"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."

"The main job was a large (75 years old) oak tree that was killed by a lightning strike 2 years ago.  I had some estimates from other companies from that summer, but I'd held off on the slim hope that it would survive (sadly, it did not).  When I finally accepted that it needed to come down, I saw the Cutting Edge offer on Angie's, read some reviews, and decided to give them a shot.
They were quick to respond, and Nate came out to look things over.  He was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough, and the estimate was in line with what I'd expected.
The actual work was just as professional.  They were well-equipped, and staffed with enough guys to get the whole job done that day.  They appeared to be very safety conscious, and they were very methodical and careful in their approach to taking down this large tree.  The other trees were not as large, but they were near utilities and had to be taken down carefully as well, and there were no problems with that.  They were completely accommodating as far as how I wanted the wood cut up (I saved most of it for firewood), and chipped the rest (and at my request left the chips behind on a pile - I'll use them around the lot).
Cleanup was meticulous and complete, and I think the grounds look better now than before the job.
I'm sorry to lose that tree, and I hope I have no more lightning strikes, but I'm glad that I chose Cutting Edge, and when I need more work done, I'll go to them.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.

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.
