"The estimate was a good discussion. He's an Arborist which was really helpful. The work was fast and the next day. The workers friendly and responsive to a request I made. They cleaned up the yard well. Looking forward to the stump-grinding which is scheduled. Thank you very much!"

"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."

"JEFF AND TAMMY ARE THE BEST EVER! CALLED ON A FRIDAY TO GET A QUOTE ON REMOVAL AND STUMP GRINDING OF SOME 35 YEAR-OLD SHRUBS THAT HAD BECOME EXTREMELY OVER-GROWN. THEY GAVE ME A QUOTE QUICKLY, AND SET ME UP WITH AN APPOINTMENT THAT *MONDAY*! THEY CAME OVER EARLY, DID AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB ALL-AROUND AND WERE GONE IN LESS THAN 2 HOURS. IN THESE TIMES OF HORRIBLE SERVICE PROVIDED IN ALL SPECTRUMS OF WORK, THIS COMPANY IS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"

"Second job he has done for us and as before very efficient and had plenty of help. Knows his stuff and has excellent safety measures place for all his workers. I would highly recommend. He had to have a crane at one of the sites and got into a very small space between houses. I would have him do any job"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

Grinding down a tree helps reduce the risk of foundation damage and pests and even helps your home’s curb appeal. Stumps can also be a safety hazard. If grass grows above the stump and someone else mows your yard, they may be in for a rude awakening when they accidentally hit it.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

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.
