"Arborist who came out to quote the project was very knowledgeable and made feel comfortable about the project. The men who came out to remove the tree and trim 2 other trees were great, really knew what they were doing. All of the work was top notch. However they did not communicate very well. Make sure you ask will everything be done the same day, as I had my tree removed, then 6 days later the main tree approx 10 ft long removed from my front long and then another 4 days until the stump was grinded. I wanted to know when people would be coming to my house because my grand daughter lives with us."

"I don't usually write reviews but in this case a 5 star review is more than deserved. Tony returned my call immediately about stump removal, did a rough estimate of the project based on pictures I sent him, came out within a day, and completed the job expeditiously, and all for the very reasonable price he suggested over the phone - He even cut down and cut to firewood length fifteen or so foot tall ash stub he saw nearby and did that stump at no extra cost. To top it all off he gave me some excellent advice about how to treat the grindings before planting grass."

"I'm happy to be free of mice! My only complaint is that we could not schedule the follow-up visits while the technician was here...I had to call and leave a message and have the call returned in order to schedule a time for them to come back. It's a small business without a administrative assistant to answer phones and keep a calendar. However, the owner and his team know about bugs and critters and how to eliminate them, so I think I've found my exterminator."

"When I met with Sean, he explained everything that was needed to remove the diseased trees then told me to check the info on the internet before committing to any company. He also showed me all his insurance forms. This made me feel more secure in hiring his company. The pricing was comparable to other estimates, but the time he spent making sure that I understood the process was invaluable. I strongly recommend Brennan Trees to anyone who is a novice in landscape maintenance."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

The lifespan of a bird's nest depends on the species. The building process can take from two days to three weeks. Once built, the nesting period for baby birds can last from two to ten weeks before they leave the nest. While most young birds are ready in two to six weeks, some predatory species may need up to two and a half months. Some species nest four to five times per year, so a nest could remain in use for several months. For specific information about a particular nest's longevity, it is best to consult a wildlife professional.

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.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations.
