"Julian is an excellent tree trimmer. He gives super good work and best prices. He goes the extra mile. I was sorry to see him finish our tough, difficult, extensive job because he is so great to work with. We have used many trimmers over the last 30 years but none have come close to the quality of work or service. Hire him you won't ever use anyone else"

"Ben had his team at our house to remove a deadly tree that had limbs hit our house during a storm and do thousands of dollars damage. Ben surveyed the challenging tree, had his guys there within days, and, within hours, the tree was taken down! It was amazing to watch! Expert people, great results and we are thrilled to start Fall and weather season with no further threats from the tree! Highly recommend Ben and his expert crew!!"

"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!"

"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"

"I can highly recommend J Plus Construction after the excellent work they did in transforming my wildly overgrown grass into a beautifully trimmed lawn surrounding my house. Two men worked tirelessly for approximately two hours and did everything I needed to be done with care and attention to my requests. I highly recommend this company."

"Rubens did an excellent job. They were able to start a couple of days earlier than the original date. They completely removed the old driveway and installed a new asphalt driveway that was several feet wider than the original. We are very pleased and would definitely recommend Rubens Landscape & Asphalt."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

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 should prune ornamental trees once every other year after the fruit has matured and begun to drop. You should also prune out dead branches whenever you see them. Pruning too often can stimulate more growth, especially in faster growing varieties like Bradford pears.

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations.
