"The Timberwolf crew was quick and efficient. They were also very careful with our home and property. While we were sad to lose a tree,the work that they did left the property looking so much better . I am anticipating hiring them again soon to plant a new tree and update some landscaping. Thank you Timberwolf!"

"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

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

Your local government is usually in charge of pruning trees on public property, and the power company is responsible for trees near power lines (even if they’re on your property). Whether or not they top these trees depends on their approach to pruning. You won’t be able to do much to control this, but you can contact them to find out more about their pruning process.

For Bradford pears, damage from storms is common, and if the trunk splits, it can pose a danger to people and surrounding structures. The best thing to do in that instance is to have the tree removed. If there’s only minor damage to the branches, pruning away the damaged parts is the first order of business. You may also want to consult a professional arborist to make sure the tree is healthy.

Although it’s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. 

Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They’ll be able to walk you through the entire process.
