"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 questions, answered by experts

You should not trim an oak tree in the summer. Oak trees are especially susceptible to disease, and open tree wounds are an invitation for beetles that carry tree-killing fungus. If there’s no risk that the oak tree will do damage to your property or hurt someone, it’s best to save the trimming for fall or winter. If you can, seal the wound with latex to prevent fungus from getting inside.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

Transporting a fully-grown tree requires heavy equipment, typically specialized for the task. A tree spade is a truck-mounted tool that removes the tree from the ground in one location, transports it, and places it in a new hole in a new location. A combination of mechanized shovels and lifts is necessary to move very large trees, and the exact tools often depend on location and the surrounding area.

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.
