"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."

"When I called Safari, they helped explain what was suddenly causing the issue and what the specific service they had would do to fix the problem. They were very courteous, patient as I asked questions, came to their appointment on time and were well worth the money paid. It was less than $100 to spray 10 - 15 trees."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. 

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

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.

On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.
