"Extremely quick response. Came next day after providing quote. Very professional in their appearance, mannerisms, and the quality of their work. When they finished you would not have known they were there other than my trees were gone! Would highly recommend them to anyone needing tree removal."

"My husband and I recently hired Kamron Normansell (Kam’s Cutting and Climbing) to trim five trees on our property. We preferred to hire someone who doesn’t use heavy equipment to minimize any damage to our yard. We could not be happier with the results! Two of the trees were growing way too close to each other and Kam recommended we remove the smaller tree so the larger tree would better thrive. Kim uses ropes and tethers to climb trees and perform the needed pruning. We were impressed with how skillfully he maneuvered high up in our trees. Even though he is just starting up his new tree service business, he operates with the expertise and professionalism of a seasoned veteran. He provided a fair estimate, arrived exactly when he said he would and did an outstanding job shaping and pruning our trees. What really stood out was his work ethic; he took great care of our yard and cleaned up every single branch and leaf before he left. We highly recommend him for any tree trimming."

"Professional, efficient, courteous and honest. I would, without reservation, recommend this tree company; I intend contacting them again in the fall for further work on my property. The price they quoted was well within the recommended charge and they arrived on time, completed the work & left the area clean."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

If you’re buying a small tree with lots of room to grow, expect to pay around $100 to $200 for a potted version. But if you’re buying a larger tree—say one over 10 feet—prices rise, starting in the $500 to $600 range and increasing quickly from there. Keep in mind that paying for professional palm tree planting or transplanting services will increase the cost.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.
