"The staff were professional, quick to respond to my ad, and kept me up to date on the work progress by text pictures. I was working the day they completed the work at my home. Excellent work on the trees trimming, removal of brushes and mulching of the yard area and flower bed. The best part is they haul away all the tree trimming and bushes! I would hire the company again for future jobs."

Customers say: True professional

"-Knowledgeable concerning the impact of pruning a tree. -Punctual- he gave me a time when his team would arrive and they arrived at the appointed time. He told an estimated time to complete the job and it was done within the time allotted. - Very competent team. The climbers knew what they were doing. Part of the job was removal of large limbs over power lines. They removed the limbs without hitting the lines. The trees I had dopped, did not take any other trees or structures with them. -Has the equipment to deal with trunks as well as branches. The only service that I interviewed that used a chipper. -Last but not least, very reasonably priced. His contact information is on my phone for the next tree project I have."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.
