"TNT tree removal was very friendly and professional. The service was very quick. They cut me a great deal and away the trees and removed the stumps. I like that I came home to a clean removal each day. I would recommend and use them again."

"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."

"I have to say, Bill's Tree Service is the BEST tree service company I have ever had work done with. Other companies came, bid, then no showed me. But Bill is the ultimate professional. He arrived on time for the consultation. Was very personable, drove a spotless vehicle and spent over an hour going over my entire property. I was prepared for being told that I would need to have trees brought down but no. There was not one tree that needed removed, just trimmed and groomed. I was out of town when his crew did the job but as the consummate professional, at 7:00 am I received a text with pictures showing his crew on the job and starting work. It was a full 2 day job, an hour from Sioux City but they were there, did an awesome job and a perfect cleanup above and beyond what I expected. I just wish I could have thanked the crew in person. What I wish the most is that I had called Bill last summer to look at a big, huge beautiful tree that was brought down by another cutter, that in retrospect could have been saved and enjoyed for many, many more years to come. There is truly a difference between an arborist and just a run of the mill tree service. A hard lesson learned. So thank you Bill and crew. Hope to see you next summer for the final phase of tree trimming."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

It depends on where you live—but in most areas, leaves begin falling in September and continue falling until January or February. Warmer regions, such as Southern states, may see leaves fall a bit later in the calendar year. It also depends on the type of trees in your yard and their maturity. 

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.

The best pro to hire for spraying trees is a tree maintenance specialist. These pros are well-versed in selecting the right spray treatment and applying it properly to ensure there’s no collateral damage to the tree or surrounding landscape. Many tree maintenance services employ certified arborists, but for these routine visits, the extra investment usually isn’t necessary.
