"Mark at NW Arbor Care followed up promptly and came out to see my project which involved trimming several very large branches from 80 feet maples. He gave me a bid on the spot which seemed very reasonable. He clearly trusted his team to work with me, and was he ever right! They were great! Four people who knew what they were doing and worked together like clockwork. They were pleasant, good communicators, knowledgable, and really good at what they did. I'm so happy with the work which exceeded my expectations. They were flexible and thorough. They cleaned up so it looked better than when they came. I will hire them for any tree trimming needs in the future."

"These guys are fantastic. We met with several arborists, and Brenda & Jose impressed us from the moment we met them. One tree was a problematic situation because it was our neighbor's tree that we needed to have the branches removed from our property, and our neighbor was not cooperating. Originally we planned to have the tree cut with a hedge trimer right up the property line. Jose cared enough and hand-cut each branch individually. This tree is at least 75' tall. The other two trees we in our back yard and again, the team at Altaview performed to perfection."

"The crew showed up on time with all of the right equipment and worked together to take down two trees, chip all of the branches and section up the logs... for the quoted price. No foul mouthed workers, no sketchy tactics or tools no damage to anything and no $$ games. True professionals. Wow. I would hire them again and I think you should too."

"I highly recommend Suave and Sons Tree Work for anyone in need of tree services. They did an excellent job removing a large, difficult tree that was located VERY close to our house. The process was smooth and efficient, and the crew was clean and professional. The owner, Joel, was a pleasure to work with. He was easy to contact and was onsite working along the guys during the job. All of the guys were also very friendly and respectful. Overall, we had a great experience with this company and would not hesitate to use them again in the future."

"I've engaged a couple other tree service companies in the past for my wooded home plot, but always felt like they were trying to sell me on additional items that I didn't need. One service showed up for my latest job to give an estimate and immediately began pointing out 9 trees that needed to come down "immediately" because they were "dangerous," quoting $1,000 per tree - all I wanted was trimming limbs back from the main electrical line to my house. Bear Creek sent an experienced arborist for an estimate, and he proceeded to teach me about the various trees, explained where the previous company was wrong in their assessment and that they were trying to take advantage of me. The amount of knowledge Bear Creek had, and their honesty in their assessment and not selling me on items I didn't need, showed how trustworthy they were. When they came out for the job, they arrived a little early, all wore masks, observed social distancing and other Covid related rules, performed an amazing job, and thoroughly cleaned up when they were done. They also offered to provide me the wood chips if I wanted them - I did - and they were kind enough to deliver the huge pile to a location in the back of the lot, and they volunteered to chip random fallen branches along the way. They did such a great job that I hired them a second time to clean up and chip other fallen branches and brush piles, again showed up early and did a superb job, including volunteering to cut up the remainder of a fallen tree that had blocked my secondary driveway. I'm extremely happy with the job and results from Bear Creek, and will definitely be using them as my go-to tree service company moving forward!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task. 

Palm trees will not regrow from a stump once the tree has been cut down. This type of tree is unique because the root and stump system will slowly decay after the tree is gone, unlike other species that can regrow. That’s why it’s preferable to remove dead or decaying palm tree stumps quickly as they can become an eyesore and don’t offer future growing potential.

Some trees, such as silver maples, birches, sycamores, and scotch pines, shed their bark naturally. If your tree is not one that does this, it might have fallen prey to pests, fungi, or diseases. It could also simply be suffering from an extreme weather change, such as a snowstorm or heat wave. If you’re still stumped, consulting with a pro can help you diagnose your tree’s specific problem.

Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you’ll have to just wait and see—if the drought occurs in wintertime, it’s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.
