"We have a huge oak tree in our backyard that needed trimming and thinned out. Isac clearly explained what needed to be done and how they would do it with the small amount of space open for dropped limbs. They avoided damage to plants and shed by guiding them with ropes. They hauled away all the debris. The men were careful and professional doing their work. They also ground down two stumps from trees cut down a year or more ago. Their machine easily ground them way down below ground level along with the large roots protruding in many directions. They did everything for a very reasonable rate and I will call on them for any future work. I highly recommend them. Thank you Isac and crew! Great job! Note: They can also do landscaping and painting. The before and after pictures I uploaded unfortunately don't indicate a large difference because the before picture was taken a week earlier when the leaves were just starting to appear."

"Great. I've dealt with a couple of other companies and watched them quickly spread some killer here or there, but not complete coverage. Had to call others back again and again. Watched the Safari application (2 times) ... and both times it was done with great detail and complete coverage. They use a green dye to know what has been covered and what not. Called ahead to say they were coming the next day. Talked through what they were going to do for that application when they got here ... and very pleased. Price was competitive. I've learned that when it comes to this kind of service, you get what you pay for. You go cheap-cheap and you'll still have weeds."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Trees are beneficial to the environment and wildlife. If you have an old tree, but it’s healthy, it may be best to avoid cutting it down. However, if it’s showing signs of bug infestation, disease, or is potentially hazardous, then you should contact a tree removal company to cut it down. 

If you are unsure whether you should have it removed or not, then speak with an arborist to determine what is best.

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.

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.

You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster.
