"I have many rental properties so I deal with a lot of contractors throughout the year. Recently, a huge tree fell on and crushed a detached garage at one of my properties. I called probably 15 to 20 tree companies. Some never called me back and some came out, looked at the job and acknowledged it was too big or too complicated. Only a few companies provided quotes. I selected Brian's Tree Service after comparing all contractors. Brian's Tree Service was competitively priced and he didn't hesitate to provide me with GL insurance and workman's comp certificates. They also shared my concerns over potential driveway damage from a huge crane that was needed. Although no company including Brian's Tree Service could guarantee the driveway would not crack, Brian took great care and gave me confidence that if anybody could avoid damaging the driveway it was his company. The job went great. He removed the tree from the garage and also cut down and even larger tree that was still standing in the backyard. They kept to the schedule, they communicated well and they cleaned up afterwards. I work with a lot of contractors... most of whom are average or even sub-par. Brian's Tree Service exceeded my expectations. I made the right choice with them for sure."
"I was very satisfied with the service from Robert Tree Service. He cut 25 trees for me. He arrived when he said he would arrive and did the work we agreed upon."
"A large branch about halfway up on a ~75' oak tree came down and damaged one of the two surrounding trees in my front yard. We decided to remove all 3 trees and called around for quotes. Terry was very responsive; called me back the same evening, came out the next day, and gave me a quote over the phone. His price was one of the lowest of 5 companies we got quotes from, and he was the only one that would remove the stump grindings. When I got all my quotes, I called Terry back and agreed upon the price and schedule over the phone. Terry and his crew came out on the scheduled day at 8:30AM and worked efficiently to cut down and remove the 3 trees in one day. They also removed the debris and cleaned up the yard. They came back the next day and in a few hours ground down the stumps and removed the grindings. Overall, they did a great job and I would recommend them to anyone needing tree services."
"I requested a quote from a few professionals that were recommended through the Home Advisor website. Robert’s Tree Service responded to my request within sixty seconds. It was after four thirty in the evening when we spoke yet he agreed to come by that same day to look at the job. He gave me his estimate within ten minutes. The job was “weather dependent” and when the day came i doubted he would be able to do it. Shockingly he came out as agreed and had the job finished by the time i got home. His promptness and professionalism are top tier. 100 out of 100 recommend this company"
"They did a great job trimming the tree and at a very reasonable price, but unfortunately the vehicle they used for the job left large motor oil stains on my concrete driveway."
"Initially I was looking for someone to repair a couple things outside. Shawn came with 4 other people to do the repairs and ended up doing yardwork and staining for me."
"They did an excellent job installing a brick patio and planter for a very reasonable price. They came when they said they would and did the job in in a very short time frame because they have the proper equipment and sufficient skilled workers who work together efficiently and in harmony to produce a beautiful result. The owner Jason is a very nice person, easy to work with, planning for the project and producing the expected final result."
Coverage varies quite a bit by policy, but most homeowners' insurance policies will cover $500 to $1,000 of the cost of removing a tree. Additionally, if your tree causes damage to your property, like your house, many policies will cover some or all of the costs to repair the damage, depending on why the tree fell.
Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.
Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.
Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.
The cost of professional tree trimming averages $460, with a typical range between $200 and $760. However, prices can be as low as $75 or as high as $1,800 depending on several factors. The size and type of the tree are major cost drivers; for example, trimming Crepe Myrtle trees costs an average of $80 to $400, while trimming giant pine trees can range from $200 to $1,800. Other factors that influence the price include the time of year, as services are often more costly in the spring. The tree's accessibility and your location also play a role, as a remote or hard-to-reach tree may increase the cost. Some professionals may offer a discount if you have multiple trees to trim.
