"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!"

"Dustin has been mowing my property for several months. He is always punctual and alerts me when he is going to be at my place. I have also had him trim my palm trees and he replaced one that had died. He always does a good job."

"Kevin Shooter was absolutely fantastic to work with. We had been struggling to locate a leak in our irrigation system and couldn?t figure out where the problem was coming from. Kevin came out, assessed the situation, and found the leak in no time flat. His experience and attention to detail were immediately obvious. Not only was he incredibly efficient, but he also took the time to explain what he found and how it could be fixed. It?s clear he knows his craft and takes pride in doing the job right. What could have been a frustrating and time-consuming problem for us turned into a quick and painless solution thanks to Kevin. If you need someone who is knowledgeable, professional, and able to diagnose irrigation issues quickly, I highly recommend Kevin Shooter. We?re very grateful for his help and wouldn?t hesitate to call him again. ?????"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don’t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project.  

You can often tell if a tree is grafted because it will have a noticeable line. Above the line, the bark will look different than it does below the line. It’s most common with fruit trees.

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.

If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:

  • Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.

  • Support businesses that plant trees. 

  • Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.

  • Donate to a tree-planting charity.

Talking with a septic pro before planting trees near your tank is best to ensure the roots won’t interfere with your septic system. However, there is an easy way to figure out where to plant a tree—but you’ll need to know how tall it can get when it’s fully grown. For instance, if the tree can reach 50 feet, plant it at least 50 feet from your septic system.
