"The folks were very professional and friendly. They did an exceptional job on my trees and even went above and beyond fixing some problems with my fencing and outside stair railing. I couldn't be happier with their work. Highly recommended!"

"Rob and Mike showed up on time, or informed me of any delay. The crew showed up and did a great job, especially since access to the trees was a little difficult. They gave me a good price and I was very pleased with their work. I would hire them agaiin."

"Devin was very responsive when I called and asked for a quote for a tree that was close to our house. I'd heard he was good with that type of work and when he came out and went over the job with me he was very knowledgeable, and said he had a great crew. That left me very comfortable with the work he planned to do. During the job they were surprisingly quick with the removal and no debris was left behind. It was a fantastic experience and I'm glad I called him to do the work."

"Colton came and looked over the project prior to bidding. I received his bid and he said he could complete the project in a two-week time frame. His bid was competitive and I proceeded with the project. Both Colton and his crew were very professional and friendly. They arrived early and completed the project in a few hours. I would strongly recommend McMillian Excavation for this kind of project if you are in need of their services."

"I just want to say that this company is the best! I would highly recommend them to family and friends! Young Sam is definitely a big asset to the company with his knowledge of the company! He was such a kind and friendly and so willing to help with whatever needed accomplished. Very professional for such a young man! They did a wonderful job cutting down my 2 trees and did a excellent job of cleanup. And they went above and beyond cleaning up my back yard of broken dead tree limbs, cleaned my roof off and my gutters! And again an excellent job of cleanup! The four men who accomplished all of this was exemplary in all that they did for me. Very hard working gentlemen! And all I can say, hire this company, they are the best in my opinion! A big thank you to this company!!!!!"

"A thoroughly professional experience from beginning to end. Everyone we dealt with acted/responded promptly, showed up on time with a can-do attitude, and did what they said they would do. When the crew doing the work realized they could not get their equipment through our rear neighbors' narrow driveway (as the estimator thought they could), they immediately came up with a different plan, to do it from the front. This they carried out amazingly fast--and safely. They finished the job to our satisfaction in the allotted time despite the change in method. We then made a mistake on the check we gave them. Ashley in the office caught that and called the next morning."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

A tree branch should start to form roots in about three months. It can take about a year for a tree branch to develop roots strong enough to go in the ground. For best results, start several branches because, no matter how closely you follow instructions, they won’t all form roots. Compost any that aren’t thriving.

If a tree isn’t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.
