Customers say: True professional

"Rough Terrain Landscapes did a great job with my barren landscape. We needed privacy from a neighbors home, while bringing in greenery to our lot, and also trim down some burned trees. Jesse sent a detailed proposal for the tree planting layouts and varieties suited for the weather before starting on the project. Would definitely recommend and hire again for other landscaping needs."

"Rob and Dave at Elite are extremely professional and knowledgeable. We had 3 foot weeds growing in the roof gutters in front of our house. They set up a date and time, and showed up when they said they would be here. Cleaned all our gutters, including 2nd story, without damaging the roof. Our old gutter guards had worn out and they recommended replacement with stainless steel, fine mesh, lifetime warranteed guards. Again, they showed up on time and completed the job. They were very professional, and careful with my steep roof as not to damage it. I highly recommend their services."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If the roots are still alive, the dead tree will usually try to put out new shoots. That doesn’t mean the tree will survive or that the dead parts of a tree will come back to life. If parts of the tree have died and turned gray or rotten, nothing will bring them back to life and they need to be safely removed.

If an arborist is certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the highest level of certification available is ISA Board Certified Master Arborist. According to the ISA, this credential is reserved for arborists “who have reached the pinnacle of their profession.” Check your arborist’s credentials before hiring to confirm their level of training and expertise.

If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.

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.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000 per tree, depending on size, location, and accessibility.
