"We recently hired DC tree service to remove several trees, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The crew and owner Daelon was professional, courteous, and arrived exactly on time as promised. Communication throughout the entire process was clear and responsive, which made everything easy and stress-free. What impressed us most was the cleanup after the job was completed. Not only was our yard left in great condition, but it actually looked cleaner and more organized than before they arrived. Every bit of debris, leaves, and branches was completely cleared away. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and hardworking tree service, I would highly recommend them."

"HBLLC provided amazing service. Fairly priced, hard working, conscientious and above all caring, they were a delight to work with, and I would surely hire them again. - I had concerns about wildlife, they allayed my fears - Previous estimates said I would have to take down my fence, HB did not have to -I had concerns about my largest tree, they handled it expertly What I valued the most though, was their kindness and responsiveness to me as a person, not just as a customer. Great work. Thank you Hubbard Brothers & Co!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.
