"Mike and his crew are true professionals. I would hire again without any hesitation. They removed 50' of tall hedges and 5 evergreen trees. They completed the removal and cleanup in under 2.5 hours. They were very careful not to damage other vegetation or personal property of our house and our neighbors. And dug out 2 trees by hand because they wanted to make sure that no electrical or water lines were damaged. I wish all the pros we hire were as skilled and professional as this crew."

"Gilbert (the Project Manager) was responsible, reliable and on time. They brought all the necessary equipment to do the job (tree removal), they proceeded to do the job without any hiccups and finally cleaned up after the work was done. They were very professional and respectful. I highly recommend them and I will be using them for future projects."

"INCREDIBLE! This was the first time that my trees have be pruned and shaped correctly in over 40 years. I am so happy with the work. One tree was next to my pond; the crew put a large tarp over the pond so no debris fell into it, so I didn't have any pond clean up work to do. My yard was left in better shape than when the crew got here. I am planning on asking them to come back in the spring to get my winter garden in shape for the growing season."

"I had a landscaping design/build company until illness kept me from continuing. I felt like I was in good and knowledgeable hands when Rock came out for the estimate - he is an arborist so he understood exactly what I wanted. His crew showed up on time and were very professional with a very capable foreman who interpreted Rock's job description accurately, so the job was done perfectly and the place was clean afterwards."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If you don’t stake a tree that needs support, it could be at greater risk of being damaged or failing completely, whether it uproots or falls over. That could cause damage to your property or other surrounding trees. If you want to grow healthy trees, you may need to stake them for best results.

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall. 

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.

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.
