"Precision Tree did a wonderful job taking down our 43 year old Silver Maple tree. They were very professional and showed up on time as promised even though it was only in the teens they spent 6 hours out in the cold. We still need to have the stump removed which they will be coming back to do. I would definitely recommend Precision Tree Service."

"Very knowledgeable, professional and prompt. Whole crew worked efficiently and did a marvelous job with cleanup. They worked very well with the homeowners and made sure we were satisfied with the work. We had a large tree in a difficult place alongside a fence to remove, and they accomplished the job with great results."

"I had an old tree that I was scared was going to fall on my house. Jimmy came out and gave a free estimate. He was professional and gave a good price. They came out at the scheduled time and cleaned it up very nicely. I would definitely recommend them to anybody who needs any tree work."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

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.

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

Palm trees are unique in that their roots don't grow straight down; they grow horizontally. Typically, palm tree roots go down between 12 and 36 inches deep. The roots grow far and wide from the base of the palm tree to absorb as much water and soil nutrients as possible. In addition, the horizontal roots are also very strong—keeping palm trees stable and helping them sway during storms.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.
