"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 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"

"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

On grafted trees, tree suckers will grow from the root stock, not the branches grafted onto it. Therefore, the leaves and characteristics of the suckers aren’t the same as the tree because they are different varieties. Root stock has more hardiness, strength, or drought tolerance than its grafted limbs, so if the suckers are from fruit or flowers, it might be different than the main part of your tree.

Using vinegar to kill tree roots is just one of the clever ways to use vinegar around the house. The method works best when you apply vinegar as directly to the root system as possible. For example, if the old tree roots and stump are currently exposed, drill holes in the tops of the roots and pour undiluted white vinegar into the holes to soak into the plant. Remember that vinegar can kill the surrounding grass and plants should it pour over the edge.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.
