"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

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

Dying trees and even dead trees can spread diseases to other living trees. There are many different types of tree diseases, so it’s essential to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent the disease from spreading to other healthy trees. If the tree cannot be saved and is infected, you need to have it removed to protect the other trees on your property.

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

Palm trees will not regrow from a stump once the tree has been cut down. This type of tree is unique because the root and stump system will slowly decay after the tree is gone, unlike other species that can regrow. That’s why it’s preferable to remove dead or decaying palm tree stumps quickly as they can become an eyesore and don’t offer future growing potential.
