"Brian and crew arrived 2 days after giving the best estimate. They were courteous and professional. They cut down a 40ft tree and cleaned debris in one day. We decided to keep the wood which also helped to keep the cost down. Would definitely use this company again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for tree service."

"I left a message for James via Angi and he immediately responded. He gave us a fair estimate on a tree that could not be reached with equipment. It was labor intensive because his crew had to climb the tree. He arrived when he said he would and did what we asked of him. He was very professional and polite. I will definitely use him the next time we need tree work and I will be happy to share his name with friends."

"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."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trimming a tree can take anywhere from just two hours to a full day, depending on the age of the tree, the number of trees, and the species. Young trees are generally easier to trim, as their branches are often thinner in diameter and easier to reach compared to mature trees. They also tend to be healthier. If you haven’t trimmed your trees before or it’s been a while, the process could take even longer.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.
