"The owner was exceptionally professional and personable. I knew that I would be satisfied with his work. I did not hire him because a local arborist Whom I had had before gave me a lower price estimate."

"We had 3 trees cut down and all brush and tree wood removed. They were excellent in their service and right on time and left the yard spotless. No need to look for any other tree company. These guys were friendly and professional. I would use them again. Their prices were excellent."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work from BMG Stump Grinding! From the first time I reached out, they were friendly, professional, and easy to work with. They did a great job removing the stump and cleaned everything up so well afterward that you could hardly tell it was ever there. It’s always nice to find a company that takes pride in their work and treats you like a person, not just another job. I really appreciate how smoothly everything went and would absolutely recommend BMG Stump Grinding to anyone who needs a stump removed. Great service and great people!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.

You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.
