"This is a phenomenal tree service and Arborist. They do fabulous field work. Andy has been taking care of my trees for years. I also have fruit trees that he has helped me with. I cannot say enough good things about the work they do. The crew is hard working and extremely professional. I rely solely on Strobert's Tree Service to care for my trees. Andy is spot on when it comes to pricing. The very first time he was out for an estimate he noticed a strangulating root which was killing one of my trees. He went to his truck for some tools and took care of that root instantly - at no charge - and saved my tree that I did not even know was in trouble. Also, we had an ice storm recently and Andy was able to save my favorite 60' Pine tree. Branches were freezing and dropping to the ground. They did a procedure called "re-balancing" and actually weighted the tree in specific areas until it could take hold - and it is surviving as well. His pricing is spot on as well. I strongly recommend Strobert Tree Services as this is a true professional."

"Called back and came to see job on the same day. Sent an estimate. I told them I needed a week to get the money together. He called the following Friday and put me on the schedule for Monday. Showed up and took down two large dead trees and hauled all away . Did a great job cleaning up. He even raked the ruts the equipment made. He even took down a small dead tree as a bonus . Thanks Dave and Delmarva land and tree great job!!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I first used Over the Top Tree Care back in 2018 when they removed 10 large Leyland Cypresses from our property. The crew was professional, efficient, and left everything spotless. It was a big job, and they handled it seamlessly. Fast forward to 2026 after the blizzard they showed up quickly! This time not helping myself, but overall 10 home owners in my neighborhood with storm damage and tree removal. In a stressful situation, they were organized, responsive, and worked tirelessly to get everyone taken care of safely and quickly. Communication with Jason has been fantastic. He’s clear, honest, and always keeps you informed throughout the process, which makes all the difference during big projects and emergencies. I truly can’t recommend this team enough. If you need tree work done right, they’re the ones to call. 🌳💪"

Customers say: Quick response

"Mike and his crew at Blade Riders accomplish my annual lawn care and they have also done some drywall repairs and painting for me. They painted my kitchen, living room, master bedroom and the entire upstairs. I felt like I got excellent value for my money. I referred my father-in-law and two of his neighbors to Blade Riders and they too are very happy with them. Mike is great to work with, is extremely trustworthy and I would HIGHLY recommend Blade Riders!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease. 

Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.

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.

Yes, it’s possible to overwater a newly-planted tree. Daily watering is great for the first few weeks, but it’s important not to go overboard. Excessive watering can lead to various problems, including root rot, fungal diseases, and a lack of root development.
