"Brian provided estimate in February 2018. Advised us to wait till leaves were on the tree. Crew arrived on 6/7/2018 on time. Crew was extremely efficient and hard working with two climbers in the tree. Completed work in one day. All debris was chipped and hauled away, leaving our property neat and clean with no damage to landscaping. Brian was great to work with and the bid was very reasonable considering the complexity of the job. I would recommend them them unconditionally."

"I absolutely love this company and their employees!!  We have called them at least 3 times and if I could afford it, I'd call them again!
  We live at the end of a dead end street and  there are trees on all 3 sides of our house.  They were getting pretty large and our house was starting to feel like a cave.  I got permission from the surrounding neighbors to cut some trees .  
   After my phone call, the estimator was here the same day.  I was slightly vague on whether certain trees needed to come down (depended on access) , but he was quite flexible about options.  
  The crew came the following week (This was back in November 2014)  Might have been 5-6 guys, exactly on time, with a giant chipper.  They were an absolute joy to watch:  very precision work and very careful to avoid having limbs hit fences or structures. They climbed the trees and roped the tops or the limbs so the pieces would drop in the right location.  Very respectful of the neighbors' property.  I loved watching them in action.  You can tell they are all professional loggers.   They cut the trunk wood into rounds.  Used the chipper for the branches.  They were very helpful with last minute decisions about trimming versus eliminating something, and planning ahead for future plantings or cuttings.  Jason even went out of his way to talk to one of the neighbors about some trees on their property.  They probably cut down 12-15 trees in about 7 hours.  Our house and yard are much lighter.  Cleanup was outstanding.  The bill for that day was around $3000.  
     Last month, we hired them for removal of some dead trees at the beach.  They drove out from Portland and arrived before sunrise!!  Same result:  precision work with a great group of men who were very helpful and efficient.  They dropped trees that were a hazard.  Some were left to compost naturally, and some were cut into rounds for future firewood.  The bill for that day was around $2000 (included drive time to/ from Portland).  
   The company has arborist services available as well.  We have not yet asked for that help, but I met the arborist (Lorin) and he is quite knowledgeable and helpful.  
   I don't know what other companies charge.  Tree removal is costly, no matter who does it, which is why I gave them a "good" instead of "excellent" on pricing.  Based on their name, I suspect that I maybe should have checked "excellent" but I have no way of comparing prices.  This is only company I have ever called or would ever use.  ve

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it’s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate.

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.
