"The crew was on time, very professional, and extremely polite and considerate. They cleaned up afterward and even offered some tips on how to use some pieces of the tree that we wanted to keep as decorations. (We took the advice and were pleased with it.) We recommend them highly. We don't know them personally. Only contact was hiring them through Angie's List. Will use them again if needed."

"What can I say about Newman's tree service? Give your head a rest calling around for the best price for your tree service needs. I am absolutely satisfied and happy of the work they did taking down my 2 trees. Other than the shaving and dirt you would never know a tree used to be there. I was so pleased to see that with the stump grinder they went around the outside of where the tree was and got all the roots above the ground and in the ground so nothing can grow back. The two guys cleaned everything up, no sticks or roots remained on the grond. I got a kick out of watching one of them picking up the smallest of twigs after all of their work. That's my work ethic too and thats why seeing him doing it brought a smile to my face. Both men were very respectful, polite, professional and knowledgeable in answering apll of our questions. They had to be hungry because they never stopped working so I gave them a tip so they could grab something to eat after all their hard work. I would 100%"

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

Palm tree removal can cost anywhere between $100 and $1,800 depending on palm size, tree condition, labor, location, and the amount of prep work involved. With the necessary skills, a DIY palm tree removal for trees shorter than 15 feet can lower costs. However, it’s generally recommended that you hire a palm tree expert for tree removal.

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall. 

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.
