"We had an outstanding experience with this tree service company. The team was incredibly professional from start to finish—they showed up exactly on time, worked efficiently, and treated our property with great care. They were friendly and easy to talk to, taking the time to explain what they were doing and making sure everything looked perfect before they left. The cleanup after the job was spotless, and the pricing was very fair. Highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable and top-quality tree work!"

"Ron and his assistant arrived on time to do some fall cleanup landscaping at my house. What would have taken me three days to do, plus hauling away the debris, took them under two hours. It was the very best money I ever spent - more so because I got to meet such lovely people, but also because they helped me a great deal. I will be calling them in the spring for a clean up and masonry work."

"They are incredible! Julio is a perfectionist, him and his team are second to none! Besides all of them being completely professional and real gentleman's! They do my lawn, my gardens and mulching, tree work, trimming hedges, and beautiful masonry. I will never not use them unless I want to do something, but once you get spoiled using them you stop doing work yourself! Great company!"

"Joel and his team did an excellent job on our spring cleanup and mulching. They were very hard working and paid great attention to detail. Everything turned out better than expected. They have also began to mow our lawn weekly and have been great. The pricing is very reasonable and I highly recommend to anyone in the area."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.
