"They were very professional, timely and everything was cleaned up neatly after the job was done. Very happy. They not only trimmed one tree, but removed another tree and had the stump ground out. Very professional job."

"Ken Fisher and his crew were professional, organized, and extremely hard workers. Our Oak tree was massive and they were experts in taking the tree down with no damage to our property. They explained the process every step of the way and their clean up was fantastic and done in a timely manner. The cost for the whole project was lower than other tree services and the work done was excellent! I would highly recommend LumberJack Tree Services."

"My husband I contacted three landscaping companies in early February. Out of the three, two took some pictures and answered our questions, but they never got back to us with an estimate. Reggie was the last to meet with us due to scheduling problems. When he met with us, he took the time to describe what he envisioned for our flowerbeds and was able to give us an estimate that day. The project began on May 24th and was completed the next day. The flowerbeds in the front of the house were overgrown and/or dead. Reggie and his employee, Nick, tore out everything and proceeded to edge, plant shrubs and perennials. He also trimmed our dwarf cherry tree, cleaned up the beds and spread mulch. In addition, he also planted four cypresses on our properly line to give us a little privacy. We are pleased with the end result. Reggie is a professional and we recommend him for any landscaping projects."

"All work was excellent. Every worker was skilled and clearly working to ensure that all work was completed professionally and competently. The site was left very neat and clean since they chipped all limbs, removed all large limbs or trunks and cleaned up all sawdust. The price quoted in my estimate was the exact price charged. I was pleased that Cutting Edge was able to do the work requested so promptly and we will definitely call them again for any tree work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

In most cases, your neighbor is responsible for roots from their tree that cause damage to your property. If your pavement, the foundation of your home, or a fence is damaged by roots from a neighbor’s tree, you likely will have legal recourse for financial relief. While it’s better to notify your neighbor of any problems you notice as soon as they arise to avoid costly damage, there are some instances where filing a civil suit is your only recourse. Your homeowner’s insurance company might wish to do so on your behalf if you file a claim.

Make sure the tree roots soak around a day before you dig the tree up for the transplant. Keep the roots wet while the tree is above ground. After the transplant is finished, provide consistent water every day for the first month or so. You don’t want to overwater the tree, but you do want to keep the roots wet so they can thrive in their new environment.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

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.
