"Rodolfo arrived right on time with his experienced crew. They removed a large tree in my front yard cleaned up and we're done in one hour. The bid was fair and I was highly impressed with their workmanship. I will definitely use Rodolfo again. He was pleasant to work with."

"We’ve been having Brandywine Tree & Shrub do our tree maintenance for years & they’ve always done excellent work & clean up the area when finished. Have equipment available that others don’t have to do the job right even with HUGE trees. Came out for initial estimate and were here in about 2 weeks to complete the job.Usually we only have tree maintenance done but they also removed debris hanging off edges of our gutter helmets & also removed branches & other tree debris from our roof (2-story home). Cut down 2 trees completely,cleaned up and reduced canopy of three other trees (one HUGE) as well. Removed all debris. HIGHLY recommend-some arborists will butcher your trees-Brandywine Tree & Shrub won’t - they are well trained, courteous, and always do a superb job."

"Luis and his crew were punctual, very focused on doing the job correctly and to my satisfaction, reasonably priced and worked very skillfully. I've see other tree experts, but none that performed even close to LA'S. If I could give them a 10 rating, they would get a 10+."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

How often and long you should water a tree depends on the species and if it is mature or newly planted. The amount of water is also based on the tree's size. A good rule of thumb is approximately 5 gallons per inch of the trunk's diameter.

Adjusting watering to the recommended suggestions for the tree type and weather conditions is vital. For instance, watering trees during a drought is necessary, and you may need to water more frequently than usual.

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task.
