"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."

"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."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

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.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.
