"This gentleman was a hard worker , he arrived on time ready to work. He not only did the work that I requested but went above and beyond By doing other trimming that was not included in his estimate. I will not only use him again but will share my experience with neighbors and friends. He represents your company well"

"Excellent service, efficient, safe, quick, affordable and dependable. Showed up as scheduled to take down a large dead tree on a very hot day. Cut down the tree, hauled off the wood and cleaned up. Will definitely use again for additional jobs. Highly recommend."

"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."

"Beautifully. We choose them in 2014 because they were available after a major storm. In 2014, they repaired major damage to several trees and gave us excellent advice about trees on our property. These people are arborists, not merely tree cutters. In 2016, they moved a 10-ft section of decorative block wall away from a large tree. The results were stunning: you would think that the wall had originally been laid in its current location.. In neither case did we get other bids, but I suspect this firm is a bit pricier than many others. Still, I would ask them for a proposal, for you will get a free education that is worth your time."

"We needed a large tree removed due to the storm and a number of other trees removed for a fence. Also needed some trimming of branches on trees we were keeping along with some stump grinding. They did the job pretty fast and cleaned up everything. We're very happy with the job they did."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Transporting a fully-grown tree requires heavy equipment, typically specialized for the task. A tree spade is a truck-mounted tool that removes the tree from the ground in one location, transports it, and places it in a new hole in a new location. A combination of mechanized shovels and lifts is necessary to move very large trees, and the exact tools often depend on location and the surrounding area.

Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.  

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.
