My name is Ethan, I've worked in such a variety of workplaces that I have the experience to accomplished tasks around your home. \nI specialize in outdoor, landscaping tasks like tree pruning and small tree removals. I'm also able to plant trees and shrubs. I'm willing mow lawns and weed flowerbeds and remove brush and clear land. \nI don't have a large outfit or a crew, so I would be more like your neighbor helping out for the day.\nI know how to get the work done right so that we all get to be with our families at the end of the day. \nI grew up in Lewiston so I know these people, and I want to take good care of my Community. \nI am in school full time and a couple part time jobs right now, but I'm happy to help my community how I can! \nThanks

"Awesome crew. Responded to request for a quote, came to my house to see the job and give a quote and came back to do the job all in the same day! Very knowledgeable and careful when removing fallen tree off of my house. Had to change plans when they got into the job, but adjusted seamlessly as a team. Cleaned up extra debris, very intentional service!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.

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.
