"George and his crew were on time and did a great job. When they left the yard looked the same as it was when they got there. They were about 70 feet tall and crew a great job. Would hire them again in a heartbeat and will again this fall for my Bradford tree in front yard."

"Two "recommended" companies were contacted before ArborTech. One responded to an email through their website but then would not schedule an estimate. The second came out and looked at the job, said they would send an estimate that night and never did, then would not reply. David came out the night I put an inquiry on Angi. He told me what needed done, gave me an estimate and told me he wanted the job. This involved some 70ft cherry trees overhanging or leaning at my house which were a grave concern. They did removal and trim backs on all the trees that needed it; and opened up my entire backyard. They also cleaned everything up neatly. I would highly recommend Arbor Tech and not hesitate to call them again."

"Highly recommend 1st Choice! We had two trees removed and some trimming done on some others. The pricing is fair and they knocked the job out quickly! I am very happy with the work and will be using them again in the future."

"Very happy with the work done on my property. The tree removal team removed a large old Redbud tree that was very dead inside threatening to fall on my home. Been putting it off for years because I didn’t want to loose the tree. The have been a reasonable estimate. two days later….job complete. Stump ground. They even brought in some dirt for me to level everything out including another area. Planted some grass seed and covered with straw. Nothing left for me but not water and get the grass growing. Thanks to the team for getting this off my list of things to do."

"Look no further, this is the BEST TREE SERVICE you will find. Brandon did an amazing job. He was very personable,professional and knowledgeable. Brandon arrived when he said they were going to arrive and when they left you would have never known they were there, until you saw your trees were missing, that's how well they cleaned up. I would recommend Brandon to anyone looking to get trees removed or trimmed. Brandon will do any future job I need completed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

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%.
