"Instead of cutting TO 12', the trees were 12' from the top. They are still over 40' tall. I was clear in communication what I agreed to, and thought omitting the word "to" was a typo. We were negotiating again after one tree was "finished". And while they chipped branches and leaves and left them where I asked, they also took a whole truckload of wood that I wanted chipped as well. The rest of the work was excellent and they were very efficient. In hindsight I should have stuck with the person I originally had lined up."

"Other than the obvious aesthetics you really don’t appreciate a tree trimming job until the wind blows. We’ve some large oaks that Bunyon Bros. have been maintaining over the years, and when the wind blows it’s a trip watching that kind of tonnage moving around. Yet, no matter how hard the gusts there’s no sense that a limb’s going to let loose. Year after year. Dead wood’s cleared, weight’s taken off the limbs, and unsupported higher limbs are removed. Binyon Bros. come back every few years and bring it all back to safe. I can’t recommend there services enough."

"Dock, Dock took the time to come out to evaluate with me the problems I was having with my lawns. I discussed with him what I liked yo have done with my problem lawns and he give some of his expertise suggestions to also add to the project. Dock did a very professional job and has a down to earth personality. My lawns are finally starting to look healthy because of all his attention to detail with starting the project, adding the products as was discussed, and all his diligence in following each phase of my lawn procedure. I know I can depend on him for any future lawn or landscaping work I need to have done."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree. 

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they’re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.
