"I am truly still blown away by the incredibly service we received from JD Trees. I was contacted within minutes of submitting our tree project and they were close to my home so came right by to check out our trees. I was given an extremely fair estimate on site and asked if Iâ d like the trees removed that day. Um, yea! They returned 2 hours later with a crew of 5 men, cut down both huge trees, buried them back in our woods, removed both stumps and impeccably cleaned everything up before heading out. All in all, it took about an hour and we were just seriously blown away! Every single member of the crew was kind and friendly, they did a fantastic job and are clearly knowledgeable and I would recommend them to anyone else in a heartbeat. Thank you so much!!"

"Kale Lawn has maintained our yard for years, but we recently asked them to help update our landscaping. Jeff Kale and his team met with us several times and listened to our goals and ideas and came up with a great plan that we could see visually. They met with us again to go through the plan and executed the removal and replanting wonderfully. We are thrilled with our new landscaping and how painless the process was for us. Jeff's Kale's crew was so careful and hardworking and very respectful of our property. Their work was meticulous."

"They did a great job in taking down the tree near my house and cutting the branches on trees in the front and backyard near my house. They were very professional and cleaned up all the tree debris in my yard before they left. They also did a great job in grinding my tree stump a few days later! I would definitely recommend this company. Rick and Alex are very friendly and respectful of what needs to be done. They handled everything quickly and professionally! Great job guys! Thank you!"

Customers say: Quick response

"I contacted three different tree services to quote my job. The first never showed up, the second showed up three-sheets into the wind and then there was Patrica with AAA Union Tree Service. Within thirty minutes of placing my request on Angi, she sent me a text asking if she could come quote the job. Before the day was out, I had a written quote in my hand. Patricia was in the middle of a big apartment job but kept me abreast by text when they should be able to start. Her crew did a wonderful job and her associate Brenda was also very helpful in advising on how to update the exterior of the home and even brought out a beautiful shrub to show me. I can't say enough how please I am with the results of their work. I also received additional quotes before they left as I plan on making AAA Union Tree Service my go-to for all my landscaping needs! They were wonderful!"

"I had ABS come out to clean up and refresh our backyard, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Their quote was very reasonable compared to other options we considered, and they were extremely responsive throughout the entire process. They showed up when they said they would, worked efficiently, and did a fantastic job clearing everything out and laying pine straw. The attention to detail really made a difference, and the yard looks better than it has in years. If you’re looking for a landscaping company that provides great communication, fair pricing, and high-quality work, I highly recommend ABS. We’ll definitely be using them again in the future."

Arborists FAQs, 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.

Yes, it can be good to remove dead branches from trees. Dead branches can lead to rot in other areas of the tree. They can also cause damage if they fall on a house, shed, fence, car, pool, or other structure or property. However, it’s important that dead branch removal is done safely. If the branch is high in a tree or requires a lift or ladder to access, consider calling a professional tree removal company, as they will have the experience and equipment to do the job safely.

It can take anywhere from one month to a couple of years for tree roots to grow back in sewer lines. Tree roots can cause extreme havoc on your sewer lines, potentially cracking them and causing untreated wastewater to make its way into the groundwater. Have a landscaping pro remove trees and roots before installing your system, or call a pro to do it retroactively as soon as you can.

It depends on where you live—but in most areas, leaves begin falling in September and continue falling until January or February. Warmer regions, such as Southern states, may see leaves fall a bit later in the calendar year. It also depends on the type of trees in your yard and their maturity. 

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees.
