"This company gave good ideas on what i should do in terms of landscaping my front and backyard. They were on time for the job, went over and beyond on my landscaping for the money i paid. I would use them again, matter of fact I called them today about another project I have up my sleeve ☺️"

"The estimator/arborist, Brian, was very helpful and knowledgeable in his assessment of my tree.  I felt that he would have tried to save the tree if possible, but it was too damaged and was in danger of doing harm to my property or my neighbor's property.  I thought the estimate was fair and communication with the office was handled efficiently. 

The work was scheduled on one of the hottest days of the year, but the crew of five men seemed undaunted. They worked well as a team and took as much care as possible to protect my house and yard.  Although the work was supposed to be finished in one day,  they had to come back a couple of days later to finish up, which took another half day.  The clean-up was thorough.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Local tree removal prices range from $200 to $2,000 overall, but vary depending on:

  • Local cost of labor and supplies

  • Accessibility of the tree

  • Local laws regarding who is allowed to remove the tree

  • The species of the tree (softer woods are often easier to remove)

  • Local seasonal discounts for the off-season

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

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.
