"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!"

"Amber was very friendly and helpful. She quoted me to drop a tree in a tricky spot and I'd clean up and keep the wood. We agreed they would cut pieces down to about three feet. The original day they were scheduled got delayed due to rain, they attempted to top the tree the next day with guy that was pretty green.. and rescheduled again due to winds . The third day they brought an expert and he topped the tree quickly. They did cut up some of the brush but left very large pieces including an 8 ft by 3 ft trunk. When I asked to cut it smaller, they said they wont cut it unless they are hauling it away. Overall I'm happy with the service but it was a bit more clean up than I expected. I would use them again."

"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 are very pleased with the work Mike and his crew did on removing some very large limbs from our Maple trees and taking down a very large dead Ash tree. They were friendly, courteous and very professional! It was a hot and humid day, but it didn't slow them down. They left our backyard as though nothing had happened and the price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend this team for all your tree needs."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.

Removing tree stumps is a dangerous and complex job that requires a high level of expertise. Many landscapers specialize in general lawn care and maintenance. But, some may have the proper licensing and qualifications needed to safely remove tree stumps. In most cases, though, landscapers will refer you to a local tree removal or stump grinding company.

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.
