"Mark really saved us. We had a very large tree that was splitting and needed to come down before it fell down. He was able to start the work promptly and he had a big crane come to lift the majority of the tree (in sections) over the house. All was done safely. He was busy and the weather did not cooperate well; so, I did have the feelings that he promised a bit more than he could do. He tries very hard to "get to yes" and that does generate a little difference between what he says he can do and what he can do. However, this difference is small. The big picture is that he was able to jump right in (couple of days, prior to storm) and I think he saved us a disaster. The final bill was significantly higher than the bid, but we did have him do somewhat more than was defined in the bid. Our next door neighbor also had him do work, and she was happy with the result. Working with Mark was good. I would use him again. We had urgency in our project so we didn't have time for a lot of comparative bidding. We had one other company come, but they never gave us a final bid - due presumably to the difficulty of getting our very large tree out of our yard, on a hill. (Mark used a huge crane to do the work, "110 ton" type.) We also had power lines near that tree; so, another issue requiring caution. A third company came (a large and well-known company) but they did not arrive to even give us a bid until we had agreed to have Mark do the work (storm coming, tree needed to come down). So, I don't have any great information on the comparative bid situation. Anyway, I would recommend Mark and Acorn Arborists. I would give 5 stars (and cheers) except that there was a little tendency to lead us to expect somewhat more than he could deliver (in terms of time and cost). But again, the weather was not cooperative."

"He does tree trimming or cutting them down, but he was unable to help me. He came out, but did not clarify my need before he came. He gave me a referral, but if you are looking for an arborist, he cannot help."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.

Ensures complete removal and mitigates risks of underground root damage.

Tree pruning is a common and helpful tree maintenance technique that involves carefully cutting and trimming unwanted branches so that the tree can continue to grow and thrive. Pruning is done carefully and intentionally. Tree topping is a frowned-upon method that involves removing and cutting most or the entirety of the top of the tree, including structurally important branches.

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.
