"We hired Adam and his crew to take down two large maple trees and two smaller trees. Adam showed up on time for the original appointment and provided a detailed estimate. On the day of the job, he called to let us know they were on the way and arrived on time. Adam had the right equipment and the crew did an outstanding job taking the trees down without damaging any of the surrounding landscape. Once the trees were down, they hand raked the entire area to remove all leaves and debris. They spend a huge amount of time grinding the stumps to ensure the stump and elevated roots were all removed. I can't say enough good things about this company. Very professional, on time, excellent quality of work, and a very fair price. I would highly recommend Vivid for any tree work you need to have done."

His workmanship was very good and he worked closely to ensure that we were happy throughout the project. James made adjustments if needed without complaint. James came to work as scheduled and worked closely with us to keep cost down. He carefully sourced materials looking for the best pricing. We will definitely hire James for future home projects and highly recommend him to anyone looking for critter control or handyman projects."

"We were very pleased with A Clean Cut Tree Service. They arrived when they said they would be hereon time, and began working immediatley. When they discovered they could not get the equipment that they wanted to use into my backyard, two of them donned their tree climbling equipment, and went to work. It was a difficult situation, having to drop three trees around power lines and swimming pool. They did a great job!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.
