"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!"

"We have used Ross and his team for a number of projects, from sprinkler repair, general landscape work around our property, minor landscape projects (rock, trees, and sprinkler), to a full landscape job with fencing, rock, flagstone, trees, shrubs, sprinkler, and water feature. His professionalism in the design phase, working with the HOA for approval, installation, and follow-up were outstanding. The quality of work is excellent, he and his crew are prompt and professional, and he provided incredible value. We give our unqualified recommendation to Ross. We have referred him to friends and relatives and he has worked on at least five additional projects from our referrals with great feedback and results."

He is highly skilled and he is committed to delivering a five star result!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If the roots are still alive, the dead tree will usually try to put out new shoots. That doesn’t mean the tree will survive or that the dead parts of a tree will come back to life. If parts of the tree have died and turned gray or rotten, nothing will bring them back to life and they need to be safely removed.

Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes.

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.
