"Martin House owner of High Tide services came out to my property and skillfully took down a dozen trees. We had a few close to our house that were potential hazards, and several more that needed to be thinned out. Excellent work, all done in a day. On top of the 12 removed probably another dozen or more got skirted up and thinned out to prevent wind damage. He really improved the look of my property and safety. I highly recommend High Tide services to all home owners and businesses that need arbor work. Safe, effective and really a great person to work with!"

"Adam & Britney (Peak to Valley Builders) were great to work with. They listened by to what I needed and made sure the final project was exactly what I asked for. They showed up when they said they would and were great at communicating with me. When the job was done they picked up everything and left my place in pristine condition. I couldn’t be happier with the final product and highly recommend them for any concrete projects you made need done!"

"Johnny and Cynthia went above and beyond for us. Unbeknownst to us, our property was in an area that required additional permitting from the county. The folks at Gaspar Services not only did the work but they also were instrumental in managing the permits and approvals that were needed for the project. They could have left us to deal with it but they did not do so and they stayed with us every step of the way. I can't recommend them highly enough. Plus - the work that was done was beautiful and they did everything possible to restore areas that had to be scraped, including replanting those areas with grass."

"I had a pine tree that had large branches were growing over my shed and reaching over the edge of the roof of my house. There were times in the past, when the ice covering the branches, that the branches rested upon the power lines. There were two vertical trunks that were twisted upon each other. All of these branches and trunks were removed without harm to my facility and did not hit the power lines. The tree was completely removed and hauled away. Before they left, the clean up the area. Very professional"

"I couldn't truthfully rate on the "value" as it's an insurance claim from a neighbor's tree breaking and landing on one of my buildings. I haven't seen a bill but looking at the job they did I could probably give them a 5 rating. To the rest, the dad, Sam, was very friendly and helpful and always answered the phone or called me immediately back if I had to leave a message. The guys that came out were extremely kind and professional. Their clean up after was great. My yard looks better than before the tree hit."

"Matt and his company did through and quality work. We couldn't have been happier with the end result. He went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the work that was done. We had several bids and he was 1/3 of the cost the others were. But more importantly he stood behind the work he did and was a man of his word which is so hard to find. If you're struggling to find someone who is reliable and does quality work look no further. You won't be dissappointed"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, it’s possible to overwater a newly-planted tree. Daily watering is great for the first few weeks, but it’s important not to go overboard. Excessive watering can lead to various problems, including root rot, fungal diseases, and a lack of root development.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

Pruning is an effective way to prevent a diseased branch from infecting the rest of the tree. If the infection isn’t caught early enough and the pathogen has spread to the trunk or the majority of the branches though, it is too late to prune off the affected areas and you’ll likely need to remove the tree.
