"We used Tim to routinely prune our Bradford Pear tree which is cabled and has been well taken care of for thirty-five years. The cost of removing the tree would have been thousands of dollars, so we kept having Tim come out to take care of it. We ended up going with another arborist who was able to prune the tree for $500 when Tim had quoted us $800 for the same job. Tim is truly an arborist who does an excellent job of shaping and pruning trees who is considered a specialist. He is wonderful and was always on site himself to start and finish the job doing a great job of cleaning up."

"Alex Tree Service did a fantastic job of removing 4 large trees that were close to my house. One of the best experiences that I have had with a contractor ever. I would highly recommend Alex Tree Service. I was going to have them come back next year; however, I will have them return a few weeks to remove more trees and stump removal"

"Everything went well with this job, from when we initiated contact with the company's rep to the final day of work with the crew that came out. They were professional, clean, efficient and catered to my needs. It was a crew of three workmen and they were not loud or disturbing in any way. There wasn't a day that went by that they did not clean up after themselves. I requested that they dig up some of my perennials that I wanted to save to transplant and they were happy to help. I had used them for work in my front yard and because they did such a nice job, I called them again to complete the work in my back yard. I would highly recommend Plymouth Nursery for any hardscaping needs."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.

In the short term, you’ll have a lot of fallen trees to deal with. Tree removal services costs typically start at $200 per tree and increase based on species and size. Then, you’ll have to deal with the loss of trees: That means a loss of shade and a greater risk of rain runoff and erosion. Also, you’ll miss out on the health and aesthetic benefits of having trees on your property, which could even affect the resale value of your home.

That being said, cutting down a tree it’s not always a bad idea. Trees growing too close to rooftops can present fire hazards or debris problems. You may need to remove diseased or dying trees to prevent future issues.

Not every arborist climbs trees, but most will do so if that’s the best method for assessing or treating a tree. Arborists have a variety of tree climbing gear and safety equipment to choose from when climbing trees. Consult your local arborist about their tree-climbing plan if your service requires that type of task.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.
