"I hired Arborex Tree Services LLC to prune three large Southern Red Oaks in my front, side and back yards in Medfield Estates, and at a very reasonable price. They are licensed and insured, and came to do the job within just a couple days of my approving the estimate. Using a combination of a far-reaching bucket truck where applicable, and rope-climbing in the more sensitive areas (they did not use spikes on their boots that might have injured the trees) they removed large dead branches threatening to fall on their own, and live branches overhanging the house. In all cases when there was danger of damage below, they lowered the limbs with ropes rather than dropping them. The crew of four were efficient, skilled, safety-conscious, friendly, and courteous. Their coordinated efforts made the work go smoothly and quickly, and it was pure pleasure to watch them work. The limbs were cut, removed, ground up & hauled away, and the area raked clean such that there was little or no evidence they had been there. I will hire them again when the time comes to prune (or remove) more trees."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

In Durham, most tree removal projects on private property require a permit if the tree is over 8 inches in diameter, as outlined by the City of Durham Urban Forestry Division. Heritage trees, defined as those over 24 inches, are subject to additional protections and review. For any tree trimming or removal involving street trees or public rights-of-way, a separate permit from Durham Public Works is necessary. Always consult an ISA Certified Arborist and verify requirements with local authorities before starting.

Helpful?

In Durham, tree service professionals should follow ANSI A300 and OSHA safety standards, using protective equipment like hard hats, safety glasses, and cut-resistant gloves. Only trained personnel should operate chainsaws or perform tree cutting near power lines. The Durham Fire Department recommends keeping a safe perimeter to protect bystanders. Hiring a contractor with documented safety protocols and proper insurance is essential for peace of mind during tree removal or tree trimming.

Helpful?

In Sarasota, frequent mistakes include neglecting to secure required permits, improper pruning techniques like "topping" and delaying hurricane preparation. Homeowners sometimes hire unlicensed contractors, risking non-compliance with City of Sarasota regulations. Over-mulching or planting too close to structures can also cause long-term issues. Consulting certified arborists and referencing the Sarasota County Tree Ordinance can help you avoid these pitfalls.

Helpful?

In Durham, be wary of tree service providers who offer vague or unusually low estimates, refuse to show proof of liability insurance, or lack credentials from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture. Avoid contractors who pressure you for immediate decisions or request full payment upfront. The City of Durham Urban Forestry Division recommends choosing professionals with local references, written contracts, and a clear understanding of permit requirements for tree removal or tree trimming.

Helpful?

In Durham, homeowners often encounter unexpected costs related to tree service, such as permit fees required by the City of Durham Urban Forestry Division, stump grinding, or specialized disposal of large debris. If underground utilities are present, locating services may be necessary. Additional expenses can arise if tree cutting reveals disease or structural issues. Request a detailed, written estimate and clarify all potential add-ons with your contractor before work begins.
