"Of the companies I spoke with and gave me a quote I felt Lambert Treescapes was the most likely to give me what I was looking for. The result was like the perfect haircut. All the goals had been achieved and It looked great but a fresh cut wasn’t obvious. There were a few larger and longer branches that needed to be removed but I do not miss them."

"Mark at NW Arbor Care followed up promptly and came out to see my project which involved trimming several very large branches from 80 feet maples. He gave me a bid on the spot which seemed very reasonable. He clearly trusted his team to work with me, and was he ever right! They were great! Four people who knew what they were doing and worked together like clockwork. They were pleasant, good communicators, knowledgable, and really good at what they did. I'm so happy with the work which exceeded my expectations. They were flexible and thorough. They cleaned up so it looked better than when they came. I will hire them for any tree trimming needs in the future."

"These guys are fantastic. We met with several arborists, and Brenda & Jose impressed us from the moment we met them. One tree was a problematic situation because it was our neighbor's tree that we needed to have the branches removed from our property, and our neighbor was not cooperating. Originally we planned to have the tree cut with a hedge trimer right up the property line. Jose cared enough and hand-cut each branch individually. This tree is at least 75' tall. The other two trees we in our back yard and again, the team at Altaview performed to perfection."

"Miller Tree Service removed several trees from my property. One very bushy 40 ft Leland Cyprus which required a crane to safely remove. Great job protecting other plants and property and removing all the debris."

"4th time hiring American Tree Care and once again they showed up on-time, did all of the promised work - plus some - matched the estimate and was polite, courteous and very efficient. Removed a died-all-of-a-sudden tree plus another heavy-leaning tree near the telephone and power lines and then trimmed huge cedar limbs that were rubbing on the roof. In the end, there is a nice pile of shavings for the walkway, a neat stack of logs for my neighbor to have - and that's it... nothing more to clean up, nothing damaged and no surprises. Don't hire another tree service without talking to American Tree Care first - it's not too good to be true."

"Very well. Worked quickly. Cleaned up when finished. Joe even pruned another smaller tree near the bigger one as an extra bonus. Very happy with the look of the trees and the quick and thorough manner in which the work was completed and cleaned up!"

"These guys are truly professional tree removers. They removed a 100 foot tall double trunk birch tree from my front yard, and ground the stump. This was a big tree. This tree was in a very difficult spot to remove. It was right next to my house, and just a few feet from my main electrical line coming from the power pole. Oh, it was just a few feet from the power lines out on the street. I can't tell you how carefull they had to be to do this job without damaging my house, taking out my main line, or taking out the power to the rest of the neighborhood. They placed every limb exactly where they wanted them to fall. I highly recommend these guys for any tree service. I will use them again in the future for all my tree removal needs. They cleaned up the job site too. They blow off my roof, bushes, walkway, and driveway. They started at 8am and were done by 3pm. If you have a dangerous or difficult tree to remove, these guys can do it, and do it right.

"I highly recommend Suave and Sons Tree Work for anyone in need of tree services. They did an excellent job removing a large, difficult tree that was located VERY close to our house. The process was smooth and efficient, and the crew was clean and professional. The owner, Joel, was a pleasure to work with. He was easy to contact and was onsite working along the guys during the job. All of the guys were also very friendly and respectful. Overall, we had a great experience with this company and would not hesitate to use them again in the future."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.

Most tree removals take 3-8 hours, requiring additional time for stump grinding or debris hauling.

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.
