"They did great job in 2 days it was a huge old tree. They could not remove the stump because they did not have stump grinder. They were very nice and easy to work with. Fantastic value cleaned up cand removed all the tree and brush. I will hold onto their card we may call them back in the fall for another tree. I would recommend to my friends and family"

"I put in a request to Angi that I needed my large maple tree looked at to see if it needed being cut down because I had been fighting carpenter ants all spring. I was given a list of contractors who would do a quote and Jonathon from CleanScape Solutions contacted me right away and drove from Ames to Des Moines to give me a quote. I thought it was a little high but needed it cut down. He said they could come the next day which was Sunday, August 18. He asked for cash and I didn t want to do cash but I told him I had Zelle. His sister uses Zelle so he asked if I could send her $200 to see if it would go through which it did. So then they came on Sunday but not at the time they said. I had to leave and got back around 3 pm and they had the tree pretty much cut down. He said he had to rent a chipper to grind the stump down and they were closed on Sundays so he said they would be back the next day which they did and worked several hours. After several hours he said they were done but they left a big pile of chopped pieces of wood and he said that it would settle and be okay. He then had me make a Zelle payment to his sister for $2,800 and left. I had a contractor out the next day to do some work for me and he was not happy with the way they left my yard he got one of his men to work on clearing all the debris because he was afraid there would be carpenter ants in that pile and it needed to be removed. It took them an hour to clean up the mess I got charged $350 to have it hauled away and that was when they found part of the stump and roots still there. I contacted Jonathon three times about it and my contractor called him several times and no answer. I just want him to finish the job of getting the stump out of my yard because I can t plant another tree there for years until it decays. The contractor s guy tried to work at it but gave up. Anyway, I am out $350 for what should have been done by Jonathon s company. I do not feel I should have to pay him more for finishing the job because I have already spent $3,350. He did not have me sign anything. He just texted the quote to me and I agreed by text to have the work done. Then he added 200 to the $2,800 quote for hauling more wood than they anticipated. The thing that bothered me when I saw the tree chunks lying on the ground I didn t see any damage to the trunk of the tree by carpenter ants so I don t even know if it was necessary to have cut it down and voice my concern to him that it looked like it was a good sturdy tree. He said that there were signs of holes in the upper branches that looked like the ants were working their way from the top down. That could be but I had wondered later if I should have had an arborist come out first and maybe would have been able to save it. Jonathon never mentioned that. He just seemed eager to get the business."

"These guys couldn't possibly have done better. When I couldn't get other arborists to even return my messages, Bojan called immediately upon being notifed by HomeAdvisor. He came over the same day to look at the job and took care of it less than a week later. Bojan knows so much about trees. Not just about trimming and removal, but about growth, and seasons to trim (or not), and how to keep trees healthy. Fantastic crew (they even RAN around picking up branches). All were very polite, courteous, and efficient. I already have more work lined up for them. Don't let 'em get away."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.

The recovery time for pruning depends on how much you prune, the species of tree, and how well you care for it afterward. All trees grow new wood and often sprout additional branches after pruning. Ideally, trees should recover from normal pruning after one or two years. Heavy pruning or slow-growing trees may take several years to fully recover.

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip.

No. Most of the time, suckers are only a sign that the tree is experiencing stress. However, they can also be the canary in the coal mine, letting you know that something else is stressing your tree. If you have lots of suckers on your tree, calling in an arborist or a tree care expert is always a good call to determine the cause and develop a solution that de-stresses your tree.
