"Marcos provided a very competitive quote compared to other tree service businesses I looked at. His crew was on time, professional, worked fast but did a great job cutting down one tree, trimming several others and grinding down one stump. I have no hesitation recommending M & M Tree Services owned by Marcos (901-496-1735, 901-497-0887) to do all my tree service work,"

"I had great service from the start. Berto came to my house to assess what needed to be done and pointed out the limbs to be removed with a laser pointer. He provided a very fair estimate and brought his crew the next morning on time. They took care to protect my lawn from tire tracks and worked steadily and efficiently. After trimming the trees and making them look great, they cleaned up every leaf and bit of sawdust. I was very impressed. I will not hesitate to hire them again."

"Isaac called right away then came out to look at the tree. Price was reasonable, but the service was 5 star. The crew was awesome. They finished cutting down the tree and cleaned up really quick. I would recommend Chop Chop every time. The other tree trimmers didn’t bother to reach out."

"I had a very large magnolia tree and stump removed. I called and received a rapid respond stating they would look at the job and give me a quote. The next day I received a very affordable quote, tree taken care of and it was a job well done. The area was left emaculantly cleaned. I am very satisfied and will recommend them and definitely use again. Excellent company and workers."

"I am very pleased with Gil’s Landscape. He was very friendly, very professional, very efficient, and very concerned about the work he was gonna do. He went above and beyond what I expected. He even added some extras to give the gate some extra security. He completed the project quicker than I expected. I couldn’t have asked for a better job. I’m completely satisfied and pleased with the job he did. I would recommend him to anyone. Harry Daniel"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It’s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

If you don’t stake a tree that needs support, it could be at greater risk of being damaged or failing completely, whether it uproots or falls over. That could cause damage to your property or other surrounding trees. If you want to grow healthy trees, you may need to stake them for best results.
