"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!"

"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."

"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

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

Signs include dead branches, growth over structures, diseases, pests, or roots impacting hardscapes.

The Christmas tree type that smells the best to you will ultimately depend on personal preference. But if that classic Christmas tree smell is important to you, choosing a type of tree known for its scent is a safe bet. Try a balsam fir for a spicy, comforting scent or a Douglas fir for a sweeter smell. You may also like Fraser firs, Scotch pines, and blue spruces.
