"From estimate to payment for job well done - all IN ONE DAY. I watched the team work at a neighbor's house and I noticed the way they carried themselves and worked together. They seemed focused and efficient and did a great job - safely. No noted mishaps; and believe me, I watched closely. The men looked, behaved, and spoke professionally and courteously. Equipment was clean and obviously well maintained, further indicating the professional orientation of the team. Mr. Holman was knowledgeable and willing to educate this non-arborist homeowner about the health of my one tree, which I really want to keep. Every one of my concerns were appropriately addressed prior to starting and the job was completed and completely cleaned up within 2 hours. I am thoroughly impressed. They did what they said they would do, when they said they would do it, for the price quoted. That is hard to come by these days. I highly recommend Holman Tree Service!"

"JJ and his helper, Nia, did a fantastic job of cutting down and removing a very large dead tree from my yard. They took their time to ensure they didn't get hurt and didn't damage my house and swimming pool area. I will be contacting Burlton Landscapes and Tree for any work in my yard that comes up in the future I would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for any type of tree work."

"Had some trees that had grown over my roof and over the electric line. Some of the branches had fallen and laying on the electric line. They came out and got them cut and removed. Cleaned up after themselves. They did an awesome job at a very reasonable price. Would recommend them to anyone."

"Got an estimate on overgrown bushes that previous owners had. Nunn came & gave me an estimate the day I called. After a few weeks I called Nunn to schedule and they were able to stop by on the way to another job. It was SO quick! Literally all of the bushes/branches (on both sides of yard) were cut down and hauled away within 30 minutes! I paid the same amount that I was quoted a few weeks prior. I would definitely recommend Nunn. I am already thinking of what else I want removed just because they were so quick & efficient."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It’s possible, although a lot depends on the cause of damage and what steps you take. If the remaining parts of the maple tree are alive and not under attack by disease or pests, they can often be saved even if large portions of the maple tree have died. Frequent watering, careful pruning, mulch, and any recommended fungicides or insecticides can all help with survival.

Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.

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.

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.

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.
