"We are SO happy that we found Ethan and Arbor Wise! We overheard one of his employees talking about working for an arborist. We immediately asked him who he worked for, as we had been looking for an arborist for several years, after our prior one had left the business. We could NOT be happier. Arbor Wise is even better than the arborist we had before! They came out for an estimate within a few days, gave us the quote and were done with the job within a short time. Not only did they do a great job of correcting the problems caused by a prior tree trimmer they explained exactly what they were doing and what would need to be done to resolve the mess that had been left behind. They also cleaned up all the debris and left our yard looking so much better than it had in years. We look forward to many years of having Arbor Wise take care of our trees for us! Thank you so much, Ethan and Sean!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.
