Do you use spikes to climb the trees?
While we try to avoid the use of spikes, it is sometimes necessary to use spikes if we can't access the area with our equipment or if it doesn't fit.

Do you top trees? 
Topping is not recommended and is actually harmful to trees. We can suggest other ways to treat a tree or suggest other options for pruning or trimming to maintain your desired results.  Please be advised, if you decide to top a tree, it will probably end up in its removal in the future.

When is the best time to prune a tree?
Trees can be pruned year round.

What is the difference between pruning and trimming?
Pruning is a very meticulous process. It involves shaping a tree for the desired shape and health of the tree by removing unruly or unwanted branches. Trimming removes larger branches to maintain shape.

How long will it take to remove a tree?
It never takes longer than a day to remove a tree but the actual time involved will vary depending on the size of the tree.

Why should the stump be removed?
A stump can be removed for planting grass, for aesthetic reasons, or for building on the area in construction zones.

Can I plant a tree where one was removed?
If stated at the time of removal, we can dig deeper to allow you to plant in the area.
