"First choice crew came this morning as promised. Had 3 large maple trees to be trimmed down which were all located close to and overhanging my neighbors house. The crew expertly dropped every limb in a small area safely away from the building. Would recommend this company to anyone who wants a professional job from beginning to clean up at a very reasonable price"

"Wonderful! I will only use J and J tree service for my yard. This is the second big job they have completed for us and not only do they do an excellent job, but Richard is knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to fix other landscaping issues I have without me even asking! I highly recommend and will use over and over!"

"Joel Miller responded to our request to remove 2 large trees and brush (leaving the wood), and grind 3 large stumps. His estimate was HALF of the quotes provided by others! Joel's performance was AMAZING!!! He worked alone on our project and never stopped until everything was done. He is a one-man professional who did it all and appeared tireless! He worked in 98+ degree heat and 100% humidity, he climbed, cut, dropped each tree with accuracy and impressive "ease". He even removed and raked up the sawdust in the yard, leaving it ready for grass seed, and cut the remaining wood to 18" lengths, thereby helping our son as he was taking the wood for firewood. Joel simply did a highly professional and stunning job. This young man is deserving of YOUR business. He is beginning his own company and will work just as tirelessly for you. If you are looking for reasonable pricing, a hard worker, and a top-notch professional, use Joel Miller. He also does other landscape jobs and I'm sure he does those just as professionally."

"Joe did an excellent job removing two large maples and trimming limbs on others. He also pointed out potential problems on other trees and those that did not need attention. All work was done neatly and sooner than expected. Very professional, organized, and responsive."

"They showed up when they told me they would and went right to work. It had been about 5 years since anything had been washed; the deck was discolored from pollen and vegetation dropping on it and one side if the house had greenish mold on it; they got all of it completely clean and restored to its original color. They even got the gutters white again. Excellent work!"

"I hired John and I cannot recommend him enough! Great estimate, timely, and did above and beyond what was expected. His team was respectful a d his price was very fair. I recommend him to anyone to has a tree or exterior lawn job. John removed a substantial Large Maple tree that was covering half of my homes roof, and ground the stump. He took out 2 overgrown 20â arborvitaes, 2 large pine trees and 30-40 year old shrubs. I was very impressed with the results, thank you John."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.

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.

Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

Talking with a septic pro before planting trees near your tank is best to ensure the roots won’t interfere with your septic system. However, there is an easy way to figure out where to plant a tree—but you’ll need to know how tall it can get when it’s fully grown. For instance, if the tree can reach 50 feet, plant it at least 50 feet from your septic system.
