"M&N Stump Grinding and Small Tree Services is now OUR tree service people. We switched tree services because we were tired of replacing sprinkler heads, turf and cleaning up after theycleaned up. M&N was unbelievably good. It was amazing to have a service with such professionalism along with the quality of work. They did an amazing job of cleaning up afterward. Like I said, they are now our go to for all our trees. So thankful we went with them. Shout out to M&N - your good, very good!"

"These guys were excellent. Daniel is very communicative and so helpful for the fencing process. We got our fence well under price compared to other companies and was installed within 1 week of signing the contract. Will be reaching out for more landscaping and recommending to anyone looking for similar work!"

"A. P. took down a very large and dangerous ash tree branch. It was obvious to the arborist, Angel, that the branch would snap back on the cutter if not done properly. He safely brought it to the ground. We are so pleased with A. P.â s prompt and professional service, we hired them to remove a tree stump in the front yard. Weâ re very confident A. P. will do an excellent job. Also, they will call utilitiesâ marking for us. This company knows itâ s business!"

"James is very knowledgeable about trees and how to properly trim and thin out large trees like I have on my property. He and his partner did a very nice job on my trees! They did a thorough clean up even though it was raining before they finished up. Very courteous and I will definitely recommend Arborist Prime to friends and family. Thumbs Up!!!"

"Prompt response and able to do the project the same day and cleaned up everything including old branches at the end of the project. Might have taken a bit more off the branches than I’d like, but I’m no arborist and they certainly removed all the dead/non-leaf branches at a great price."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Rob and his crew did excellent work on a large tree trimming job that included many large trees in a tight space. I am so impressed with their attention to detail, not only on the trees, but with regard to clean-up, and avoiding any damage to the tight area around the trees, which included a brand new fence. The whole crew was congenial and professional. I highly recommend K2!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.

There are a few differences between tree guying and tree staking. Tree guying requires anchor stakes that are shorter and stronger than regular stakes and are driven deeper into the ground at an angle away from the tree. Tree staking uses longer stakes that are set parallel to the tree and are used for smaller trees. Consult a local tree professional to determine which method is best for your tree.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season
