"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."

"This was the 3rd time we called Olinger’s. This time we had one tree that had crashed thru our backyard fence, and another that had fallen but was hanging mere feet from wrecking another part of our fence. As usual, we were given a very fair quote. The crew was right on time and again were extremely careful with all their work. Not only did they cut and neatly stack all the wood that was cut, but they also cleared a hiking trail adjacent to our property. They’re professional, extremely competent, and a terrific value. Most importantly I trust them completely. A real joy to work with."

"This team did an outstanding job cleaning up the tangled mess of fallen trees and vines from a storm a few months earlier. Not only were they able to start a day early, but they completed it the same day. My request was to remove 3 fallen trees (one was a very large white oak), but they volunteered to clean up all of the trees and vines along the road! I was duly impressed with their efficiency, professionalism, and demeanor! I have worked with several different tree service professionals in the area, but this team did the best job, by far, of any of the others and exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend them!"

"Communication, expertise, fulfilling commitment with skill and care were all top notch. I would say Willy goes "the extra mile" to do a great job. The job on my property consisted to taking down a huge ash tree, a second ash tree, and numerous cedar and pine trees, plus some trimming. I was left with 2 huge piles of wood chips I totally appreciate having for my yard! Willy and his team worked tirelessly for hours and did a great job for a very fair and reasonable rate. I highly recommend this company!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.

While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of interfering with overhead power lines. It’s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it’s essential to ensure your tree isn’t in danger of growing too close to them.

Consumers typically do not need to worry about the cost of tree insurance, as professional tree service companies pay for their own coverage. For a tree service business, an average U.S. policy covering about $1 million in general liability costs roughly $40 a month or $500 a year. More extensive policies, providing between $500,000 to $2 million in coverage, can cost between $3,000 and $6,000 annually, depending on the company's size and scope of work. Tree service professionals should speak with an insurance company to determine the right plan for their business.

The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.
