"I had an excellent experience with Tree Brothers! From start to finish, their professionalism and attention to detail really stood out. Adam and Toni were both fantastic responsive, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. They made what could have been a stressful job feel smooth and easy. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and left the yard spotless after removing several large trees. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend Tree Brothers to anyone looking for reliable and top-quality tree removal services!"

Preparing to safely fall the whole tree in order to cut logs for milling.
Approaching the tree with the tractor and grapple.  Lawn is protected from tractor tire damage.
The old pine could no longer fend off the beetles.  2021 was a hot, dry summer and unfortunately many trees were lost.  The fall zone for this large tree was tight, but with some careful preparations and precautions, the tree was successfully felled with no collateral damage.

"Sure Cut Tree Service was excellent in every way. I received a fair bid, and the project started the next day. Communication by phone, text, and email was timely and appropriate. The work was completed on time and exceeded my expectations. As part of the project, Sure Cut removed three mature ponderosa pines close to power lines and my neighbor's home. My neighbor was also pleased with their professionalism and friendliness! Well done, Nick."

"Adam and his crew do amazing work. I was able to get a project quote promptly and communication from the start was great. My project quote was competitively priced and Adam was able to offer insight and options to meet my needs. They took down several trees and brush and I was very happy with the end product, clean up, and care they showed my lawn. I plan to utilize them for every tree service I need in the future."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.
