"Needed large number of overgrown shrubs (basically trees) removed from our backyard, with limited space to navigate. Brian assessed the project, gave us a very reasonable estimate for the job, and when his crew came on site, we were truly amazed at the speed, expertise and thoroughness they demonstrated in completing the job in record time, including removing all of the debris, grinding the stumps for over 20 shrubs and a small cherry tree, cutting up the trunk of the tree for us to store for firewood, and even removing two smaller shrubs and trimming a few branches from a Japanese maple from the front of our house for no additional charge. Neighbors were so impressed one neighbor behind us hired him to remove a tree overhanging our property and another in the neighborhood asked for his contact info to hire him based on his work at our property. Would highly recommend as knowledgeable, responsive, extremely reasonably priced and with a fast, very expert, conscientious crew."
"S & A Lawn Care is great to work with! They are very professional, compassionate and passionate about their work and take great pride in the service they provide. They are very easy to work with and have been a lifesaver for me! So glad I was able to find them!"
"Ezra and his crew were very prompt and diligent with their work. I will not say his price was the cheapest, but when they are done with the work, you realize why you donâ  t want to cut corners and go with the cheapest option offered. They were very sociable when I came out from the house, which is not the most common from my experiences over the years. They went above and beyond to make sure my mulching looked professionally done and boy did that â  Wowâ  my neighbors. Will definitely be looking to use his services again in the future!"
"I recently hired D&M Tree Service to remove a large oak tree that fell across my yard. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and professional. Daniel provided a fair and honest estimate the same day I called, and his team arrived promptly on the scheduled day. Despite the snow and cold temperatures on February 15th, they were efficient and worked quickly, removing the tree and cleaning up all the debris. They even went the extra mile and disposed of patio furniture that was damaged by the tree. I was very impressed with their professionalism, attention to detail, and overall work ethic. I highly recommend D&M Tree Service for any tree removal needs in DuBois."

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.
Palm trees aren’t much different than your typical tree removal. Removing a palm tree is a standard procedure as long as pros have the proper tools and supplies. For DIYers, however, there are some risks associated with palm tree removal. Palm trees have spiky fronds, bark, and patches of hefty wood. So, it’s best to let an experienced tree service pro remove a palm tree.
There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.
Coverage varies quite a bit by policy, but most homeowners' insurance policies will cover $500 to $1,000 of the cost of removing a tree. Additionally, if your tree causes damage to your property, like your house, many policies will cover some or all of the costs to repair the damage, depending on why the tree fell.
While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.
