"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!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The average tree pruning should take one hour with the right equipment. Light pruning of a small tree may only take around 15 to 20 minutes. Pruning multiple large trees in your yard will probably take several hours, including cleanup. However, tree pruning pros can do this job much faster, so you can rely on pros if you’re short on time.

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.

Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they’re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

No, you cannot throw branches from your neighbor’s tree back into their yard, nor can you discard leaves or other plant matter that originated from their yard back over there if it happens to land in your yard. You are responsible for cleaning up plant matter that made its way into your yard.
