"I am beyond happy with my experience with Crowder Tree Specialist. I have a very large Oak tree in my front yard that desperately needed trimming. They came to give me a quote on trimming the tree and also gave me a lot of information about tree care and what was needed to help my tree and make it flourish, They completed trimming my tree in 3-4 hours and it was absolutely beautiful. They also trimmed trees around my Oak tree to make it easier for my tree to get oxygen and light needed to grow properly. The team was great. They were quick and very professional, cleaned up the area of all debris from the trimming of the trees. They also helped me with overgrown trees in my backyard that were hanging over my fences and did a great clean-up job there as well. If I have any future needs they will be the first company I will call. I am a very happy client and I very highly recommend them."

"They are absolutely hardworking, meticulous and exceeded our expectations. It was amazing to see them work as a team & climb the trees with rope & spiked boots. Connecting the rope to each limb they cut & the crew below prepared for the pulling, cutting and removing. They removed our two huge dead/rotted oak trees, stump grinding, trimmed branches of two cedar trees that were burned and ready to break off & hauled away everything. On top of that they cleaned EVERYTHING up, swept our deck and used their blower to clean any remains in my neighbors driveway. **They by far exceed in their work & prices compared to other local businesses who were wanting to charge $9,000 per tree because of the â machinery & cranesâ they said would be neededâ ¦ This is the ONLY business we will use going forward! I wholeheartedly & highly recommend them!! ð ¯ð ¯"

"This Landscape company did an excellent job in repairing the front yard Camp Fire destruction in my replacement home. They were kind, courteous, and caring in taking care of what I needed. Some portions of the job craftsmen like work and they did it to a ten. The yard was immaculate when they left. I am so pleased every time I look out front. Just can't say enough about their great work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Using Epsom salt to kill a tree stump typically takes between six and 12 months. While this may seem like a long time, it is significantly faster than the natural decomposition process, which can take up to seven years. This method is a viable DIY option for stumps that do not pose an immediate hazard. If you need a faster solution, you can hire a professional for stump removal or grinding, though this may cause more damage to the surrounding ground.

The average tree pruning should take one hour with the right equipment. Light pruning of a small tree may only take around 15 to 20 minutes. Pruning multiple large trees in your yard will probably take several hours, including cleanup. However, tree pruning pros can do this job much faster, so you can rely on pros if you’re short on time.

Yes, carefully prune back dead branches—don’t wait for pruning season. This helps keep your maple tree healthy and also helps prevent large branches from falling unexpectedly. Don’t seal the cut branch—trees can naturally take care of these wounds—but be sure to remove any source of fungus or pest infestation to help save the tree.

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.

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.
