"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."

"I got quotes from three different arborists, and I felt the most confident with Mark's quote. His team showed up a little early (which is totally ok), and they were FAST. Courteous crew, and did a super job with cleanup. The results met (and perhaps even exceeded) our expectations. Because of their great work, we won't need any tree work for several years, but I know I will call them again when we are ready."

"The Altaview Tree Service team was so great to work with! Brenda stayed on top of everything and kept in contact with me through the permit process, which isn't always the easiest. Once the team was here, they were timely, super efficient, and extremely careful and respectful of the surroundings (including my neighbors yard!). I relied on their expertise regarding the trimming and my maple tree looks so healthy and well taken care of. I'm so happy with this service and can't wait to hire them again for other projects. I will certainly be referring them to friends and neighbors!"

"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!"

"Mark was very professional and they did a great job of cleaning up the site afterward. Only concern was the cost $675 seemed quite high for tree trimming and taking out old branches. But got bids, and Bushman was the most competitive. So tree trimming appears to be one of those more expensive services for some reason."

"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

Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.

You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.

If a tree isn’t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.
