"J E Landscaping sent an estimator the day after we placed the request. Our tree was rotting from the inside, unknown to us. A large branch crashed down on our house 2 days later. Our insurance said to have the tree removed before they could send an adjuster. This company was able to come out on Monday to work on the Emergency Tree removal. We had the entire tree cut down, including the stump. The men worked 10 hours. They were amazing, hard working, careful and friendly. They worked around wires near the house and tree without damage. Flower and vegetable gardens were intact. The stump was ground up. Wood chips taken away. Black dirt and grass seeded in the hole. Cleanup was fantastic. I would recommend JE Landscaping for 5 Star work."

"They arrived early and proceeded to get to work. There were about 4 or 5 guys working on the team. I didn't want a one-man show. I wanted a team of guys to work on my yard. They ground every stump in my yard and trimmed the trees near my pool. They removed each stump and blew away any remaining debris in my driveway. When they finished, I pointed out an additional tree to trim. They quickly trimmed the tree and removed the limbs. I'm glad I selected Smart Choice Tree Service. They did an excellent job at a fair price! I would definitely recommend them and hire them again."

"Ramos Tree service did a fabulous ? job. His prices were reasonable. They cleaned up after themselves and came back the next day as promised to remove the stump. The only thing I didn't like is we agreed on the work being done at 3 pm, and they showed up at 8 am.I had to leave them at my home because I had something else to do. Other than that, they were fantastic, and I will use again and / or recommend them."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.
