"Steve Danley runs a tight ship. His crew worked tirelessly, efficiently, and left the yard cleaner than it was when they got here. They did everything mentioned in the quote and a little extra. I found them to be reasonably priced (especially having witnessed the intensive labor in hot weather), on time, and accommodating. This is my second time to use Alabama Tree Surgeon and I highly recommend them."

"These guys were amazing! They actually did my roof from the time I called them until the time they finished cleaning up and left my house in under 3 days! Don’t think by this that I mean they did a rush job because quite the contrary, these guys went the extra mile to make sure they did an excellent job! They gave me better material than they quoted and they left me with extra shingles and supplies for when the next storm hits. These guys take pride in their work! They did all the little things that add up to a great job! They put their nails in in a straight line for Pete’s sake. If there was a spot that was questionable if it should get a nail or not, it got a nail every time. From the speed they completed my roof in to the quality of the installation, I could not recommend Blue Moose any higher. If you need a roofer, call Brian, you wont be disappointed!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.
