"I worked with Bill he was very professional and gave me a great price to cut down and remove three trees from the property. He was timely for his appointment and completed the task in less than 4 hours. he cleaned the area and used a blower to ensure the yard had no debris left. I would recommend him for any tree job and will use him again if i need a tree person. Great job by professional personnel. Thank you"

"The service was excellent. I hired LW to cut a large oak tree down overhanging my home. I only asked them to cut the tree down and chip the branches. They went above and beyond by doing that, and cutting most of the tree into firewood. They left the site clean and even managed to work around most of the landscaping that was already in place."

"LW Tree Service and Grading are great! I give them 10/10 stars;10 being the best! Lynn & William are wonderful people!!! William & Suzette completed the project in 3 days. They limbed up 4 trees close to the roof of the house & removed the very large maple tree in the backyard between two sheds. He went above & beyond!! He also removed an old swing set & a very heavy concrete culvert at no extra cost. He is also bringing us a load of fill dirt to cover the roots that had grown above the ground. We miss the shade from the large Maple but it was infected with carpenter ants, mushrooms, root rot, & a woodpecker so it had to go before it split & did major property damage. I would definitely hire them again!!! They were so nice I feel like I made 3 new friends which was the most unexpected part of the project. It is hard to find good people and hard to find good help BUT we found both with LW Tree Service and Grading. I highly recommend them; you won’t be disappointed, I promise!!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment. 

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.

Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.
