"I reached out on a Sunday afternoon, got a phone call within 30 minutes, and came to my house 1 hr later to give me a price. We agreed, scheduled the job, took down 2 trees, several branches from other trees 4 days later. 3 days later got a phone call asking if we'd like them to come over then, the came over in the early afternoon, worked until dark. Came back the next day, cut the 2 trees down, cut all the wood up, loaded up and disposed of all the branches. Then they used rakes to clean the yard, and used a blower to clean the driveway. One thing that really impressed me is that before they cut down the tree, you see the owner in, he knocked on our door to make sure that once the tree came down, if any of the branches encroached on the neighbour's yard for the short time they would need to clean it up did we think that was ok. Who thinks of things like this? Took 1 1/2 days, 3 workers, complete, neat job, was concerned about leaving no debris. Have already refered him."

"I hired D & E Outside services to do yard clean up/removal. They contacted me and came to my house to give me an estimate in a very timely manner. The estimate was very reasonable. When they had scheduling difficulties they contacted me to let me know. They aren't done with the services yet but have communicated every step of the way!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

You should prune ornamental trees once every other year after the fruit has matured and begun to drop. You should also prune out dead branches whenever you see them. Pruning too often can stimulate more growth, especially in faster growing varieties like Bradford pears.

When a palm tree no longer produces new fronds and old fronds start turning yellow-brown, that’s a sign the tree is dying. However, transplanted palm trees can show these signs for the first several months as they re-establish themselves. It’s best to keep watering and not give up on the palm tree until a couple of seasons have passed and you’re sure it’s not coming back to life.

Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.

Although it’s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. 

Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They’ll be able to walk you through the entire process.
