"They were hard working,did everything we asked them to. They removed 2 large trees and cleaned up all the debris. They even raked the bits out of the grass. The job took a little longer than expected but the quoted price did not change. Over all a great experience. Thank you 5C Tree Cutters."

"Trimming was complete and nice cleanup done.   The workers even went out of their way to cleanup branches that had been cut down by a fence vendor and just left behind the fence.
Vendor very willing to work with change of plan on what needed done during the service.  Originally Cottonwood was going to be trimmed but in such poor shape, dangerous for climber and wouldn't last much longer so decided to remove.
Tree and stump that was removed....   used stump grinder.  All of the stump debris was left and was told it would disappear shortly by being watered.  It is still there after 3 months, will need to remove ourselves.  Also...some large roots coming off of this tree within a couple of feet are still there and poking out of the ground.  They were hidden under the stump debris.  We will need to dig out. in order to level ground.   I wouldn't hesitate to use vendor again but would be more forceful in making sure all of  the cleanup on a stump removal was done and check for problems with roots.  I attribute this issue to the fact that this work was done late in the day and it was getting dark.

"It was a fantastic job. They listen to everything we instructed them. They were safe. They did a good job in cleaning after they finished. They were on time. They came when they said they would. And I felt their pricing was reasonable for the work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.

The average lifespan of an oak tree is 100 to 300 years, so long as it isn’t impacted by diseases like sudden oak death. Some species will last shorter or longer, depending on where you live.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.
