"A.C. Services did great work on poison ivy removal in my yard. They came out and did a walk around where they identified all the poison ivy and even pointed out what was in my neighbors' yards as well. Then the scheduled service a few days later, and they were in and out in a few hours at a reasonable price. No hassle. no issues. Just good work. Will definitely hire them again for similar projects."

"I will be using All About Landcaping again for additional projects. Benny was extremely responsive with all communication, was extremely reasonable with pricing and did excellent work! We had Benny and his team trim and reshape 3 sets of 20 foot arborvites which was a challenging task to start, but they worked this project with ease. One set of the arborvites is located alongside our inground pool and they were very professional with the process so they made cleanup look effortless. The pool was clear of any debris and for this I was most appreciative! If I was able to share before / after I sure would as the results were fantastic. We will be making contacting with All About Lanscaping for power washing / painting our house next. Highly recommend!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.

It can take anywhere from one month to a couple of years for tree roots to grow back in sewer lines. Tree roots can cause extreme havoc on your sewer lines, potentially cracking them and causing untreated wastewater to make its way into the groundwater. Have a landscaping pro remove trees and roots before installing your system, or call a pro to do it retroactively as soon as you can.

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

When a palm tree no longer produces new fronds and old fronds start turning yellow-brown, that’s a sign the tree is dying. However, transplanted palm trees can show these signs for the first several months as they re-establish themselves. It’s best to keep watering and not give up on the palm tree until a couple of seasons have passed and you’re sure it’s not coming back to life.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.
