"The young guy who did the work was prompt and professional, but not well trained. He power washed my patio BEFORE blowing the leaves and sticks off my roof, so all the debris landed on my just cleaned patio, and he didn't follow up to clean it off.
He forgot to do the garage door and was all packed up when he asked me to inspect, so I just let it ride.

"I had about 5 acres to get cleared out from over growth, I called Freedom Forest Management and a gentleman named Levi was out at my property two day later to give me a quote, the quote they gave me was a little pricey compared to others but they were able to get to it in a couple of days compared to others that were 3-4 weeks out. They did a bang up job cleaned the area up really good even trimmed up a tree I had since he said needed it to help with growth. I definitely got the quality of work I paid for and then some."

"Pedro phoned immediately after I inquired about my tree removal. When he came to give me a bid, he was right on time! (Two of the others I made appointments with didn't even bother to show up OR call). Both my neighbor and I needed our trees removed. He gave us a VERY REASONABLE bid and said he could do it 2 days later. We said we'd like to get other bids... he was the first one. Well, after getting all the bids we could, we decided on Mountain Tree Care. I phoned Pedro in the evening and told him of our decision. He said they'd be over at 7:30 am the next morning!!! He came with all the equipment necessary to do the job... 3 exceptionally skilled crew members, a chipper, a stump grinder, and a huge truck to haul away the debris. The next morning Pedro arrived at 7:05 am! A few minutes later, the rest of the crew arrived. They started right away. Safety and conscientiousness were high on their list. They removed one tree in my yard and another in my neighbor's. Each limb was roped before dropping it to the ground insuring that our properties were not damaged. And there was a fence between they had to work around as well. No damage whatsoever. They worked non-stop all day! The trees were removed and the stumps ground away. What we figured would take 2-3 days took them one day! The clean-up was exceptional! The next morning I went out to get the mail, and even the street where the chipper and truck were sitting were spotless. Did they sweep the street too??? Bottom line: WE RECOMMEND THEM HIGHLY! They are available, they are safe, they are conscientious, they are hard workers and they are FAIR and REASONABLE!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

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.

Poison oak is similar to poison ivy in that it's in the same family of plants. Poison oak is identifiable by its rounded-off leaves and hairy leaf texture. Tree-climbing varieties live primarily in western states while low-growing poison oak bushes occupy the eastern states. Treat poison oak like poison ivy to get rid of it permanently.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.
