"The crew was efficient and knowledgeable. The large Oak tree and the tall Crape Myrtle were successfully limbed from over the roof, and cut back. They had the machinery to reduce all to sawdust, on site. The cleanup done by the crew was also excellent. We are pleased with the project."

"Awesome job. I couldn’t be more pleased. He listened to what we needed which was open space for the sunlight to reach some of my current trees by removing branches from others while maintaining the privacy they provided and he nailed it! He also removed 2 trees and cleaned everything up after. Thanks Evan amazing job, great price, and professional service. I highly recommend"

Customers say: Quick response

"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."

"What a wonderful company. the owner, Roxanne kept us informed every step of the way. a crane was needed and she worked hard to get us the best price. Crew was very professional and friendly. Did a great job cleaning up after tree was down. Even helped rescue newborn baby racoons that were in a hollow of the tree. Momma raccoon was happy to get her babies back. Anthony is a very knowledgeable arborist and we were amazed at his climbing abilities and he knew exactly what limbs to cut. We were concerned since it was a large tree over our house. We worried that a limb would fall and severely damage roof. Anthony's skill ensured not one branch or limb, even a dead one didnt fall on roof. We are very pleased we chose Carolina Tree Service and will highly recommend."

"Rivers was great. They trimmed about 10 trees and removed a few small ones as well. They did excellent work, left the yard looking neat, and completed the job efficiently. It took a little back and forth for scheduling, but they seemed to have genuine reasons for needing to reschedule. I would definitely recommend Rivers Tree Cutting and will use them again in the future."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.

Make sure the tree roots soak around a day before you dig the tree up for the transplant. Keep the roots wet while the tree is above ground. After the transplant is finished, provide consistent water every day for the first month or so. You don’t want to overwater the tree, but you do want to keep the roots wet so they can thrive in their new environment.

It may be possible, but transplanting a large, mature tree can be a tricky project, and some trees handle it better than others. If you have a tree you need to save and are considering transplanting it elsewhere, we highly suggest calling a tree removal service and arranging a consultation to see what they say (and how much a full transplant would cost).
