"Scott was great. Excellent response time, communication and quality of work. Highly recommend to anyone looking for tree work (especially solutions to difficult problems)."
"Working with Mid-Valley Excavation was an excellent experience. They took the time to come out and give a thorough bid inspection. They spent a good amount of time talking to us, listening to our wishes and needs and discussing project scope and requirements. They delivered a bid quickly and they were very responsive to follow-up questions and concerns. Their work is great, the end result was above and beyond my expectations. They were quick, efficient, and work with an attention to detail. It was a pleasure working with them. I would hire them again for future projects."
"Alex and his crew were very timely and remove 2 very tall leaning trees taking care to protect shrubs and an overhanging power to the house. All Brush was removed and the site was left very clean. I would highly recommend them and will definitely call them for any future tree work."
"It took most of three days to cut down, separate branches from trunks, chip the branches and cut the trunks. The crew took three loads of chips, twigs and needles to the land fill. The yard hasn't been this clean in several years! Thank you Team Powers!"
"You couldn't have any branches within 30 feet from your house.They cleared a bunch of trees from the driveway so that firefighters could get up. It's a government program. Certain things have to be done. They have to cut a certain distance for fire danger. They did what they were supposed to. When Gerald came out, he passed it right away. I thought they did a pretty good job.They came out when they were supposed to. What stood out about their service is well, it passed. They did what they were supposed to. It's a government program, so the inspector came up. You had to pay the company; he'd come up, okay it. Then, you hand the government invoice and then they send you a check within five weeks for the work that was done, but you paid. It had to be OK'd. The government, they come up and tell you, okay this is what we will pay for doing this job, I think it was a thousand dollars for this job. So, they just said yeah we can do it for that and they did it for that and it passed the first time. They did the job in one day. They cleaned up after themselves. They didn't drop anything on the house or break anything."
"He was professional and very helpful assessing our trees and property and answering our questions . Wouldn’t hesitate to use him again or give him a good recommendation."

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.
Trimming a tree can take anywhere from just two hours to a full day, depending on the age of the tree, the number of trees, and the species. Young trees are generally easier to trim, as their branches are often thinner in diameter and easier to reach compared to mature trees. They also tend to be healthier. If you haven’t trimmed your trees before or it’s been a while, the process could take even longer.
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.
Peach trees grow to be about 25 feet, so keep this in mind for pruning as well. If you plan to DIY, you’ll need to be comfortable working on a ladder. Without pruning, peach tree branches can sprawl nearly as wide as the tree grows tall, so make sure to plan pruning sessions at least once per year in the spring for controlled growth. And if you’re working on a ladder, be sure to follow all safety precautions, especially if you’ll be dealing with falling branches.
In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.
