"Wonderful crew. They did an awesome job of cleaning up all the dead limbs from two 30-40 foot trees and hauled away everything. They then mulched the area under the trees per request and edged the entire area. I highly recommend them."

"They are great workers but you can not communicate with them unless you speak Spanish. The English speaking boss finally came to be paid. He should have stayed to answer questions."

"We recently moved to a new house and needed help quickly with mowing, weeding, trimming of dead bushes, and mulch placement. Jose responded quickly the day I posted the project and was at our house the next day to provide a fair estimate. His crew was here 2 days later and were professional, efficient, and polite. I highly recommend Jose and his company and truly feel he provided 5 star service from his attentiveness to detail, pricing, responsiveness, and quality of work."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to identify wood and determine which types of trees are in your yard. 

Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!

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.

If an arborist is certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the highest level of certification available is ISA Board Certified Master Arborist. According to the ISA, this credential is reserved for arborists “who have reached the pinnacle of their profession.” Check your arborist’s credentials before hiring to confirm their level of training and expertise.

Transporting a fully-grown tree requires heavy equipment, typically specialized for the task. A tree spade is a truck-mounted tool that removes the tree from the ground in one location, transports it, and places it in a new hole in a new location. A combination of mechanized shovels and lifts is necessary to move very large trees, and the exact tools often depend on location and the surrounding area.
