"They were exceptional! They treated my lawn and tree with exceptional care. The tree was a grandmother Birch that has stood in front of my front door for about 40 years, but it was her time to go. They took her down and cut the wood into 18 inch lengths. This will be donated to an elderly couple that need wood for heat."

"We hired Josh to cut down and remove two very large dying trees on our property. The trees were located very close to power line so we wanted to make sure we hired the right company to remove the trees safely. Josh was able to take down the trees safely and removed all of the debris. He showed up on time, as scheduled and worked tirelessly to finish the project on schedule. He left the property looking much better than we expected. We were so happy with the tree removal that we hired him to return to help us with our apple orchid. The apple orchid is an old orchard and has not been trimmed in probably 20 or more years. Josh was able to open up the trees. We’re we’re able to harvest apples for the first time since we owned the property. As an added bonus, we had a tree that we weren’t sure what it was. After Josh trimmed it, we got the first plums ever. I entered them in the local county fair and we got a blue ribbon! Josh is honest, hardworking, and will complete your project as promised with integrity. Need I say more."

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring Joe Candido of Avalon Tree Service to remove a 100 + foot tree on my property. It had needed to come down for quite some time and a recent wind burst had caused a large branch to come crashing down in my yard in the middle of the night. I received multiple quotes and they came in a wide variety of pricing and the methods that would be used to take down the tree. One thing that struck me about Joe was that he called me right back after I left him a voicemail and set a time to come look at the tree. Upon arrival he looked at the tree and took videos and pictures of it and said he would be back in touch soon to review the method he would use to take it down and what my cost would be. A few days later Joe called me back and we set a time to meet. Joe was very detailed on how he would tackle the job, when he could do it and how much it would cost. I was so impressed on how detailed he was and that his method (climbing the tree and cutting it down) would have the least amount of damage to my property. All the other companies I spoke with said they needed to get a bucket truck or a crane to do the job and that I should plan on having some serious damage to my lawn and the stone wall surrounding it. I decided to go with Avalon and I was not disappointed. Joe came early on a Saturday morning with his impressive array of chainsaws (small, medium and gigantic) and climbing tools. It took the entire day and piece by piece the tree came down until it was just a stump. I am very happy with the job that was done and the fact that everything was cleaned up and there was no damage to my lawn or my wall. I found Joe very knowledgeable and friendly and most of all responsive to my questions and concerns. In my opinion its very rare to find any contractor that returns your calls and does what they say they are going to do at the agreed upon price and that is why I would not hesitate to recommended Joe and Avalon Tree Service."

I have always had a passion for trees dating back to my dendrology classes at Miami University. That passion has fueled many years in the arboriculture industry as a crew leader and climber. I'm happy to consult with you on your trees or shrubs and options to explore to preserve them for the long-term. Being an ISA Certified Arborist, I'm always striving to keep up with industry standards and grow myself.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trees should be pruned every two to five years, depending on its age and type. Young trees should be inspected and pruned every two to three years. Mature trees should be inspected and trimmed every three to five years, and fruit trees should be pruned annually with a careful eye on seasonal growth. Evergreens typically don’t need pruning, unless branches or limbs are damaged, diseased, or harboring pests.

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

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.

Talking with a septic pro before planting trees near your tank is best to ensure the roots won’t interfere with your septic system. However, there is an easy way to figure out where to plant a tree—but you’ll need to know how tall it can get when it’s fully grown. For instance, if the tree can reach 50 feet, plant it at least 50 feet from your septic system.

DIY home gardening can be relaxing, joyful, and cost-effective. From mowing your lawn to planting your own flower beds, there is a wide variety of gardening tasks that you can do yourself to make your yard look beautiful. If you’d rather spend your time not in the dirt, or if you’d like someone to take care of your plants for you, calling a professional gardening service is best. They can give you a workup of what services you’ll need and how often to schedule them.
