"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."

"Julio and helper nice gentlemen, lawns mowed and trimmed perfectly, couldn't have asked for more, also easy to work with. I can no longer do my own yard work so getting a lawn service was a little overwhelming, but I hit the jackpot with JV lawn service. Thank you Julio and Helper!! Job well done! Dody Green Springdale"

"We have hired Wilmer and his crew on several occasions. They have always done a fine job, been friendly and responsive, and had great communication. Wilmer has done drywall work, painted our deck, yard cleanup and most recently has installed a large wooden perimeter fence as well as repaired 100s of yards of existing fence. Their prices were competitive and reasonable and more importantly Wilmer listed to our concerns, communicated potential problems and updated us on any options of the job. We were very impressed with their timely and efficient completion of a difficult fence through the trees lining our property. They also gave us years of life into our existing fence. Do not listen to a customer ranting because of one bad experience during a snowstorm. Anyone who tries to destroy someoneâ s business they have worked on for years cannot be stable. Wilmer is a gem. He hires his Father for smaller jobs who does excellent work. If we have had any problems they have corrected them for no charge. We plan on hiring him for many more jobs in the future."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. 

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

If a tree isn’t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.
