"Mike and his team at Highlander Tree Service recently removed a maple tree from a steep incline location. From the beginning of communication with Mike, he was friendly, knowledgeable and very efficient with immediate cost information. He not only quoted the price, but offered to do other helpful tasks with a willingness that is so refreshing. Mike and Nick worked this process with skill and such carefulness in the surrounding area and also the clean-up process was impeccable. I highly recommend their service and work ethics. Thank you, Highlander Logging and Tree Service!"

"Cliff came out very quickly and gave bid for assembly of pergola kit and one additional small porch cover. His carpenters came out as scheduled, did a great job, cleaned up afterwards. Couldn’t be happier!"

"Greg did a fantastic job for us. He ground up 4 tree stumps and even went above and beyond by grinding up a bed with huge blackberry nodules and ground cloth. We can now plant in this bed. He’s great to work with, pleasant and professional, prompt and a good communicator. I’d hire him again in a minute!"

"Professional and flexible. They were incredible. I had to change the scope of the project when they were actual doing it. They accommodated three changes and they did not over charge me even though they knew I could not go elsewhere. I highly recommend them for the value too. The other quotes I obtained were almost double."

"Great Job, was able to change day and show up for an earlier date to get a quote. We decided on a reasonable price for the work that day and started work two days later. They stated the work could take 2 days but they finished in one day and got it all done. We were very happy with the final product. We will do services with them again."

"George did a fine job on my current project! Completely replaced damaged and wet rot framing on the front end of my mobile home including the window with a quality solid wood, caulking, prime and paint. It looks wonderful! Winter doesn't stand a chance now. Great communication throughout, on time, knowledgeable, friendly, polite and very easy to work with. He answers every question and gets to work! Everything is clean. Professional work, timeframe and cost are reasonable. I'm so pleased and impressed with the entire process and final result! I will gladly recommend JD Maintenance and Repair to anyone needing home maintenance and repair services. It was a pleasure and will be ongoing!"

"AMAZING CREW! Only thing to hit the roof was some sawdust and some leaves, which, when you consider that the large diameter branches were fully above and beyond my pump house, fence and many other trees. My wife and I absolutely could not be any happier. Thank you Mike and Crew, we greatly appreciate the fantastic job that you did!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Consumers typically do not need to worry about the cost of tree insurance, as professional tree service companies pay for their own coverage. For a tree service business, an average U.S. policy covering about $1 million in general liability costs roughly $40 a month or $500 a year. More extensive policies, providing between $500,000 to $2 million in coverage, can cost between $3,000 and $6,000 annually, depending on the company's size and scope of work. Tree service professionals should speak with an insurance company to determine the right plan for their business.

Your local government is usually in charge of pruning trees on public property, and the power company is responsible for trees near power lines (even if they’re on your property). Whether or not they top these trees depends on their approach to pruning. You won’t be able to do much to control this, but you can contact them to find out more about their pruning process.

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.
