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."

"Contacted Art and Chris to remove the debris from a garden Iâ d taken out. They came out immediately and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. They were back in an hour and did all the work. Everything was cleaned up and finished quickly. I asked them about a few other landscaping projects and was very pleased with how knowledgeable and helpful they were. I will definitely be using them for all my landscaping projects. If you want great work and service at a reasonable price donâ t think twice just call them!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

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.
