"I have two very large oak trees that needed some serious thinning out and trimming. Mary was a delight to talk to and share about their family business. She made me feel comfortable with my choice to hire. Marvin came out and gave a fair estimate on the work that needed to be done to save my roof and the trees. He called his arborist out to check on the health of one tree and answered all my questions about trying to save it or take it down. We decided to try to save it. On the day of service we observed a squirrel entering the tree that's health was a concern. The level at which the squirrels had made their home brought little doubt that the tree could be saved and more worries about it causing serious damage if it falls. This tree will have to be removed. I'm extremely satisfied with the job that was done considering the task at hand. Everyone on the crew was professional, causious and courteous. The clean up job was above and beyond my expectations. I would definitely recommend them and will use them in the future for all my tree and lawn care needs."

"A very pleasant group to work with at a good price. They were contracted to perform tree trimming, primarily to remove dead branches. I felt like it was slightly overdone, as many branches were removed that were not dead, leaving a significantly different look. Some dead branches were missed, and many of the cut branches stayed hung up in the tree, which ultimately fell down later or will be falling down later. I certainly am not an arborist, and maybe what seemed like the work was overdone, will work itself out with new and expanding fill in. If that is the case I take back anything that may have sounded negative in this review. They were certainly a pleasant group to work with and should be considered by others."

"Seth and his crew respect the trees, the property and the customer. They did all of the work without having to drive any heavy machinery onto the property,, so the yard was not damaged at all. They had two guys up in the trees with chainsaws and two on the ground picking up and raking. When they were finished, the trees looked great. Not like they had been hacked up, but that they had been neatly trimmed. No more dead branches hanging and falling. Just very clean looking. I just bought this old House and have a lot of improvements to make, so I could not afford to get all of the tree work done at once. We are doing it in stages. I am planning to have them back to do more work on my property in the near future. I was very impressed with their whole operation!"

"We loved Axewood Tree Service. They did professional work with a smile at an excellent price. And even though we accidentally asked for a tree trim instead of a bush trim, they handled our tea camellia beautifully. They also took out some old trash with no questions asked. It's nice to see some folks still have respect for their elders out there"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.  

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

On grafted trees, tree suckers will grow from the root stock, not the branches grafted onto it. Therefore, the leaves and characteristics of the suckers aren’t the same as the tree because they are different varieties. Root stock has more hardiness, strength, or drought tolerance than its grafted limbs, so if the suckers are from fruit or flowers, it might be different than the main part of your tree.

Common signs that a tree is rotting include dead branches, a leaning trunk, peeling or cracked bark, leaf discoloration, and the presence of fungi. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to hire an arborist near you to inspect your tree and determine if it can be saved or if it needs to come down.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.
