"Daniel and his team provided tree and clean-up services in the most efficient and timely fashion. They were on time, immediately attacked the tree issues, brought tools that saved time, executed perfectly, and did so in half the time of other services I have used. Daniel understands the importance of expert service and communications. He and his team, small by comparison, move quickly, bringing the right tools and skills, executed and cleaned up thoroughly. Daniel was an expert in communications from the first meeting to shaking hands at completion. If the reader is interested in a service provider that knows his business, provides the right services, and whose price point is tailored to the task, Daniel and his team would be my number one recommendation."

"I can't say enough about the amazing work done by Chuck at Dolan Painting and More. Chuck restored our weathered and peeling front gate and it now looks like brand new! He was professional throughout the project and when the color wasn't just right to his satisfaction, he worked several extra hours to get it just right to his and our satisfaction. He is an extremely hard worker and we look forward to working with Dolan Painting and More on several additional painting and handyman projects around our home. If you're looking for a company that is affordable, hard working, and professional, this is it. Thanks for our beautiful refinished gate!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Many consider the Fraser fir to be the most popular type of Christmas tree, but which type of tree sells out near you can depend on region and decorating trends that year. For example, the Leyland cypress is especially popular in the Southeast, according to the National Christmas Tree Association.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

Trees should be pruned every two to five years, depending on its age and type. Young trees should be inspected and pruned every two to three years. Mature trees should be inspected and trimmed every three to five years, and fruit trees should be pruned annually with a careful eye on seasonal growth. Evergreens typically don’t need pruning, unless branches or limbs are damaged, diseased, or harboring pests.

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.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.
