WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Punctual and honest! We had GTS come out for a quote on a few trees that looked like they might need some attention and Kevin kept it real with us, didn’t try to sell us on work that didn’t need to be completed.

Avoid Stress With Professional Tree Removal Services
After your tree removal is complete, be sure to consult with our experts about what to plant in place of the old tree. Many times, customers will want to plant another tree in its place. Since trees are such long-lived organisms, it is important to consider the suitability of a tree to a certain spot to give it the best chance to thrive. Our training as arborists can help you decide what new tree or plant will be best in the location of the tree that was removed.
Plant Health Care Is Cost-Effective
By allowing our landscape professionals to oversee planting, fertilization, pruning, soil management, and mulching your plants will be healthy enough to protect themselves.
Effective Insect and Disease Treatment
Insect infestation and disease can ravage plants. Our experience gives us the knowledge to treat active infestations that could potentially save you trees and shrubs.
Our plant experts will tailor a program specifically for your landscaping. The following are part of our ornamental insect and disease control programs.
- Care for Dogwood Anthracnose
- Rhododendron & Azalea protection from Azalea Lace Bug
- Elm tree protection for Elm bark beetles

Tree Trimming and Pruning
Improper pruning techniques can devastate trees and shrubs and cause lasting problems. That’s why our crews always follow ANSI A300 standards approved by the TCIA. Pruning keeps trees healthy by promoting strong structure. Strong trees help minimize the risk of damage by removing dead, diseased, or weak branches prone to breaking.
Some of the goals of pruning or trimming trees are:
- Thinning inner growth to allow better light penetration and air circulation
- Reducing the height of a tree or shrub to give clearance for a structure
- Removing dead or diseased branches to protect the tree from further damage
- Balance the tree so it is less likely to uproot and fall over
- Increased fruit or flowering production in ornamentals, fruit trees, and nut trees
At General Tree Service, we love helping our customers enjoy their trees. Part of that means pruning and trimming trees for their health. If you have concerns about a tree or you know it needs pruning, don’t leave the job to amateurs. Call the professionals at General Tree Service today.
Stump Grinding
Stump grinding is a process that uses a special machine to reduce a stump and most of the subterranean root structure to wood chips. A large blade is lowered onto the stump, grinding it into pieces. The whole process is quick and easy. Once we’re done, new plants can be planted in place of the stump so that you can get your landscape looking good once again.
Why You Might Need Emergency Tree Service
Some instances where emergency tree service may be required are:
- Large limbs or trees have fallen on a home or business
- Tree debris is blocking a roadway
- Trees are encroaching or have damaged power lines
- Winds have uprooted a tree and pushed it towards structures
All of these instances require immediate attention to restore safety to the area. At General Tree Service, we keep crews on call at all hours to respond to tree emergencies. Whenever you encounter an emergency, get to safety, and give us a call. We will respond immediately to eliminate the threat.
