"Blairâ s Landscaping Company team did a great job cleaning out the beds where the shrubs are located. He also trimmed the trees that were growing higher than our garage. I would recommend Mike and his team to offer a fair price for their work"

"We have a huge tree between our property and our neighbor's right on the fence. It was unsafe with branches overhanging both houses. The Down Rite crew topped 10 feet off the top and shaped the tree all the way around making sure there were no unsafe branches over our houses. The clean up was perfect and the price was the best! We will use Down Rite for any future work."

"I can't say enough good things about Angel's Landscaping. The 5 star rating falls short of how pleased we were with their work..should be a 10! Angel took our ideas and built a patio extension and flower beds that far exceeded everything we had imagined. If you hire them, you won't be disappointed! I will use this business for any of our future projects. Thank you Angel's Landscaping for transforming our yard!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

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.
