Frequently Asked Questions

At Stewart Tree Service, our clients are our top priority. We understand that every property is unique, and we take the time to listen to your concerns and tailor our services to meet your specific needs.

What is the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?

Tree trimming typically refers to removing overgrown branches to maintain a tree's shape and appearance, enhancing sunlight and air penetration. Tree pruning is more focused on the health and safety of the tree, involving the removal of dead, diseased, or structurally unsound branches to promote healthy growth.

When is the best time to prune my trees?

The best time to prune most trees is during their dormant season, typically in late winter or early spring. This minimizes stress and encourages vigorous growth in the spring. However, specific trees may have different requirements, so it's best to consult with our certified arborists for personalized advice.

How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?

A tree may need to be removed if it is dead, dying, or poses a safety hazard due to structural issues or disease. Signs include large dead branches, visible decay or fungus, a leaning trunk, or significant damage from storms. Our experts can assess your tree's condition and recommend the best course of action.

What is involved in the tree removal process?

Tree removal involves a thorough assessment of the tree and site, planning for safe and efficient removal, and using specialized equipment to cut down the tree. The process also includes debris cleanup and, if desired, stump grinding to remove any remaining traces of the tree.

What is stump grinding, and why is it important?

Stump grinding involves using a machine to grind down the tree stump below ground level. This process prevents regrowth, eliminates a potential tripping hazard, and enhances the appearance of your landscape. It also helps prevent pests and diseases that can be attracted to decaying stumps.

How often should I have my trees trimmed or pruned?

The frequency of trimming or pruning depends on the tree species, age, and growth rate. Generally, most trees benefit from trimming or pruning every 3 to 5 years. However, trees with rapid growth or those in urban environments may require more frequent attention. Our arborists can provide a maintenance schedule tailored to your trees' needs.

Can you remove a tree that is close to my house or power lines?

Yes, we have the expertise and equipment to safely remove trees in challenging locations, including those near houses, power lines, or other structures. Our team follows strict safety protocols to ensure the tree is removed without causing damage to your property or utilities.

Do you offer emergency tree services?

Yes, we provide emergency tree services for situations where trees pose an immediate risk to safety or property, such as after severe storms. Our team is available 24/7 to respond quickly and efficiently to emergency situations, ensuring your property is safe and secure.
