"Edge and Ivory responded to my request quickly and next day came to our home for a free assessment. They quoted us fairly, and we were on the schedule within the week. They did an amazing job! 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"

"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

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

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.

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.

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.
