"Great professional tree removal. Skillfully removed 4 trees on my property while being considerate of my neighbors. Reasonable pricing and came when they said they would. Did an excellent job cleaning up and cutting the wood I wanted to keep. Will definitely be calling them for future tree projects."

"I got several quotes for trimming and/or removing a large Silver Maple in our backyard, and the quotes were way expensive for our budget. Parkway came in with a reasonable quote to trim both the Silver Maple and the Oak in our backyard. They did professional arborist work, excellent clean up/removing debris and they were the friendliest people I've met in the tree business! Hire Parkway! You won't regret it. They truly care for both trees and their customers!"

"July 9, 2023 The tree removal project on my property in my opinion, separates the tree cutters from the tree surgeons. A 60 plus foot tree (honey maple), with a bifurcating trunk diameter of 36 to 40 inches, and branches—thin and thick, extending 40 feet around, and over my house required expert attention and skill. All of the previous tree contractors I interviewed required rigging and roping procedures. Ken Fisher III—LumberJack Tree Service took the job and performed it himself with his thirteen year old son supervising on July 8, 2023. His pricing was great, a thousand plus dollars cheaper than his competitors. His communication skills were straight forward and dependable. Ken Fisher of LumberJack Tree Service is at the prime of his chosen profession. And at the level of a tree surgeon, not just a tree cutter. His skill level in my opinion, incorporates three tree removal specialists. Ken Fisher III is a one man crew of three. He brought his thirteen year old son, Ken the 4th (they really like the name Ken) to supervise and make sure that his dad doesn't slack off. Ken the 4th, is fortunate to have a dad like Ken the 3rd. I don’t need years of experience in the tree removal business, to assess and determine when a professional is at the top of his craft. I have enough life experience to qualify me. It was exciting and a joy watching Ken perform his expertise, never compromising safety. Roque Lachica Jr. Hometown, PA"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

Most tree surgeons cost around $100 per hour or between $70 and $200 per hour for their services. You might get flat fees for more straightforward services, like a tree assessment, tree removal, stump grinding, and one-off treatments, but many times, treatments for tree diseases or pests will be charged based on an hourly rate or a per-visit rate. Since the cost of a tree surgeon can vary widely, it’s best to speak with an arborist near you to get an idea of what your particular issue will cost to correct.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.
