"Noah and crew were on time, super helpful at explaining what we should and shouldnâ t trim, left the yard clean, and where done when they said they would be. Our neighbors even appreciated their work and even hired them on site for another job! I will be using them again at another house and would highly recommend them."

"Colby’s Cactus Cowboys did a great job taking down 3 trees, trimming 2 trees, filling in a pond and placing and filling 2 large raised beds with soil. They worked efficiently and kept me informed on their progress. They were open to suggestions and provided knowledgeable advice. I would definitely hire them for any landscaping jobs in the future."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work done by Edge & Ivy! They completely transformed my yard and did it all for an amazing price that beat every other quote I received. The team was professional, efficient, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. They showed up on time, communicated every step of the process, and left everything looking spotless! My yard looks better than it ever has, and I’ve already gotten compliments from neighbors. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable outdoor work without breaking the bank!"

"Chris was the first to get back to me, came to estimate yard cleanup- which was a substantial amount of work - within a day. He was able to communicate well and gave me a plan and schedule that worked best for us. He matched the price I had been quoted for delivery and installation of tress, shrubs and boulders - so we hired him to do that, alsoâ ¦ in a much more timely manner. Chris aims to please and we were pleased with his work, professionalism snd integrity. Highly recommend."

He skillfully took down the trees, removed the stumps and all surface roots, and left the area spotless. The site looks fantastic, and we couldn't be happier with the service provided. We are beyond impressed and highly recommend their services!"

"Great work done in a timely and affordable manner. Appreciated that the arborist actually walked all the trees with me and explained why I shouldnâ t trim as aggressively for both the health of the tree and the look of the finished tree. They also offered additional landscaping that was a great price but mulch is crazy expensive and not in the budget this year."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is highly recommended to remove tree stumps. Leaving them in the ground can lead to several problems, as they are not only unsightly but can also reduce your property's value. Stumps can obstruct landscaping plans, make mowing difficult, and hinder new growth. More importantly, they are prime breeding grounds for pests like termites, ants, and mice, which can spread to your home and cause costly damage to its wood and foundation. Stumps also attract fungi and diseases that can infect other healthy trees and plants in your yard. As a stump decays, it might sprout new, unwanted shoots. While removing a stump is an investment, it prevents these potential issues and enhances the safety, health, and appearance of your landscape.

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

It’s possible, although a lot depends on the cause of damage and what steps you take. If the remaining parts of the maple tree are alive and not under attack by disease or pests, they can often be saved even if large portions of the maple tree have died. Frequent watering, careful pruning, mulch, and any recommended fungicides or insecticides can all help with survival.
