"Very professional company. The did much more than what I expected them to do. Very good pricing. Adam and Mike are very good people and their workers were very polite and helpful. My wife was very impressed with their service. I recommended them to a neighbor and she had them do some tree removals for her. She was also very satisfied. Mike is an Arborist so he identified problem trees that most other people would have missed. I normally cut down my trees and many neighbors have been my customers. So I know what they did was top notch quality, at a GOOD price. I highly recommend this company."

"Shaun from Treework was great. He gave me a reasonable estimate and completed the work within 3 days of start. He took down 2 large trees and trimmed back a large bush on the side of house. They also cleared a large area behind my house that gotten severely overgrown because of neglect on my part. I will definitely use Treework again for and future projects. Thanks"

"Fantastic job! I would definitely recommend Grind South. Robbie, the owner was prompt, communicated exactly how he would be doing the work and his price was great! He cleaned up and even used a shield around each stump as he removing it (I have never seen that be used in my past stump removal jobs). You will be very pleased with his work. I will definitely recommend Grind South to family and friends and I now know who Iâ m calling if I need any more stumps removed!"

"Parker and his crew are careful and skilled arborists, able to work in well established gardens with a minimum of disturbance. They removed a large tree beside my house and limbed up pecan, birch and oak while doing no damage to Japanese maples and perennials planted beneath. They also saved an old pecan by gently removing a strangling overgrowth of ivy from it. The end results were almost magical, more sunlight and airflow and better balance and form. Transformative in the best way."

"I hired the company in order to have 5 acres cleared and graded. I trusted it because few years ago I hired them for a mulching , demolition and excavation projects. The work is always performed flawlessly, they start and complete the work without interruption. That is a very important factor for us. The initial estimate I was given was what the total price at the closing of the project. This is what I respect greatly. Hire them with confidence."

"Rivera Landscaping did an outstanding job in building my retaining wall and patio area under my deck. He was very professional throughout the project and was more than willing to answer any questions my wife and I had while they were working. The reason why I can't give them a 5-Star rating is because I felt their cleaniness of the work area was not up to my standard. On the day they brought dirt in, it was placed in front on my house. They transport the dirt to the backyard and at the end of the day, I had a big dirt stain in the street in which I told them needed to be cleaned prior to them leaving. Bottom line the family and I cleaned it."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Since overwatering can harm mature trees just as much as a lack of water, it’s important to know the signs of an overwatered tree. If your tree’s leaves are yellowing, wilting, or dropping leaves, it’s likely that you’re overwatering. Other common signs include rotting, fungi, soggy soil, soft or peeling bark, falling leaves, and brittle roots. 

If you realize that you’ve been overwatering your mature tree, stop watering and give the soil time to dry out. Then moving forward, increase time between watering sessions. 

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.

On average, tree removal costs around $750, with a typical range between $200 and $2,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the tree's height, trunk diameter, species, and overall health. Accessibility is also a key factor; costs will be higher if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or located near structures like power lines or your home. Additional costs may apply for services such as stump removal (which can add $100 to $150), log-splitting, debris cleanup, and obtaining necessary permits. It is also customary to tip the professional, usually between $20 and $100.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.
