"I couldn't believe how fast they got the cut down and what a great job they did cleaning up. I give those guys alot of credit for what they do, the day they cut my tree down was so very hot! I couldn't do that. That heat was terrible! If you need any tree work done I would recommend them they were reasonable in price and they did a wonderful job."

"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"

"The crew that removed my old 60 foot high tree carefully took it down with precision and care, the tree what chipped on site and the crew cleaned up so nicely, the experience was a pleasure from the beginning until completed. This company was so professional and friendly, they explained everything. My wife is so happy how clean they left the yard.. we got two thee estimates and these guys beat both of the other quotes. Could not have asked for more. Thanks, Guys!"

"John of Plymouth Nursery and Landscaping and his staff were wonderful. They did a terrific job cleaning up my property and planting all new beautiful shrubs and plants. Also installed a system to help with my water problem. My property was in desperate need of a face lift and John and his crew came through. I would recommend Plymouth Nursery and Landscaping!"

"Alan was great! Came quickly and provided a very competitive quote for quite a bit of spring cleanup (2019). He also stayed in touch via phone and email until the job was done to my satisfaction. The crew that came was hardworking and efficient with their tasks. They moved expertly and delicately through a variety of mature landscaping. I?ll definitely reach out to FJP again when I?m ready for my next service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

Trees should be pruned every two to five years, depending on its age and type. Young trees should be inspected and pruned every two to three years. Mature trees should be inspected and trimmed every three to five years, and fruit trees should be pruned annually with a careful eye on seasonal growth. Evergreens typically don’t need pruning, unless branches or limbs are damaged, diseased, or harboring pests.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.
