"Ed is a great arborist! He taught me more about trees in a short time than an entire book or internet search! He helped my very large tree at an extremely reasonable price! He will be back later this year for a much needed teim. I will recommend him to everyone I know!"

"The supervisor explained the process and answered my questions thoroughly when giving me his quote. The tree climber and ground worker were in sync and stayed focused on the task. They followed their instructions and made sure I was satisfied with the results upon completion. I highly recommend Nicolas Tree Company for their tree removal expertise. Elaine, Swannanoa NC"

"I have used this company since 2008 and have had them cut down about 12 trees. One was a huge pine with a trunk width of about 30 inches. They have cut down a couple of poplars that were over 100 feet tall. Everything has been done safely, quickly and on time. I burn lots of wood in my fireplace and they are always willing to cut and leave short lengths of trunk for my fireplace. The price has always been reasonable, they take credit cards and will leave the chipped limbs behind to fill in low spots in my backyard. This is a great company that you can depend on."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

In Johnson City, common mistakes include neglecting to obtain required permits, hiring unlicensed tree service providers, or attempting hazardous tree removal without professional help. Pruning trees at the wrong time of year or excessive topping can harm tree health. Consult with the Johnson City Planning Department or a certified arborist to plan your project and protect both your property and the local environment.

Helpful?

In TN, professional tree service providers should follow OSHA safety standards, use protective gear such as helmets and harnesses, and assess for electrical hazards, especially near power lines. Homeowners should mark underground utilities through Tennessee 811 and keep the work area clear. Confirm that your arborist is licensed and insured, as required by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture, to ensure safe and compliant tree trimming or removal.

Helpful?

In Johnson City, hidden costs for tree service can include permit application fees, charges for stump grinding, or extra labor for trees in hard-to-reach areas. If the arborist discovers disease, pest infestations, or root issues, additional work may be necessary. Always request a detailed, written estimate and clarify if debris removal or emergency tree removal services are included to avoid surprises.

Helpful?

In Johnson City, you generally need a tree removal permit for any tree with a trunk diameter over six inches, especially if it's a protected species or located near public rights-of-way. The Johnson City Planning Department and the Tennessee Department of Agriculture both oversee local regulations. Always confirm requirements with both agencies before starting tree service to ensure compliance with city ordinances and avoid project delays.

Helpful?

In TN, be wary of tree service quotes that are significantly lower than others, as this may indicate a lack of proper insurance or licensing. Avoid professionals who refuse to provide written estimates, proof of insurance, or references. The Tennessee Department of Agriculture recommends verifying credentials and ensuring the company follows local regulations. Reliable arborists will answer questions and never pressure you into quick decisions.
