"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."
"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 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."
"Set Apart Tree Service is now our go to tree service. They do an outstanding job and are very knowledgeable! We have spoken to our neighbors about them and we will be giving them more work in the spring. Further, our neighbors will most likely join with us and do their work and ours at the same time. On top of the top notch work, they are very nice!"
"The crew was polite and took the time to check with me on the trimming of my weeping cherry tree. The service was on time and were fast in getting things accomplished. Four stars all around. Would definitely recommend them to any one who would ask. Too bad they did not have a yard sign to leave behind in the front yard."
"Robert and his crew were exceptional, Due to the weather he kept us informed as to when he would do the job. the weather turned out nice he called and came to do the job as promised. His crew cleaned up so well, we could not stop thanking them. they cut down 4 trees removed all debris, put the gate back I highly recommend his service you will not be disappointed. I will hire them again. Great work . The price was reasonable."
"My neighbor has a very large evergreen tree very close to the boundary. This past year lightening has struck it and twice it dropped very large limbs, damaging my fence. I met Travis of Kustom Trim Tree Service early this spring, when his crew came out to fix the damage. They pruned off the branches that hung over my property and then pruned two additional trees in my yard. I realized the guy I had been using only â trimmedâ the trees which meant he had to come out more often, costing me more money. Travisâ crew properly pruned the trees and I probably will never have to address that issue again. I had some plans for my yard. His crew came out again and removed two rather large and rather dead evergreen bushes from my front yard. Another guy came out and ground out the roots. The crew returned again to mulch my yard. I picked out the replacement bushes and Travis purchased them through his greenhouse connection. The crew came out one final time and planted them. When all was said and done, the final job went far beyond my expectations and vision for my yard. I am just amazed and really pleased and satisfied with the job. My yard really has that â professionalâ look now. His crew is very professional and very personable. I enjoyed chatting with them and learned from them. I am a retired senior citizen and itâ s always nice to find a company you can really trust. That would be Travis and Kustom Trim Tree Service. I would never hesitate to recommend him to anyone."

Trimming a tree can take anywhere from just two hours to a full day, depending on the age of the tree, the number of trees, and the species. Young trees are generally easier to trim, as their branches are often thinner in diameter and easier to reach compared to mature trees. They also tend to be healthier. If you haven’t trimmed your trees before or it’s been a while, the process could take even longer.
For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.
You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.
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.
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.
