"The Thorntonâ s were very professional. They called first to let me know they were on the way to evaluate the work. They gave me two options on just the work and then an option on stump grinding and clean up. The Thorntonâ s were very knowledgeable on their craftsmanship and reasonably on their prices. Very Nice customer service! I would recommend them to anyone who would need their services of tree cutting, stump grinding,and clearing a field!ð"

"Darnel has a father and son team. He provided good customer communication throughout the process. He was on time and did a great job removing tree debris. Darnel and his son worked 2 hours straight and charged a fair price. I definitely would hire again."

"My husband and I choose K&B Lawn and Landscaping after reading the great customer reviews. The fact that this is a Veteran, Woman owned company, was a plus! We requested a quote, K&B returned our call within an hour. Byron was able to come by the same day. We discussed what we wanted (2 baby trees transplanted, bushes relocated, mulch, weed barrier fabric, and plants in front) and our budget. There was great rapport with Bryon. We felt comfortable asking questions and bouncing around ideas. On the big day, the K&B team (Byron, David, Derrian, and Justin) texted us when they were on the way. The team was on time, professional, and friendly. They communicated throughout the process. They also educated us on how to maintain our new landscaping and trees. The K&B team love what they do and they exceed expectations! I mentioned we had a problem with feral cats defecating in our yard, so they brought beautiful plants that also deter cats. Their consideration and great work ethic doesn’t stop there! We had an area BEHIND our fence that was overgrown with weeds that we didn’t ask nor expect them to clean up, but they did anyway! They also cleaned once they finished the job, including my driveway. Talk about great customer service and professionalism! Its rare to encounter a company that cares about their work and their customers. Hiring K&B was a great decision. They are talented, professional, and friendly. Neighbors have stopped by to comment on how beautiful our landscaping is. We cannot express how much we love our yard now. We will definitely hire K&B for all our lawn and landscaping needs. I’ve already referred them to family. Thank you K&B Lawn and Landscaping!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.

Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren’t qualified to handle those types of tasks.
