"I needed invasive vines and poison ivy removed from areas around my property.Matt went over the whole job with me and explained the way he would do it and assured me about the safety of his method. He even noticed something that needed to be be treated on a magnolia in my yard. He arrived the next day and did the job quickly and thoroughly. Hi price was more than fair. The fact that he was a licensed arborist and had other certifications was doubly ressuring."

"Louis and Julio were excellent. They carefully fell about 10 trees on my property and placed the logs exactly where I requested and sized them carefully. They were able to take down a dead tree and leave the one below it without damaging it, something I was very concerned about. They hauled away a lot of punky wood in their beautiful new Mack truck. Before the project began, we walked the property and they marked the trees and rotted wood with red tape which made it clear exactly what I needed done. I will definitely use them again!"

"Melvin and his crew were courteous and skillful. They took down the tree, cut for firewood, and removed the excess leaves and branches. They thoroughly cleaned the area. They were very easy to get along with. I would highly recommend them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations. 

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

Pruning can impact cold hardiness—but it’s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don’t want to prune trees when there’s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it’s pruned.
