Customers say: True professional

"I called about five different tree companies and was not able to find someone as professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and reliable, as MV Tree Removal & Hauling Services. Manuel responded very quickly, sent photos of the job that needed to be done and explained everything ahead of time so we knew what to expect. I greatly appreciate what a wonderful job they did. It was frustrating looking for someone to help and not getting a response. Manuel and his team went to the property and took care of everything. They worked quickly, diligently, and very efficient. Not only did they cut the tree and remove what was needed, they picked it up and they didn’t leave a chaotic mess. It was so well done that I wanted the company I work for to pay because of how great they were!!! I would highly recommend MV Tree Removal & Hauling Services. We plan to use him for more jobs in the future. Thank you for all your help, Manuel! We appreciate you!!!"

"Nick took the time to fully understand what I wanted done and explained how I could achieve that while also keeping my tree healthy. His crew was prompt, thorough and very respectful. I will use him again in the future as it is so hard to find people who do what they say they are going to do."

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.

If you ever want to see the literal fruits of your labor, you’ll need to prune your peach trees. Without pruning, the trees may not grow or bear fruit since the nutrients will be divided among too many offshoots to provide any with enough energy to produce the peaches. Plus, if parts of the peach tree become diseased or pest-ridden, pruning can nip those problems in the bud.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment. 

While the trees in your backyard are good for the environment and look beautiful, they could present a danger to your home under the wrong circumstances. This task is typically beyond the capabilities of the average homeowner due to its dangerous nature, so it’s best to leave this task to a professional. In some cities, it’s even illegal to remove a tree yourself.
