"I was very impressed with the service offered. Jaime was prompt to provide a quote that was very reasonable and go started on the job immediately. The entire crew was very professional and the trimming was performed exactly as requested. After finishing they cleaned the area very nicely. I will definitely use again and refer them to anyone that asks."

Small jobs welcome

"We couldn’t be happier with the way our cement, grass, and rock came out. We love our low maintenance yard. The Lanter Landscapes team was amazing to work with. They showed up on time, listened to our ideas, offered opinions and suggestions, worked within our budget, and were friendly and professional. Jesse gave us a time frame and broke the steps down so we knew when everything was going to be completed and would give us updates throughout the process. Edward shared his knowledge about our specific grass type, offered suggestions on specific fertilizers, made sure we approved items before moving to the next steps, and explained everything we needed to know step by step. Thank you again Lanter Landscapes! I can’t wait to recommend your work to others. Keep up the amazing work!!!"

Now, our bathroom feels like a spa every time we step in. I appreciate the quality and attention to detail. These folks definitely know what they?re doing!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.

A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

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.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.
