safety and customer satisfaction were top priority for Brian."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.
