"Raul Avalos came out to remove four trees and take out some dead limbs in some other trees. They showed up at 8 am and left at 2:30 pm. They do great work and my wife and I are very happy with them. They hauled all the trees and limbs away and the yard looked great after they were done. I would highly recommend them for any tree service work."

"After being ghosted by several "established" tree companies in Central Iowa I found online, I went to HomeAdvisor to find someone who would actually do the work after coming put to put in a bid on removing my dead ash tree. These guys fron E&H Maintenance called me and came out 2 days later to take a look at my tree. They gave me a reasonable bid and came by 6 days later to do the work. Just two very capable young men who worked hard and got most the tree down in one day, even having to work around multiple power lines and dealing with limbs hanging over my house. The next day they came back to cut down the rest of the trunk and they thoroughly cleaned everything up when they were finished. They did an amazing job with less equipment and with only two guys for about the same price the larger companies had quoted me. I would highly recommend skipping those tree companies who have websites and non-responsive office staff who may quote you a bid but will never bother to return your calls or come out when promised, and go with these two hard-working entrepreneurs. You'll be glad you worked with them, I guarantee it!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Professionals use assessments, strategic cuts, specialized equipment, and safety measures to ensure healthy growth or the safe removal of trees or shrubs.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.

Most tree removals take 3-8 hours, requiring additional time for stump grinding or debris hauling.
