"I am so pleased with the work performed by Gordon. We contacted him for an estimate on removing a few trees and trim some others in our yard. He contacted us and personally came over to give us an estimate. He knows his trees. He has done this work for 30 years and it's a family business which we love working with small family businesses. We had an ill apple tree - it was not maintained prior to us purchasing the home 8 years ago. We tried to prune it, figure out what ailed it. A number of arborists (other estimate providers) agreed that it was beyond hope and to remove it. We also removed a smaller apple tree (for pollination). We have mimosas which are the weed of trees. I love them for their blooms (they attract butterflies, bees and hummingbirds), but they are so intrusive. Gordon pointed out that one of the mimosas was possible causing an issue with our home due to their roots. We had him remove 2 mimosas and trim a third one (I wanted to keep one for the blooms & bees). What really impressed me was one of the other trees we wanted removed turned out to be a honey locust which Gordon told us was healthy and we should keep it. We did. His price was very fair and reasonable - included the stump removal as well. He was able to come out the following week and complete the job. He told us he would call us sometime the beginning of the week (we were flexible). Gordon called me the day before and asked if the next day was a good day to do the project. Worked for me. He called me in the morning of our appointment to confirm and gave me an estimated time of arrival. He called before the ETA and said he would be delayed and updated his arrival time. They showed up and had the entire job completed in less than 3 hours! These guys were amazing to watch and constantly going. I was impressed. They completely cleaned up the debris - looked even better than it did before they arrived. I highly recommend Gordon! I was completely satisfied with his work, the communication, his knowledge and his professionalism."

"Destiny's Tree Service did a great job! I enjoyed excellent communication from Eddie, the arborist; Mike, the office manager; and Marvin, the crew chief. All were professional, straight-forward; and polite. The cost of the job was very reasonable (compared to other quotes) and it was done on-time, as scheduled. Most notably, after the work was completed, the crew did an excellent job cleaning up. They took no short cuts. I would definitely hire them again without looking anywhere else!"

"Hired to remove 3 large dead trees in my back yard and grind stumps. When they were done all that was left was a pile of grindings from the stumps where the trees use to be. Did an exceptional job and quite reasonable!"

"Called for Daniel Ross the arborist to come reevaluate a large tree in front yard. Last June 2017 a large branch had split off across my front yard and driveway. The branch covered the sidewalk, part of the street, and knocked over my mailbox. He pointed out where the tree had joint problems and suggested treatment to try and save the tree. It was a large maple and very full, giving shade to front of house and side deck. This spring half of the tree did not have leaves or leaf buds. Daniel Ross came back and agreed that the tree was not healthy and needed removal. I signed a work order on Friday 5/4/18 to have the tree removed. Expected to have it done the following week, but called Friday 5/11/18 and was told my tree was not on the schedule yet. Told Tracey how worried I was because of the weather forecasts for storms and the tree was half dead. Monday 5/14/18 Tracey called just before 10 am and said the crew would be at my house shortly, they were on their way. By 10:20 am they were here and at work. The equipment included a large chipper/shredder for the smaller leafy branches, a small bulldozer to move the large logs to a large open truck, and a bucket truck. One man in the bucket worked from the top of the tree down with ropes on the parts being cut to control their fall. Men on the ground moved branches to chipper/shredder and cut up larger logs to move to the larger truck. The work went very smoothly and they were finished and the front yard cleaned up by 12:30 pm. Later in the day there thunder storms, rain, and high wind gusts in the area and I was relieved that the large tree was not a danger to my house or anyone walking or driving by. The price was higher than my neighbors had paid another tree service to take down a tree in their front yard but they did not have the equipment that Ross Tree Service has and their tree took a full day to get down where Ross got my tree down (which was taller) in approximately 4 hours."
Ross Tree Service owns a bucket truck for the more complicated jobs. We also contract a crane company with a highly experienced crane operator.
Ross Tree Service has several stump grinders.
Ross Tree Service has experienced climbers who can free climb and also have plenty experience with crane jobs and emergency response.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If you don’t cut down a dead, dying, or diseased tree, it can become a nesting place for pests like mosquitos, bees, beetles, wasps, fly larvae, and more. Some pests will live in the tree, while others will feed off the decaying wood. Unhealthy trees are also more likely to fall over, potentially injuring people and causing damage to your property.

It is good to spray water on a Christmas tree to help keep the needles hydrated. Spraying a Christmas tree with water prevents dryness, stops needles from falling off, and reduces the risk of fire.

The cost of professional tree service, such as trimming, is $460 on average, but the price can range from $75 to $1,800. A more typical range is between $200 and $760. The final price depends on several factors, including the size and type of the tree. For example, trimming Crepe Myrtle trees costs an average of $80 to $400, while giant pine trees can range from $200 to $1,800. Other factors that influence the cost include the time of year, as services are often more expensive in the spring. Your location can also play a role; costs may be higher if you live in a remote area or if the tree is difficult to access. However, some professionals may offer a discount if you have multiple trees that need service.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees.
