"I should have called The Tree Brothers years ago. I thought the job (taking down 9 trees near buildings on the property) would be complicated and leave a mess. When Adam came to offer a very reasonable quote he assured me that he had the tools and knowledge to get the job done. He was professional from quote to finishing the job. I’ll be recommending The Tree Brothers to my neighbors and will reach out for the next phase later this year."

"Ryan was incredibly helpful and did a wonderful job pruning and clearing out some of my broken branches and dead trees. I would absolutely hire from here again. Very happy with my service!"
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."

"Curtis and his team came to my place early in the day to take out two trees that were right next to my vinyl fence. They did a great job taking them down cleaning up and taking off all the debris and wood rounds. Very satisfied would use them again. Tony M."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

The cost of professional tree service, such as trimming, is $460 on average, but the price can range from $75 to $1,800. A more typical range is between $200 and $760. The final price depends on several factors, including the size and type of the tree. For example, trimming Crepe Myrtle trees costs an average of $80 to $400, while giant pine trees can range from $200 to $1,800. Other factors that influence the cost include the time of year, as services are often more expensive in the spring. Your location can also play a role; costs may be higher if you live in a remote area or if the tree is difficult to access. However, some professionals may offer a discount if you have multiple trees that need service.

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.
