"The team worked carefully and diligently to remove the oak, taking about 6 hours. Communication was excellent with the arborist who did the estimate as well as the crew upon arrival, during the job, and at completion. They left my yard and patio clean and their impact was minimal despite the bulk of the tree."

"Outstanding! I have used this company before and have not been disappointed. Top quality work. Great service. Best price! Clean up after the tree trimming, tree removal, and stump grinding was above and beyond. Even blew the leaves out of my front yard. Wow! Can't say enough good things. Hire them!"

"The owner was very knowledgeable and straight forward with his recommendations. He was quick to understand just what I wanted done. He and one worker worked fast and tirelessly to clear an untidy and increasingly unmanageable growing tangle of bushes/small trees from one side of the yard and several piles of limbs that I had trimmed off hedges over the past two years or that had fallen from one of our many trees. They completed the work in a short time and cleaned up all the debris, leaving the portions of the yard they worked on looking like new."

"Outstanding job all the way around! They responded to my request for a proposal to take down a 60 foot oak within minutes and quoted me a very good price with same day service. The crew was professional, courteous, efficient, and did great work safely and expeditiously. Very satisfied all the way around. Would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs large trees removed that are near structures."

"We reach out to JL Tree Service every few years to assess our trees and prune as needed. During our last service in July, they removed a dead tree and pruned multiple others. They provided us a quote and stayed true to that quote. Their team was professional and left our yard in pristine shape. I'm not typically one for reviews, but after seeing the results of neighbors who hired another company for their tree service, I came to truly appreciate what JL has done for us."

"Efficient company. Crew was managed well, did quick work trimming my front yard tree with a bucket truck and removed the debris feeding the wood chipper. Part of the project agreement was removal of bamboo overhang. All work completed and work area was cleared. I highly recommend 23 Trees for this type of yard work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.

Ivy eventually kills trees by restricting its growth, blocking sunlight, absorbing nutrients and water from the soil, and weakening the tree. Trees with ivy are more likely to experience diseases, pests, rot, and fungi growth. When ivy weighs down tree branches, the tree is more likely to break during a storm and cause damage.

Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

There are many signs that a tree is diseased or dying, and if you suspect that’s the case, you should call an arborist immediately. You might notice rot or fungus on the trunk or that the tree is beginning to lean to one side. Brittle branches or signs of root damage are other indicators that a tree is in trouble. If the tree is dying, it might be time to cut the tree down so it doesn’t fall.
