"I’ve been using Tyce’s Tree Service for over seven years. I highly recommend them not only to trim and remove trees, but also for any of your heavy yard-maintenance needs (plant care is not their strong suit). They are particularly good at tree removal and rock constructions, but they will do any heavy duty yard tasks. During this time I have used them on over 50 projects including: • removing about 20 trees • procuring & delivering 4-6 yards of landscape mulch, soil, fill, gravel, and stone • collecting and mulching 20 yards of leaves each year • repairing and rebuilding leaks, plumbing, and rock settings on my water feature • building two dry-stack stone retaining walls • adding a 40 foot rock garden and a 15 foot decorative berm to the yard • digging about 400 holes for large plants • installing simple drip irrigation • spreading 100 yards of mulch • burring drain pipe • hauling off yard waste • general yard and patio clean-up, maintenance, and repair I am completely pleased with their performance on all these projects. I recommend them to everyone looking for yard “hard-scaping” because they are: • trustworthy, honest, and frank • reasonably priced • hard working and need no supervision • good listeners and willing to do your project the way you want it done • Tyce is always on site to resolve any issues • clean-up at the end of the project without having to be nagged"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Homeowners are usually not responsible for trees that fall on power lines. Power companies usually have utility easements around power lines, which give them the responsibility to maintain any trees within about 15 to 20 feet of the lines.

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

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.
