"We contacted Osmin at Escarate's Tree Service. He came out and we walked around with him and told him all the things that we wanted done. He surveyed everything and gave us a quote, which we accepted. They came on time - early, actually. They did remarkable work. We could not be more pleased. We wanted several trees trimmed/thinned out. They are arborists, not tree choppers. After they finished, one of the men took me around to see what all had been done. Everything looks great. They left everything looking better than it did before they came. We are very satisfied, and would hire again."

"Excellent experience. I had to have two huge eucalyptus removed. Gilbert's bid was fair and that he's thoroughly insured was most reassuring. But what sealed the deal was not feeling I had to hire an arborist diagnose the problem because Gilbert is so knowledge. He not only told me the reason the trees had to be removed but was able to show me the proof. The crew was efficient, hard working and impressive. I also felt I was working with a very honest person. Happy to recommend Gilbert's Green Essence."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. 

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.
