"I first hired Roper Tree Surgeon & Landscaping in June 2014 to do a major tree cutting on some huge ficus trees.  This project required a truck with a boom, another truck with a large wood-chipper, and an experienced crew capable of cutting big trees so close to my house.  Roper surpassed my expectations in every way, and I was thrilled with the outcome.
When Mr. Roper and I discussed additional projects, I was really impressed with his knowledge, and willingness to help me with free advice and without any sales pitch.   So I hired the company again in July for a large landscaping project, which included:  A new automatic sprinkler system, replacing the front lawn and parkway grass with sod, replacing old shrubs with planting of new flowers, trees, and shrubs, and root pruning ficus trees and replacing the sidewalk destroyed by the roots.
Roper Tree finished the project on time and on budget.  I couldn't be happier with the results!  Mr. Roper takes genuine pride in his work, does not look for shortcuts, and does what he promises to do.   He is driven by customer satisfaction.  I look forward to working with Mr. Roper again, and recommend him wholeheartedly!"

"They are fast and efficient. I intend them to hire them for other projects like staining an outdoor wood patio in the future as well. He has also trimmed trees for me as well. I live on a hillside and this year they cleared the hillside for me. This included removing old rail road ties left by the previous owner."

"Put in the request with Home Advisor on Saturday night, in about 5 minutes I received a call from Rigo from 3-D Tree services. They came out to give me a quote 15 minutes later. I was happy with the quote so I hired them. The quote was to trim two large (About 40 feet tall) trees and remove another large tree. They showed up Sunday morning at 8:00 exactly on time, and were amazing. Roger (Son of Rigo) was great. Walked us through the process made sure there was a clear understanding of what they were going to do and they went to it. They ended up bringing a cherry picker, wood chipper, and stump grinder. All of the workers were great. They ended up leaving our place cleaner then it was when they got there. We could not be happier. 17 hours after I put in the request to Home Advisor our tree issues were completely solved. I would definitely hire them again.... Chris"

"I so appreciated the honest professionalism of Maya. I will hire him in March to trim my oak tree. He explained that oaks can become diseased when trimmed at a time other than March to August. Even though he could have had the job now, he was most interested in keeping my tree safe. Less"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

To maintain trees on a commercial property, perform regular pruning, monitor for diseases, and apply fertilization to promote healthy growth. It is also important to remove any hazardous branches to keep the trees healthy and prevent potential liability issues.

Signs include dead branches, growth over structures, diseases, pests, or roots impacting hardscapes.

Usually, trees cannot grow back after their stump has been ground, but some very hearty types of trees can. For example, if you have a black locust or Redford pear, the grinding will need to go deep to prevent them from growing back. Ask your tree service or stump removal expert whether your tree can resprout after its stump is ground down.
