"Ayla Tree Service was phenomenal! We had an issue getting a tree service out after hurricane Helene for six months!! I looked on Google for tree services near me for our community and I found Ayla! They were there the next day to give me an estimate! They started the job that next week! They understood the assignment and kept you in the knowing. These trees were not just cut but pruned, they know what they’re doing and they do it so well, that you couldn’t even tell there was debris made of any kind! The cleanup was fantastic! About 80 people living in one community and not one had an issue! We are very thankful for Ayla Tree Service and you will be as well!"

"Working with Wesley was so great! He was easy to schedule with and showed up when he was supposed to. He couldn't be a nicer guy and he totally understood the vision I wanted. We had just had a pool installed and he was helping me finish the vision for the whole yard. His team was skilled, efficient, respectful and ultimately delivered an incredible yard. Will definitely be calling this team again in the future for any landscaping needs we have. Highly recommend!"

"I want to take a moment to share my experience with Ogeechee River Land Management, LLC. This is the second time I have used their services, and once again they did not disappoint. From the first conversation to the completion of the job, their team is always professional, friendly, and incredibly easy to work with. They truly have that family-style hospitality about them that makes you feel welcomed and appreciated as a customer. It’s rare to find a company that treats people the way they do. What also stands out is their integrity and responsiveness. If there are ever any questions or discrepancies, they address them immediately and make sure everything is taken care of the right way. That level of accountability and customer service is hard to come by these days. If you’re considering having work done around your property, just talk to them. You might be surprised at the variety of jobs they can handle and the quality of service they provide. Highly recommended."

"I've had so much trouble finding reliable, honest people to get things done so I admit I was skeptical. The job needed to be done, though, so I took a deep breath and came to Angi. I had two companies contact me and there was no follow through. Then Cory (The Grounds Guys) was in contact and responded to my texts almost immediately. In very short order, he came to my home and gave me advice and information on different options (I had asked for advice as I wasnt sure what I wanted). He gave me estimates and went over the process for each option. Once I let Cory know what I wanted, the work began. The work was in three stages for my yard and each one was started when he said it would be. I did have concerns at first and I talked to him about it. There was one very small spot that wasn't right and he was over to fix it right away. I feel confident that I can contact him if there's a problem I'm having or need advice. Very professional and personable. Really nice guy... fantastic work. You won't be sorry you hired The Grounds Guys! Thanks, Cory!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.
