"Lino and his crew did an excellent job on my paver walkway and adjacent area. Everyone that walks by remarks how great it looks. They were very efficient and professional and worked very hard to complete the job. The price was very reasonable and less than several other estimates."

"Zach, came out during the week to draft an estimate and the work was on a Sunday 08-01-2021. They trimmed several trees, including the ones hanging over the power line. These two guys were very professional, the job may have taken them about 6 or 7 hours. They cleaned up the area and hailed the branches away. Their work was reasonably priced and my yard looks amazing. I will definitely be using them again!!"

"I was very pleased with their service. Very timely, they cleaned up when the work was done, they did three jobs for me 1) 70-foot tree, they got that done in half a day. 2) Business job, cleaned up around 11 trees here... 3) Referenced to my neighbour, they removed 60+ feet trees. Did very well, good teamwork from the crew. They said what they were going to do. I would hire them again!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If you don’t stake a tree that needs support, it could be at greater risk of being damaged or failing completely, whether it uproots or falls over. That could cause damage to your property or other surrounding trees. If you want to grow healthy trees, you may need to stake them for best results.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.
