"Very quick to respond to the request for an estimate. Very informative with the process and the price was reasonable they offered to send certificates of insurance. There was no pushy sales for unwanted work but they did point out other areas where work is needed for the future for us to keep an eye on. Working with a local company made it very personable. The crew did a great job with making contact with me before, during and after the job was complete . The clean up was great and the yard, roof and other areas looked better than before they arrived. ( hardly a wood chip was left)"

"Their foreman Steven showed up on time and gave me a very decent quote for what I needed (tree trimming, fallen limb removal, and dead tree removal). I went ahead and hired them. Steven and his team showed up on time for the service date, but a storm rolled in while they were working. They left due to lightning, but the front desk , Ellen, called me to let me know they would return to finish later that week. They returned on time too, and finished the job. They even left me 2 bags of potting soil to cover tracks in the shared yard I have with my neighbor after my neighbor requested it. Steven and Ellen were always very professional and courteous, and Ellen was prompt with communication. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

"He did an absolutely fantastic job! I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He was extremely professional, hardworking, punctual, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of properly. He was incredibly thorough and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. You can tell he takes real pride in his work and actually cares about doing the job right, rather than just getting it done. He was also very friendly, respectful, and easy to communicate with. The quality of his work was outstanding, and I was genuinely impressed by how efficient and attentive he was. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and trustworthy. Absolutely 10/10 experience! I will definitely be calling him again for any future work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.

The average tree pruning should take one hour with the right equipment. Light pruning of a small tree may only take around 15 to 20 minutes. Pruning multiple large trees in your yard will probably take several hours, including cleanup. However, tree pruning pros can do this job much faster, so you can rely on pros if you’re short on time.
