"This crew was amazing. I asked for a quote and John came to my house that day to ask me what I was looking for and provided a quote. He scheduled me that day, and showed up with a crew that worked quickly and effectively. They finished cleaning up my flower beds, adding new mulch, mowing the lawn, trimming some very overgrown hedges, removed a tree stump, and cleaned up leaves/acorns in one day. I was blown away by how nice my yard looked after they were done, and I will definitely be calling them again with any other landscaping/lawn care needs."

"Very timely response. Completed the work quickly and cleaned up everything. My only disappointment, and it was a minor one, was he did not have a small stump grinder. Only a big one. But it would have been hard to get even a small grinder to where the stump is."

"It went really well. Great group of people. Very concerned about not destroying anything. Doing what they could on getting trees out. We really like them. Our insurance check took forever for them to get to the mortgage and get the money. It was about $1400. It took about 6-8 weeks for them to get paid. They were really patient about it which was I very appreciate it. We finally had them paid when we finally got the check."

Charles climbed way way up in the air and painstakingly cut and lowered the entire tree piece by piece then cleaned and raked and blew my yard everyday. Very kind and respectful.

"Very respectful and pleasant to work with. Had overgrown bushes and shrubs trimmed. Very fast work in hot weather. Cleanup could be better. I'll be picking out the clippings from the bushes and raking for a while. Was unable to trim all of the top of a very large bush that the pole trimmer or saw couldn't reach. Over all I'm pleased with the work and would hire again."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to identify wood and determine which types of trees are in your yard. 

Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

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.

Deciduous shade trees (the type of trees whose leaves fall off in autumn) need to be pruned in late winter—between February and March. That’s because it’s easier to find and remove sick or dead branches when no leaves are present. And wounds close and heal faster in colder temperatures so pruning them at this time also makes them less prone to infection.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.
