"I have priced between 3 Angie's List's recommended arborists, and found Grant's to be the best value for the job sought. One company was unable to do stump grinding, while the third company was twice as much. His crew were professionally trained, and was able to complete the job the same day in two hours flat. The reason being was due to having the best equipment on hand including a cherry-picker, a grinder truck, and appropriate power tools. Their cleanup was equally as amazing, as they cleaned up as they went along the task and it was as if they never came. The pile of chips left from the stump grinding was the only clue that they were even there! I would hire them in a heartbeat. Daniel M. Grove City, OH"

"When I called for a quote, he came within a day. Being very busy, I was told it might even be 6 weeks. They called me last night and said they could do it this morning at 8. So that was only a week. They were prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and fast. The arborist also told me that the tree did not need cabling which saved me some money! We also discussed what I will do in the future. They cleaned up the yard upon completion. I will use them again!"

"Very personable and clear about detail of the work. Came the next day and got the tree cut down and the stump mulched before noon! Matched the best price of other bids as well. Excellent service!"

"Hoffman and his crew did a great job. I had two trees and a few bushes removed, stumps removed and several trees trimmed. Everyone I met was polite and professional, worked safely, and cleaned up when they were done. I couldn't be happier with the results!"

"We had a large tree fall due to Helena. They were prompt in responding to my call and got us scheduled right away. They did an amazing job removing the tree, cleaning up after, even going above and beyond by replacing some cinder blocks used for landscaping that were displaced when the tree hit them. Very reasonably priced. I highly recommend them!"

"Outstanding experience with these guys. Came out to the house to submit a bid for tree trimming on 3 large trees that were diseased and dropping limbs onto my shed with some getting close to the house. The price was exceptional compared to the other bids I received. He and his crew were out the next day. The impression he gave me made me talk to two of my neighbors about it and they ended up hiring him as well. The work quality was exactly what I expected and their clean up afterwards was spectacular. The two climbers were exceptional at personal safety and dropping huge limbs with impressive care and accuracy. One of the climbers was quite a character and cracked me up with his communications to the ground crew. The work they did for my neighbors was equally good. I highly recommend them."

"Professional from start to finish. Amber reached me by phone to arrange an estimate. She arrived within 2 hours and thoroughly explained pricing, what was required and how the job would be handled. We agreed to the terms and within 3 hours they were onsite removing the damaged tree. The job was quick, staff professional, and clean up was great. They even removed a 6 foot shrub at no additional charge. They also have a senior discount which is very helpful. First contact to the job completed, was less than 9 hours. I will use again and highly recommend."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

The best plan of action for an unhealthy or unsafe tree will depend on its condition. An arborist can recommend whether trimming or removal is the right call for your tree. Preventive tree trimming can keep trees safe and healthy, so make regular tree trimming a part of your yard maintenance plan.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.
