"Around the beginning of the year I had them come out to cut down a large ash tree that was showing signs of rot and I didn't want it to break and hit my house. I started the process of getting a quote online and was given a call within and hour and made arrangements for them to come look. They gave me a great quote and was back to get it cut down much faster than any of the others I got a quote from. The guys that did the work were polite, fast, and went above and beyond to get it cut down. I would highly recommend these guys for getting your tree services done."

"Arrived when they said they would. Had two evergreen trees removed. They completed everything including cleanup in a timely matter. The price we agreed on was the price when the project was done. Both gentlemen are very courteous and professional. I will hire them again this fall for some tree trimming that I need done. I could not have asked for anything more from this company."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.
