"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."

"Except for a rather long delay from the initial proposal until project start, the end result was totally satisfying (best pruning job in 20 years). If want your tree's pruned instead of cut like many pros do, this is your provider. Jesus supervises his people and works with them to complete the job. I would definitely recommend and hire this company again for my pruning needs."

"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

Professionals ensure safety, prevent property damage, and handle debris efficiently.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

No, you cannot throw branches from your neighbor’s tree back into their yard, nor can you discard leaves or other plant matter that originated from their yard back over there if it happens to land in your yard. You are responsible for cleaning up plant matter that made its way into your yard.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years.
