"George and his crew were on time and did a great job. When they left the yard looked the same as it was when they got there. They were about 70 feet tall and crew a great job. Would hire them again in a heartbeat and will again this fall for my Bradford tree in front yard."

"Mike and AM Tree and Landscaping were wonderful! They listened to our concerns, made suggestions and explained WHY they were going to trim the way they did. They touched base with us regularly to make sure we were all on the same page! They went above and beyond what tree services we’d ever had before! Clean up was spot on and all at a very reasonable price. We definitely recommend them to everyone!"

"Perfect. Quick and orderly. Was considerate to not damage other trees. Cleaned up the yard debris afterward and returned at later date to grind stumps. I could not be happier with the service."

"Very professional and courteous. Responded right away and was able to get a quote the same day I put in the request. A portion of my yard was covered with downed branches from a storm. They left my place looking very clean as if nothing ever happened."

Small jobs welcome

"We had been meaning to have someone look at the health of our backyard trees, and I'm so glad to have found Arborist care l Care Urban Forestry. Mathew was professional, pleasant, and extremely knowledgeable. He told us what he recommended (trimming, cabling) and why, as well as what WASN'T necessary in this case (treatment for destructive bugs, removal of a leaning tree). He then performed the job efficiently and with care."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

Burning a tree stump can be effective, but it comes with safety considerations and isn’t always best for every situation. It's essential to check local regulations and assess the safety risks involved. Stumps that are near wooden structures or other non-moveable flammable objects aren’t good candidates for burning due to the risk of the fire spreading. Alternatives like grinding or a DIY stump rotting project might be safer and quicker for getting the job done.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

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.

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.
