"Drive way was compacted and over grown with grass, weeds, and allowing water into the garage. Had a hill on one side of the house lower against the foundation, getting water in basement. Needed a patio to replace the rotted deck and allow my dog run. Did a great job, hired to rejuvenate and gravel driveway which looks awesome, remove hill along side of house place dirt against house and leave a swell between property to not cause an issue for my neighbor, much dryer in the basement, removed what was left of my rotted deck to put in a patio sloped away from the house. Was too hot for me but they showed up and got everything done quicker than I thought it would be. Very happy I was able to hire them"

"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."

"Jose and his crew trimmed one large tree which was resting on our house, removed another tree between our house & the neighboring house, and trimmed two smaller trees in front, while maintaining the shadey "arch" they form over the sidewalk. They came when they said they would, did the job well, and cleaned up beautifully. We are already planning our next project."

"Des Moines Area Roofing was professional, trustworthy, and demonstrated excellent attention to detail from initial contact to job completion. Cleanup was so thorough that the next day you wouldn't even know that such a major project had taken place. It has been 2 weeks since the new roofs and we haven't seen even one stray nail left behind (and they did a complete tear down to both buildings, right down to the wood). An excellent company with which to do business. I offer my highest possible recommendation."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.

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.

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

There are several signs that may indicate a tree needs to be cut down. These include visible damage to the trunk or branches, a hollow trunk, extensive storm damage, or a significant lean to one side. Other warning signs are pest infestations or the tree growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures. It is best to hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree, as they can determine if it can be saved or if removal is necessary.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.
