"The crew arrived on time and began working to cut down two large Maple trees on my property. They worked quickly and efficiently. Cleaned up the wood chips and left the yard in great shape. I have used this company in the past and will do so in the future if needed. Highly recommend MS Tree Service."

"They gave a quote on Saturday. On Monday they called back to check, and I said I wanted them to do the job. They came the NEXT DAY. They removed a 90 foot tree from my backyard, using a crane to move it piece by piece to the front, chipped the branches and had everything cleaned up and were gone in jist over 2 hours. Very pleasant people, even allowed me to split the payment in half. When we are ready to get the next tree taken down I will DEFINITELY call them again."

"So happy that I hired Cedarwood Tree Service, they were so easy to work with and very professional. Gave me a few options and explained each one in its entirety so that I was able to choose the option best for me. They did a great job on removing 2 trees that I needed out of my yard. Thank you Cedarwood!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on tree height, trunk diameter, removal complexity, and required equipment.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

Often, it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to handle the aftermath when a neighbor’s tree falls on their property. But if a tree has been obviously dead for a significant period of time and caused damage when it fell, a case can be made that the owner should have removed it, especially if the neighbor wrote you a letter about the tree or asked you to take it down. This can be grounds for a successful lawsuit in claims court and is a good reason to always pay attention to your trees and remove dead trees before they fall.

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.
