"After finding Angel on Angi they’ve become our go-to for any tree trimming/cutting work in our very wooded area. They are always organized, speedy, and friendly, and always clean up the area when work is done."

"Excellent work done by Carlos and team. The project involved cutting multiple trees and trimming others. All work was done safely and professionally. The team also cleaned the property very nicely after the work was completed. I highly recommend this company to those who are looking for tree service."

"I would definitely use Stump Professionals again. I appreciated Devin's knowledge and confidence. The tree stump he removed was at least 4 feet across he was able to do it efficiently and we were able to use the mulch elsewhere in the yard."

"They've all been good about being on time and doing the treatments within the two-to three-week window that they have scheduled at the beginning of the year for providing the service. I think they did a thorough job. They seemed to neat. They never called a problem. They always put the sign up, put the hand carries on the door so I know they've been here and I really haven't had any complaints about any of them except that they haven't been very effective in giving me the beautiful, green lawn that I have wanted. So, like I said I decided mostly the trees that I have and the type of dirt that I have is crop, thus preventing the beautiful, green less lawn that I was wanting, not the quality of the service or the timing or anything else. For all three companies, they did a fine job. I don't have any complaints about that. It just didn't accomplish my goal. They did everything they said they would, it's just didn't produce the results that I wanted. The only thing they could have done different I think was give me better result. As far as the company did what they said, they did excellent. It didn't work, but I don't think it's their fault because none of the tree have been successful at the same task and I'm sure they're all quite capable, except Second Nature did a fine job of showing up and treating and everything. It just didn't produce the results. I don't want them to get a bad mark because they did everything they said they would just like they said they would, wasn't a problem, didn't have any payment issues, didn't have any timing issues, didn't have to call them to remind them, they didn't run over any of the plants, they didn't scare the dogs.

My expectation was that the lawn would improve significantly. That was what I thought they were selling me was their program that would produce positive results in my yard and I didn't realize the results I was looking for.

They were on time when they were supposed to be here. I didn't have any other issues. I didn't call them and asked them to do anything and come out and spot treat or anything like that.

They were very professional."

"Old Mackey’s Stump Grinding did an excellent job. Robert arrived on time, grinded the stump to several inches below ground level, made sure the dirt and debris were neatly packed down around the area of the stump, and cleaned up the yard and driveway after completing the job. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who has the need to get rid of ugly tree stumps. He was very easy to get a hold of and gave me an estimate of the job prior to coming out from the pictures I sent him. I think you will be very happy with his service. Sally"

"We hired this company to remove a fallen tree from our fence and shed after hurricane Ida. Nathan and his crew were professional, kind, honest, thorough, and tidy. We couldn't be happier with their service. Not only they removed the tree, but they also cleaned the mess of leaves and small branches after the tree removal. They were all very polite and friendly. They followed up with us the next day after we inspected their work. They did exactly what they told us they would do. Very hard working men with great ethics. Their price was very reasonable. We are vey thankful for their honesty and hard work. They are the best!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

Pruning can impact cold hardiness—but it’s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don’t want to prune trees when there’s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it’s pruned.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.
