"We just hired Team 1 from Saw-Rite Tree Service to come out and remove 4 extremely large pine trees. They showed up for the job early when they said they would be there, worked quickly but safely and cleaned up everything afterwards. All of the guys were very friendly. I would recommend them to to everyone I know!"

"My home is the roosing place for a large flock of Vultures and despite all of my efforts I had not been able to deter them from camping out on my roof. They were tearing things up on the property an leaving poop everywhere. As a result I have become known as the Vulture Lady. I contacted three pest control vendors and two looked at my problem then never came back or provided a quote. Tim on the other hand let me know that this would be no problem. He took the time to educate me about the fedral protection that these birds enjoy and how not to violate that protection. Two solutions were proposed. A propain canon and roof spikes. Tim was understanding when I rejected the canon despite the fact that it did get rid of the birds. We then installed the spikes and problem solved. Thanks Tim for working with me through this process."

"They delivered sand and spread it as I requested. They put down crushed stone and plastic in place of mulch. Looks good and should not have to be replaced every year like mulch. They did an excellent job of winter yard cleanup and trimming bushes and one Bartlett Pear tree. I would recommend them on any yard work needed."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

The best pro to hire for spraying trees is a tree maintenance specialist. These pros are well-versed in selecting the right spray treatment and applying it properly to ensure there’s no collateral damage to the tree or surrounding landscape. Many tree maintenance services employ certified arborists, but for these routine visits, the extra investment usually isn’t necessary.

Trees are beneficial to the environment and wildlife. If you have an old tree, but it’s healthy, it may be best to avoid cutting it down. However, if it’s showing signs of bug infestation, disease, or is potentially hazardous, then you should contact a tree removal company to cut it down. 

If you are unsure whether you should have it removed or not, then speak with an arborist to determine what is best.

You should prune ornamental trees once every other year after the fruit has matured and begun to drop. You should also prune out dead branches whenever you see them. Pruning too often can stimulate more growth, especially in faster growing varieties like Bradford pears.

How often and long you should water a tree depends on the species and if it is mature or newly planted. The amount of water is also based on the tree's size. A good rule of thumb is approximately 5 gallons per inch of the trunk's diameter.

Adjusting watering to the recommended suggestions for the tree type and weather conditions is vital. For instance, watering trees during a drought is necessary, and you may need to water more frequently than usual.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
