Standard jobs usually get scheduled within a few business days, depending on our current workload.

When you call, describe the situation clearly so we can figure out the right response time and send the right crew and equipment for your job.
Trimming is generally the routine cutting done to manage a tree's size and shape for looks or clearance. Pruning is more targeted it's about long-term health and structural soundness, removing deadwood, crossing limbs, and weak attachment points. Most trees benefit from a mix of both, and the right balance depends on the tree's age, species, and condition. We'll recommend the right approach after an on-site look.
It really comes down to the species, how big the canopy and root zone will eventually get, and the distance from the structure. Large-canopy species with aggressive roots shouldn't go within 20 to 30 feet of a foundation. Smaller ornamental trees can often work closer in. We give species-specific guidance as part of any planting consultation, so the tree you plant today doesn't become a foundation problem fifteen years from now.
First, stay well away from any tree touching or leaning toward power lines don't try to cut or move anything near electrical infrastructure. Rope off the area around fallen or hanging limbs and keep people and pets clear. Call the utility company if power lines are involved, then call us to assess and handle the hazard. Don't attempt major storm cleanup on your own hanging wood and heaved root systems can shift without warning.
A dead tree usually shows detaching bark, no leaf buds when there should be, small branches that snap cleanly instead of bending, fungal growth at the base, and canopy dieback with no new growth anywhere. A stressed tree tends to show partial leaf drop, reduced vigor, discoloration, or early fall color. The distinction matters stressed trees can often be treated and saved, dead ones need to come down. When you're not sure, get a professional look rather than guessing either way.
