"We made contact with several tree removal companies - many came out and gave us quotes. But Hugo was the only one that consistently followed up and kept us informed on when he could get out. Not only did he follow up weekly, he gave us a fair price. He was prompt and professional - very courteous. He and his crew room down a 300 year old oak that was about 65 feet I. Height. Let’s mention it was in a VERY right space and within inches of our home. They took it down with expertise that many claim to have but don’t. We highly recommend Hugo. We will definitely hire him to take down a few others."

"Dr. Bob White & the crew were extremely courteous. He knew exactly what was wrong with my Elm tree & immediately treated it. He was more than fair with me on the cost. I have several more trees that need to be treated. Be assured that BW Insect Control and Tree Care will be the ones that I will call. In my opinion, he is the best."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The costs vary from $250 to $5,000 per tree, depending on the size, complexity of the trimming, and labor.

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.

For Bradford pears, damage from storms is common, and if the trunk splits, it can pose a danger to people and surrounding structures. The best thing to do in that instance is to have the tree removed. If there’s only minor damage to the branches, pruning away the damaged parts is the first order of business. You may also want to consult a professional arborist to make sure the tree is healthy.

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.
