"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!"

"We had All about trees contracted to trim some large branches which over hung out son's trailer. If they would have broken off during a storm, they would have more then likely went through the roof. All about trees gave us a good price. We left a deposit and they were coming back next week to do the job. We left SC and drove back to Florida. They kepted us updated and returned the following week as contracted. They sent us pictures before and after the jobs completion. They went far beyond our expectations!! Excellent job, very professional and friendly. We would definitely use them again. We highly recommend this company if your in need of tree trimming service."

"Garden of Eva did a great job transforming my yard to a much nicer looking area. The guys who were here, Scottie, etc were very friendly and answered all my questions. The only thing I would suggest is perhaps a handout with instructions on what and how to water and how often.. Good service over all and especially letting me pay in installment plan. Thannks."

"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."

"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 questions, answered by experts

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

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.

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.

The speed of your tree root removal process depends on a few different factors, including the size and type of tree. However, the fastest method of killing tree roots is applying chemical herbicide, which starts working quickly and efficiently. But this removal method has its drawbacks, such as having a negative effect on the surrounding vegetation and landscaping. Other options like rock salt and stump grinding work relatively quickly and cause less damage to your yard.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.
