"I was impressed with Frank the minute he assessed the situation with the trees in my yard that needed to come down. His expertise in knowing the species of the trees as well as reasonable recommendations as to the best way to solve the problem I had, was excellent. The price he quoted me was very affordable. He and his father and brother arrived on time. They were professional, safe, and left the area neat and spotless. I strongly recommend them."

"I 100% recommend this company for all your tree work needs! Josh and his crew showed up bright and early on the day we had agreed on and did an absolutely awesome job in one day! Mind you our tree was enormous but they did everything with amazing skill and left everything completely clean afterwards. Very reasonable price too! We’re very pleased."

"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

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.
