"Requesting a quote from and then hiring Illinois Tree Service was quick and easy. Their quote was the same as another large operation in town, but they didn't need to bring massive equipment into the yard as the other company had in the past. A large crew of men worked safely and efficiently for about six to seven hours to remove both old cottonwoods and grind their stumps. They cleaned up beautifully as they worked and left the yard free of sticks and branches. I would highly recommend them."

"Horjes and Joe did a fantastic job. They were skilled and careful with an eye for appropriate shapes and sizes for each tree trimmed. Not to be confused with an Alberquer New Mexico firm named with almost the same name on Angi. My husband and I were pleased with their curtesy, ability to clean up everything and to work diligently and safely. We want them to come back again in th late fall to work on trimming our very large oak tree."

"Fernandez Tree Care was amazing to work with. I had a large White Pine in my back yard that needed some help. I initially wanted to just trim the tree but on closer inspection and conversation we decided it was best to remove the tree due to the health and age of the tree. Humberto (super nice guy) is a certified Arborist and while speaking through all of our options he was very informative and understanding that I was having a hard time deciding to remove the tree (he should also be a licensed therapist for how indecisive I was) but, as mentioned above, due to health and age of the tree, trimming it was only a band-aid for future issues. Day of, the crew was very friendly, professional, and quick. An 8 hour job only took about 5 hours and they helped with a few other tree/stump issues around the property because they had the equipment there. They did not have to do this but it was no trouble for Humberto and his team. They also took great care in cleaning up in both my yard and my neighbors yard where debris fell. Neighbors have already asked for the recommendation because they were so professional. All this at a very reasonable price too. I look forward to working with Fernandez Tree Care again very soon to get a new tree set up in our yard and would absolutely recommend this team to anyone needing help with their trees, trimming, fertilizing, or removing."

"BTR provided a quote and took out our small 30’ Hawthorn on the same day. They came in with a crew of 6 working locally on another project and the tree was gone! They moved fast but weren’t all that kind to our flowers (damaged) and bird bath (knocked over) in the process. If you want work done quickly these are the guys for you. Keep your eyes on where they plan to drag the branches in advance and you should be fine."

"Hugh did a great job grinding the buried roots of my already cut down Locust tree. He had to work in a small space and get many roots. He is a listener, hard worker, and thorough."

"Bella did a great job trimming the dead wood out of our Ash tree. Their Arborist took the time to consult with us on future treatment for the tree and steps we can take to continue trying to save it after being ravaged by the ash bore. Very pleased with the work and their professionalism. Will be calling them again and will definitely recommend to others."

"Great Job! They removed a huge tree in our backyard. They arrived on time within a week of me hiring them. They came on a Saturday so I could be home when they cut down the tree. They were the only quote I got that did not require the electricity to my house be turned off for the day, as the electric wire went under the tree. It ended up not being a problem for them! They cleaned up the yard and my roof afterwards. The price they quoted was great! Very satisfied with their job! Would highly recommend them!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Using Epsom salt to kill a tree stump typically takes between six and 12 months. While this may seem like a long time, it is significantly faster than the natural decomposition process, which can take up to seven years. This method is a viable DIY option for stumps that do not pose an immediate hazard. If you need a faster solution, you can hire a professional for stump removal or grinding, though this may cause more damage to the surrounding ground.

The Christmas tree type that smells the best to you will ultimately depend on personal preference. But if that classic Christmas tree smell is important to you, choosing a type of tree known for its scent is a safe bet. Try a balsam fir for a spicy, comforting scent or a Douglas fir for a sweeter smell. You may also like Fraser firs, Scotch pines, and blue spruces.

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

It will take you anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours per tree stump to grind and remove the stump from the ground. The larger the size, the longer it will take to remove the stump. Also, keep in mind that rocky soil may require local excavation services to loosen up large boulders before you can begin to remove the tree stump.

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.
