To all our customers currently waiting on work, we are currently working the emergency storm call at Kahola Lake. There are multiple trees down that damaged structures and other safety issues that need to be addressed. We value all our customers and apologize for the wait. We just completed the storm call for Olivet, KS and will be working diligently to complete the emergency work at Kahola Lake as quickly as we can and proceed with our regular schedule. We prioritize emergency work to eliminate immediate dangers to people, such as broken branches ("widow makers") still hanging in trees, trees leaning on homes, or trees blocking driveways, etc to restore public safety and allow other contractors to move around safely to make homes and properties safe.

Thank you for your patience.

As we were working on trees in the Olivet, KS area a few local schools (Melvrin and Marais Des Cygne) volunteered to pickup trash, debris from trees and buildings around the community. Truly awesome, great kids.

Be aware! A tree service company is moving through Emporia, Kansas. It's fine they are doing work. I think it's awesome people are working in this cold and trying to make homes safe, but they entered someone's property, began cutting on her tree without permission, then approached the resident explaining to her that she needed to remove her tree because it was at risk of exploding and landing on her home. The company offered their service to remove the tree for $8,500. Resident said no, they were persistent and managed to drop the price to $4,500 and the resident still said no. The resident told the company she has a company that already works on her trees. The resident asked for the company's information and they went to the truck to get it and never came back.

I received a phone call about the potential of an exploding tree from the resident along with the issue of the company cutting on the tree without permission.

I went to the residence, looked for potential tree failure in the area around the home and saw nothing but saw dust and a few twigs. I reviewed the tree to find substandard pruning. There was no potential for tree failure over the resident's hone. The tree pruned on was a small silver maple in the back yard, structurally sound.

The ideal pruning zone and ideal size for reduction cuts are explained in Prescriptive Pruning by Lindsey Purcell. A more indepth look and explanation. Very good video listed below.
