"Ray Troyer is just AMAZING! His crew is fabulous! Everyone was polite, professional, and took care to not damage the yard or house. They cleaned everything up and were careful to make sure there were no dangerous branches hanging. They took down 5 trees and cut-up two separate trees that had already fallen in TWO HOURS! I still can't believe how fast and efficient they worked! Also, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Ray is the brother-in-law to Ben Miller, (Trucoat Painting) who painted my house and also did a GREAT job! I would highly recommend both! Very professional and very nice! I will be using them again. Many thanks Ray!"

"This was, by far, one of the best experiences. They were very professional; kept me updated on time, etc,BUT what sets the apart from all others is tge job they did. Just incredible. I had just moved in to a rental, but I wanted the house to look clean and well taken care of. There were some weeds taller than the windows. There was Poison Ivy and all those weeds were choking out any good plants. They cleaned it all out, cut trees, removed bushes, trimmed bushes, raked the flower beds and hauled it all away. 7 hrs of work! I cannot say enough great things about this company. There are a few more bushes I'd like taken out, but need to get the landlords permission first. If that happens, i will definitely contact Set Apart Tree."

"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

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). 

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.

Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.
