"A couple of weeks ago Cornerstone removed several trees and trimmed several more. Dave and his crew were fantastic. They have outstanding equipment and are very organized in their work. The most impressive part of the job was how they cleaned up everything. They were the only ones who responded to my call. Their was very fair. I would highly recommend Cornerstone for your needs.

"We had a tree to remove in a tricky spot near high intensity power lines. Their service was professional and we had no issues whatsoever. They took the tree down, cleared the debris and swept the lawn clean. So professional. We hope to have them back soon to remove at least two more trees. We recommend them to anyone needing tree work."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Trimming a tree can take anywhere from just two hours to a full day, depending on the age of the tree, the number of trees, and the species. Young trees are generally easier to trim, as their branches are often thinner in diameter and easier to reach compared to mature trees. They also tend to be healthier. If you haven’t trimmed your trees before or it’s been a while, the process could take even longer.

Stay inside or well away until the storm passes. Don’t go outside to inspect the tree until the weather clears, especially if the tree is on a hill or isolated in a field. Lightning often strikes the same easily-accessed places multiple times, and you could be a new target. If a lightning strike causes a noticeable fire, alert emergency services. When the storm is over, take a closer look to gauge the damage done.

A tree branch should start to form roots in about three months. It can take about a year for a tree branch to develop roots strong enough to go in the ground. For best results, start several branches because, no matter how closely you follow instructions, they won’t all form roots. Compost any that aren’t thriving.

Professionals ensure safety, prevent property damage, and handle debris efficiently.

Removing tree stumps is a dangerous and complex job that requires a high level of expertise. Many landscapers specialize in general lawn care and maintenance. But, some may have the proper licensing and qualifications needed to safely remove tree stumps. In most cases, though, landscapers will refer you to a local tree removal or stump grinding company.
