"He and his wife came out to my home on 9/30/17 and trimmed out three oak trees away from my home. The limbs had grown over the top on my home was were starting to scrape the roof some. He was very professional, took his time and made sure as he fell the branches that they were tied off well to keep from hitting the house. I would highly recommend his services to anyone that needs them."

"Larry Wallace from Carolina Tree Service has my highest recommendation. He and his son removed seven trees from around my house and garage. Nothing was damaged, and he cleaned up the area perfectly afterward. He tool the initiative to call me multiple times to arrange the service, and arrived promptly as a true professional should. He was extremely polite, especially to my young children (my little girl was not happy he had to cut down her swing tree). All in all, I would certainly encourage anyone looking for tree removal service to call up Larry. -Fred Bowman"

"Exceptionally well! We agreed upon an 0830hrs start time and the crew arrived spot on, which pleased me greatly. Daniel Falkner Sr. (Owner) promptly suited up, climbed and topped the tree, with his crew performing all needed actions to cable the tree sections away from the home to a safe location expertly. They also removed a leaning, mature, tall Oak, directly positioned to fall on and destroy my new Well House, with equal professionalism and expertise. Seeing these men knew their trade, I had them also remove a mature Pine tree somewhat adjacent to the Poplars that were removed. Their price was fair as a well-coordinated, professional job, which I am very satisfied with! I am a retired General Building Contractor and would hire these men in a heartbeat as they professionally completed their portion of this job. I expect that when I hire anyone and am very pleased with Treemasters, to say the least. They did exactly what they said they would do on time, without issue, for the price they stated, and without stress or concern to me. In all, four large, mature trees were taken down safely and professionally within three hours (we agreed I was responsible for removing the timbers and brush). Even so, Treemasters gathered the trimmings into manageable piles which made my portion of this project easier. Thank you Treemasters for a professional job at a reasonable price!"

"LTE was very professional in their attitude and in completing the contracted job. They were quick efficient and cleaned up after themselves. If you didn't miss the tree - you wouldn't know they had been there. I would hire them again if the occasion arose."

"I had an ancient black walnut tree in my yard that was obviously dying. Two years ago in a short but severe summer storm a huge piece of the tree came down.  Where it broke off it was rotted. There were other clear signs that the tree was in distress.  To make matters worse, what was the biggest part of the tree was leaning toward my circa 1790's house.  I've sweated out every big storm for the past few years.  I had a feeling that the next "Isabelle" would bring the tree down.  It was also 10 feet from an outbuilding and about 30 feet from another one.  There was a very slim area, that if the tree did come down, that it would NOT hit anything.  Odds were, however, not looking good that this would happen!
I called other tree services.  Nobody called me back --EXCEPT-- Jonathan.  As stated above, we played phone tag because it was the holidays.  That was OK.  I wasn't in a hurry and as it wasn't the height of summer storm/hurricane season, it was pretty unlikely the tree was going to fall.
Jonathan came out on the day, at the time he said he would to give me a free estimate.  I liked him right away and could tell from his assessment of the tree that it was indeed in trouble.  As much as I love trees and don't want to cut them, I saw that I really didn't have much choice.  Sooner or later this beautiful tree WAS going to come down.
We again played "phone tag" but finally agreed on the date:  yesterday, a Sunday.
Jonathan and his team arrived at the time we agreed on:  between 8 and 8:30.  This is no fly-by-night tree dude:  he IS a professional, having all the equipment:  bucket truck, Bobcat, an array of different sized saws and equipment to do the job right!  He also took are to be properly harnessed to keep himself safe!  This man KNOWS his stuff - he's not a cowboy with a chain saw!!
He methodically set to the task of taking down the tree with utmost care:  limbing first and making sure the limbs did not hit the outbuilding.  When it got to the bigger pieces of the tree, he tied off the upper sections, making sure that these huge pieces would not come down on the outbuilding nearby. 
Seeing that this tree was so huge, he realized that he needed another piece of equipment for the Bobcat.  There was a break in the action while he and his team went to Crewe Tractor for a "claw"-type thing to lift the pieces of limbs and larger parts of the tree.  He was very concerned about not marring up my lawn too much, but also knew that this would make his job easier, safer and quicker!
Everything went very smoothly!  Of course I cried like a baby when the first few cuts went into the tree.  I love my trees and Jonathan and I discussed that previously.  However, as the tree came down, I saw that it was so sick and dying.  So, even though it still is hard for me to look out and not see it standing guard over the yard as it's done for hundreds of years, it was a good thing that I'd chosen to do this now.
BOTTOM LINE: 
I do plan on using Sadl-er Up Tree Service again for all my other tree work that I plan to have done. 
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SADL-ER UP to anybody who needs any kind of tree work done. 
Jonathan is honest, fair, punctual, concerned about safety and the customer's property and a true professional. 
THANK YOU JONATHAN!!!!

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

Leaf removal costs between $400 and $1,000 per acre on average. Nationally, the cost of leaf removal averages about $350. Cost factors for this project include lawn size, leaf removal method, tree density, location, and the time required to do the job. If your lawn removal service charges based on lawn size, you can expect to pay $0.02 to $0.10 per square foot.

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.
