"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!"

"Art has been working with my lawn for about 4-5 months. Since then my lawn has improved 100%. His knowledge and experience is incredible. He explains everything the lawn needs, the problems and what is required to fix the problems. He will spend as much time with his customers as required to insure they understand the entire process. I recommend Art for all lawn care service. If you want a beautiful lawn there is no other lawn care service that comes close to him."

"Garden of Eva. Did a wonderful job on our front. Yard. We have lived in our home for 20 years. I do not do yardwork. I didn't want my husband spending days working on yard maintenance. They gave us a lo maintenance yard and a pondless waterfall. The week they worked on our project the temps were in the high 90's, but did not stop them. I am not a plant person but I knew how I wanted it to look. Eva picked out the plants we needed to accomplish the low maintenance and the look. Thanks so much to your crew who worked so hard and the successful completion of the project."

"The owner was the most knowledgeable person I have ever met and not only the field of trees and shrubs but mainly pest control and overall maintenance of the entire yard. In all my years of dealing with people and many different industries, he is by far light years ahead of everyone else. I would highly recommend him to anybody looking for any type of pest control or advice on trees and shrubs."

"They worked day and night. The project was estimated to be 5-7 days and that is how long it was. Got cold and rainy but they still kept working. My overgrown front woods was a challenging job. A lot of mud a lot of equipment got stuck and had to be pulled out. Very reliable and hard working. Thanks guys."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

It enhances property aesthetics, improves tree health, and prevents safety hazards.

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. 

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.
