"Excellent! Im impressed. Jose was very reasonably priced, easy to work with and prompt. Great communication. He bid a job on a Thursday morning and scheduled it for the following Tuesday. He then called the next day to bump it up to Monday to beat the impeding storm. He confirmed mid day Sunday. Jose and his crew were on the job by 8 a.m. and off the job around 12:30. They left the wood shavings from the stump and mostly 18 inch fireplace wood per my request. I saved a few 100 dollars this way. I moved the wood and did the rest of the cleanup myself as I felt his price was more than fair. Basically, they were on the job by 8 a.m. Monday and by Tuesday 1.p.m. I had the rest of the work tackled. Well worth it. I'm near 56 with a bad back and I was able to do the cleanup and save huge. Jose was willing to have his crew gather up and stack the wood where I wanted and rake up the debris included in his bid but again, I felt I got a square deal so I was more than happy to finish up. A couple last things. Jose privided proof of license insurance. As well, Jose was very knowledgeable as to why the tree needed to come down do to being compromised from prior improper pruning allowing water access to a low crotch causing internal rot. The tree would have eventually split and one side would have crushed our house. Fact. His crew actually wrecked a long chain when they hit a couple pieces of rebar encapsulated in the middle of the trunk and refused to accept my payment for the destroyed chain. I can't say enough. Do not fear this company, just hire them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

A tree can split because of high winds, a change in temperature, or from an infestation or tree disease. All of these factors can overlap, making a single cause difficult to pinpoint. While winter storms are some of the most common causes for a tree to split, it can also happen because of termites or rot.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an “Angi Approved” badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.
