"Top notch crew and office folks. I had one company that came out that wanted to take 35’ off the top of one of my trees in the back yard and Brandon informed me that would actually stress the tree and not be good for its overall health. They could have made a lot more money if they topped the tree but they cared more about the health of the tree instead. Would definitely hire them again going forward with any other tree or bush needs in the future."

"I needed two stumps removed and this company came to my rescue. They grinned both stumps in less than 30 minutes (even got rid of the roots for me), cleaned the job site, and left. Neil was super professional and responsive and beat any other quote I had for the job. Highly recommend them for your tree service needs."

"Amazing team. Great service. Super clean and professional. We had many large trees that needed to be trimmed and/or removed in addition to fruit trees that needed to be tended. I can not recommend them highly enough. They went above and beyond to be sure everything was the way we wanted and absorbed several last minute requests. All was done exactly as promised in terms of cost and timeliness."

"I had a dead tree that needed to be removed. Due to the location and accessability, I was concerned that having the tree removed would damage our landscaping. Crazyviking came out, surveyed the area, explained, step by step, how he would remove tree, how long it would take and assured me that he would do his best to protect the surrounding areas. We set a date for 2 days later, he arrived, removed the tree exactly like he said he would, chopped and stacked the fallen tree into pieces that I could burn in my fire pit. I highly recommend Crazyviking and I will call them if, in the future, I need help with any of our trees"

Customers say: Quality work

"Tree-works removed 2 large trees at a fair price. The wood they left was in 2 nice stacks. It had to be split into quarter rounds to move it up to the area where we wanted it and the rest of the property was spotless. Very hardworking and professional crew. I would highly recommend."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

The cost of professional tree trimming averages $460, with a typical range between $200 and $760. However, prices can be as low as $75 or as high as $1,800 depending on several factors. The size and type of the tree are major cost drivers; for example, trimming Crepe Myrtle trees costs an average of $80 to $400, while trimming giant pine trees can range from $200 to $1,800. Other factors that influence the price include the time of year, as services are often more costly in the spring. The tree's accessibility and your location also play a role, as a remote or hard-to-reach tree may increase the cost. Some professionals may offer a discount if you have multiple trees to trim.

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

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.
