"Busy Bee Tree and Stump Care removed a large pine tree in front of our house. They had a very professional and respectful crew. They did their job proficiently and thoroughly. I would definitely hire them again for future work we will be doing at our house."

Our yard is completely transformed, and they did exactly what we asked. We would recommend Edge and Ivory to anyone looking for landscaping services and look forward to future projects with them."

"We had no idea what we wanted to do with our backyard. All we knew was that we wanted it to be low maintenance and look better than what it was. We met and discussed option I didn't want sod and not just rocks out back, so after taking a couple of days to decide, we went with Chris and Tree of Life Lanscaping. Chris was the foreman overseeing multiple jobs and was the main contact person. He was quick to return my calls and texts during the project. We made several changes during the project, and Chris and his crew were flexible and handled the changes without any issues. Chris and his crew delivered as promised"

"I don’t normally do reviews, either good or bad, but I feel compelled to do a review for Jason and Amy. The reason is that they did such a great job in the repainting of our trim in our 27 year old home. They were meticulous during the job, not only in the painting, but also in preparing and protecting our home. You would never regret having this couple do any painting for you."

"Ben arrived on time and went right to work. He was very polite and did a great job removing 4 Juniper Shrubs and trimming 2 Blue Spruce Trees up 6 feet. He also removed a small Pine Tree and hauled everything away. We would highly recommend Ben."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Removing tree stumps is a dangerous and complex job that requires a high level of expertise. Many landscapers specialize in general lawn care and maintenance. But, some may have the proper licensing and qualifications needed to safely remove tree stumps. In most cases, though, landscapers will refer you to a local tree removal or stump grinding company.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines. 

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.
