"Great team, fast work, and excellent skill in handling and maneuvering around difficult lots. They've got a packed schedule, but they're prompt and responsive with sorting out scheduling and getting crews out to work on time. Mr. Ross is super knowledgeable about trees and plants and has an eye for detail and problems that other people would easily overlook, and is honest about his and his company's work. Highly recommended for tree work in matters both big and small. We've already worked with them once before, and we're happy after this second time to have them come out again when we need them to."
Ross Tree Service owns a bucket truck for the more complicated jobs. We also contract a crane company with a highly experienced crane operator.

"Excellent service. I called to setup a consultation for the removal of a dead tree in my backyard. Their foreman arrived on the same day (on a weekend) and gave me a quote to remove the dead tree as well as some brush in the general area. Work was completed during that week and the crew did an excellent job cleaning everything up. Would definitely hire again."

"Gordon Frazier tree service did a phenomenal job. They removed very large trees in a challenging environment surrounded by decks and awnings. They meticulously lowered every tree piece and took care to not damage anything. They finished ahead of schedule and by far had the best price around. We even added extra trees to the project and they obliged at a more than reasonable price. I would not hesitate to utilize their services again and would recommend them to anyone in need of tree service!"

"H and C Tree Service did an excellent job, they removed a large tree very close to my house, they ground the stump completely, did landscaping to cover the area the tree had occupied. The company did considerable more work on other trees, shrubs and plants. When they finished, there was no mess. The company and their employees were very professional and I highly recommend H and C and I will use them again."

"Quick service - came out for estimate in the morning, had the team out to complete the work that afternoon. Not only did tree trimming and debris haul away, but refreshed the mulch and stone underneath, and weeded yard, trimmed bushes. Great pricing, professional, would hire again."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

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.

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.

Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they’re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.

The cost of professional tree service, such as trimming, is $460 on average, but the price can range from $75 to $1,800. A more typical range is between $200 and $760. The final price depends on several factors, including the size and type of the tree. For example, trimming Crepe Myrtle trees costs an average of $80 to $400, while giant pine trees can range from $200 to $1,800. Other factors that influence the cost include the time of year, as services are often more expensive in the spring. Your location can also play a role; costs may be higher if you live in a remote area or if the tree is difficult to access. However, some professionals may offer a discount if you have multiple trees that need service.
