Customers say: True professional

"Braley and Finnegan have been doing my spring and fall clean up for a number of years and I am always impressed with their thoroughness and professionalism. The yard is consistently left immaculate. I have also used them for building a raised flower bed, power washing a fence, and weeding a stone driveway and have always been pleased with their work. They are willing to work with you on refining your vision and their suggestions inevitably improve the final product. Highly recommend this company if you are looking for a hard-working and talented company."

"Vinny is a very friendly and professional guy who we really enjoyed working with. The quality of his work is excellent- we used him for our sidewalk and refurbishing the rod iron railings. Overall positive experience with him and the final project turned out great! We would definitely recommend him and will be using his services again in future projects."

"I signed a contract with TurfMasters and they have been bought out by Tru Green. I now have weeds in the lawn and it is not the same service and product that I received in the past. I am really dismayed that this went on in the middle of the season. I like to be here when I get my lawn treated. I like speaking with someone at the actual company instead of talking to a call center rep. I like continuity! I definitely will not use them again in the future."

"Shoreline Pro mows our yard regularly and this year we added a spring cleanup/mulching. Our yard has never looked more beautiful, and I can't wait for the spring flowers to bloom against the mulch backdrop."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree. 

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Using vinegar to kill tree roots is just one of the clever ways to use vinegar around the house. The method works best when you apply vinegar as directly to the root system as possible. For example, if the old tree roots and stump are currently exposed, drill holes in the tops of the roots and pour undiluted white vinegar into the holes to soak into the plant. Remember that vinegar can kill the surrounding grass and plants should it pour over the edge.

Absolutely. These steps are significantly easier, too, especially when it comes to preserving the root ball and moving the palm tree. However, you will want to make sure the tree has plenty of fertilizer to establish itself and start growing. Supports may also be more important, as it can take extra time for a potted palm to spread out its roots. If you are transferring a palm to another pot, you’ll want to move up a size or two to a larger pot. Make sure the pot has excellent drainage to keep the palm from getting waterlogged.

While the trees in your backyard are good for the environment and look beautiful, they could present a danger to your home under the wrong circumstances. This task is typically beyond the capabilities of the average homeowner due to its dangerous nature, so it’s best to leave this task to a professional. In some cities, it’s even illegal to remove a tree yourself.
