Customers say: Quality work

"Greg and crew were able to do my work on the same day that I spoke with him. They were amazing! Very kind and great to work with. I had 6 small stumps, they were done in 30 minutes, and did a great job with clean up and even used a blower to clean off my front porch. And the price was so reasonable. Iâ  ll absolutely be calling them again!"

"We had a large Maple tree in our front yard that was leaning over the house so we hired Oak Tree Service take it down. They cut down the tree and cleaned up the yard in just a few hours, and removed all the branches & trunk. We highly recommend Christopher Perez and his crew."

"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."

"The crew was on time, started work immediately and completed the job in about 6 hours… cut/remove 2 large plus 6 medium trees, grind all stumps, cut/remove all undergrowth, spread wood chips evenly throughout. Price was significantly lower than other bids I received. Whole process from initial bid request to project completion was 5 days. Quality of service and work were both excellent. Would definitely use again in the future."

"They showed up on the jobsite as agreed and did an excellent job cutting down 80-foot oak trees which were located next to a wooden fen Job site and were leaning toward the house. They also cut down 4 smaller trees and I requested they leave one for my woodpile. They cut up and stacked the wood neatly and the final clean-up was excellent. I will use Carias Landscaping for any future needs."

"I refer this company to anyone. Our time is valuable and these guys were on top of it. Very nice and professional owner and employees! Great work and these guys did not stop until the fence repair was completed. They cleaned up everything they used. I am using this company to replace my deck and build me a sunroom. Excellent price for the work they are doing. Canâ t wait to see the finished project! I know it will look great! I would definitely recommend Lance and his team!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.
