"I can?t say enough wonderful things about Brandon from Jones Tree Company! From the moment he arrived, he was kind, professional, respectful, and genuinely cared about doing a great job. He was very reasonable with his pricing, arrived right on time, and took the time to carefully cut the branches in a way that would help protect my home from damage. Brandon and his helper worked so hard, and when they were finished, they cleaned up the area beautifully. You honestly wouldn?t have known they had even been there! It?s not every day that you come across someone who takes such pride in their work and treats people with such kindness. I?m truly grateful for the wonderful experience and the care they put into the job. I highly recommend Jones Tree Company to anyone in Benburg County. If you need tree work done, give them a call ? you will not be disappointed! ??"

"Brandon is top notch! We have 8 acres with a pond and some woodlands. We regularly need trees removed or limbs trimmed back or land cleared around the pond. We even needed trees pulled out of the pond recently. Brandon always does an EXCELLENT job! He is easy to talk to - a respectful professional. He comes when he says he will, is efficient and smart about everything he does. Each time we work with Brandon we keep adding on to our job requests and he accommodates us. We get so much done and done quickly. We have recommended Brandon to others, and will always contact him for any of our landscaping needs."

Customers say: Quick response

"I contacted three different tree services to quote my job. The first never showed up, the second showed up three-sheets into the wind and then there was Patrica with AAA Union Tree Service. Within thirty minutes of placing my request on Angi, she sent me a text asking if she could come quote the job. Before the day was out, I had a written quote in my hand. Patricia was in the middle of a big apartment job but kept me abreast by text when they should be able to start. Her crew did a wonderful job and her associate Brenda was also very helpful in advising on how to update the exterior of the home and even brought out a beautiful shrub to show me. I can't say enough how please I am with the results of their work. I also received additional quotes before they left as I plan on making AAA Union Tree Service my go-to for all my landscaping needs! They were wonderful!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

In the short term, you’ll have a lot of fallen trees to deal with. Tree removal services costs typically start at $200 per tree and increase based on species and size. Then, you’ll have to deal with the loss of trees: That means a loss of shade and a greater risk of rain runoff and erosion. Also, you’ll miss out on the health and aesthetic benefits of having trees on your property, which could even affect the resale value of your home.

That being said, cutting down a tree it’s not always a bad idea. Trees growing too close to rooftops can present fire hazards or debris problems. You may need to remove diseased or dying trees to prevent future issues.
