"George from Catman Tree Service was awesome! We hired him to take down two rather large Ash trees that were being eaten by Emerald Ash Borers. He was friendly, dropped the trees exactly where we wanted them, and even cleaned up afterwards. Fantastic job!!"
"By FAR, the best quote and thorough job completed. Monster Tree Service even returned after the ground thawed in Spring to grind the stump, as promised at the time of original quote and service, without me ever needing to contact them to inquire. I can not recommend them any higher than 5 stars or I would have."
"Amazing to work with. Same day estimate and work was completed the next day. My job was high risk, tree was hanging over my parking garage. They had incredible equipment that made the job get completed with ease. Only hiring this company for all things tree service related in the future!"
"Bigfoot Stump Grinding did a fantastic job for me. I had several tree stumps as well as several very large bushes that needed to be removed. He worked diligently on each project, did a great job cleaning up and charged a reasonable fee. Would certainly hire him again should I need his services."
"My hunting land needed stumps, trees and brush removed and a trail system created. Evan came out and walked the 90 acres with me. I explained what my ideas were for improving the hunting on the property. He did make some recommendations for the land and repairs to the pond. He had improvements on other properties, which worked well his customers.
I gave him my budget and he believed he would be in budget. Some issues come up on my side and they were very willing to work me get it done. My hunting party and I are very happy with the work done. My 76 yr old father in law and friend that had a stroke can easily navigate for hunting. They worked long days due to a rain delay. This was to stay on the work schedule for the next customer. I would HIGHLY recommend Evan and Josh for rotary head and high hoe work. My neighbors and I have another project we are planning for the next year.
I wanted to load photos of the work done, but the app will not let me."
"Brice is great to work with and does exceptional work. The tree/stump removal (very old and big Ash tree) and tree stump removal on other trees on the property went without a hitch. We hired him back for landscaping work. Would definitely hire him again."
You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.
An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.
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.
Homeowners are usually not responsible for trees that fall on power lines. Power companies usually have utility easements around power lines, which give them the responsibility to maintain any trees within about 15 to 20 feet of the lines.
It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.
