"This company and its employees did an incredible job. I don’t know that you could trim like they did, my hedges and flower beds looks better then I expected. I will employ anyone that needs any kind of work like mine, I will recommend this company. Again, the work they did was amazing."

"I HIRED BRANDON FROM MR SPARKY to install some new lighting fixtures and outlets in my home. They did an excellent job, from the initial consultation to the final inspection. They were professional, courteous, and punctual. They explained everything clearly and answered all my questions. They also cleaned up after themselves and left no mess behind. The quality of their work was outstanding, and the price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled electrician. Thank you, Mr sparky, for a job well done!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.
