"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

Tree pruning is a common and helpful tree maintenance technique that involves carefully cutting and trimming unwanted branches so that the tree can continue to grow and thrive. Pruning is done carefully and intentionally. Tree topping is a frowned-upon method that involves removing and cutting most or the entirety of the top of the tree, including structurally important branches.

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don’t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.
