"I had an 8"-10" diameter limb on a giant pin-oak that had spanned over my roof (also: I have a very tall house). It was a true "widow-maker" of a limb. I had 5 arborists come and bid the job, and they were very nervous, and the price was pretty high. First Choice didn't bat an eye, and their bid was the lowest by several hundred dollars. At first, I was very hesitant to accept such a low offer; but I used some AI tools to analyze comments and reviews across several sites, and the only negative comment found was that they once removed the "wrong" tree. I decided to give them a chance, and I was VERY pleased. These guys are no joke. They did a fantastic job from start to finish. I will definitely hire them again and will be recommending them to anyone who needs some tree-work done."

"The service turned out well. My mother had an emergency and I was called to her side so I could not be there during the time of work. They were at my house without supervision. They also came two hours earlier than I asked. They came in the morning instead of the afternoon and did not call ahead to confirm the appointment. It was disjointed how everything worked out. They did some of the clean up I asked about, but I don't think they were professional landscapers. The man told me he was a certified Arborist but when I asked if he would trim my Forsythia, he did not know what I was referring to. However, I agreed for him to do the work and hoped for the best. They used a chain saw to trim the bushes and you can tell. They also made my Dog Wood Tree look like a lollipop instead of what it should look like. They did not clean up well and they were sloppy. They only did half the house but not the other half. They completely forgot to work on my rose bush. I would not hire them again because I felt like I had to clean up after their mess. There was also a lot of mulch missing in the flower beds and I have to replace it myself. I was disappointed with the deal."
Planting a palm tree close to your home can provide shade while elevating the beauty of your yard. However, there are a few safety concerns to consider before doing so. You’ll want to opt for a smaller tree with a non-invasive root system. Select a species that won’t grow too tall and choose a planting location that won’t damage your home.
There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task.
We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed.
Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.
Early signs that a tree is struggling include premature leaf shedding and lesions or other strange markings. Peeling bark, dead or rotten branches on the ground, and a conspicuous lack of leaves can all be signs that a tree has started to die. By the time a tree starts leaning, it’s usually too far gone to save.
Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.
