"Pedro Lucas did an excellent job removing 11 large trees from our property. He was on time when he came to estimate the job. His quote was reasonable. He performed the work and the cleanup, as we agreed, in a most timely manner. I do not hesitate to highly recommend him for any tree service work you may have."

"Forrest did not come in with the lowest bid but sometimes that little extra cost can give you peace of mind. The quality of the work and professionalism of this company was topnotch. I have a 120-year-old home and was concerned about windows and landscape being damaged. But they did a great job taking care of my home and were extremely knowledgeable arborists. I had some very high mature trees, and they were very skilled trimming these. They even went above and beyond to haul away some old branches and debris from the vacant driveway next door. Everyone there was polite and professional. I would definitely hire them again. My only issue - and it was a small one - was that I paid cash but had to wait a few days for the receipt."

"Luke was amazing. He gave us a quick quote that was reasonable. He started and worked when he said he would. He kept us updated and sent pictures afterward. The quality of his work was excellent. I was so pleased with his work. He went above and beyond by doing a couple extra things for us as we were out of state. I would and will recommend him to anyone looking for a professional quality painter!"

"Remodeled kitchen. The work he did was OK. I wanted a contract. Kept asking for one. He showed up with the contract the day I paid him. Kept having to call to see when he would show up to work again. He would tell me and sometimes he would not show up or call. Took them 2 1/2 months to finish. The appliances were on backorder. They were not in by the time he finished, except for a few things like cleaning paint splatter, and caulking. He said he would come back and install appliances and finish up. Appliances were delivered and two weeks later I was still calling to see when he would come back. He would not say. I was telling him on the phone that I would hire someone else and he hung up on me. I called and left a message telling him that this is business and if he has the courage to call back in the next two or so days, it is fine. Otherwise, I am hiring someone else. He never called me."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

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.

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.
