"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."

"Fedi & his crew did an excellent job on the landscaping project at our office. They removed weeds and installed river rocks and added an additional section to a retaining wall. They communicated well, gave a prompt, accurate cost estimate, started and finished the job as promised, and made sure everything was in place and the site cleaned up before leaving. I would definitely hire them again!"

Customers say: Quick response

"My grass needed mowing real bad and it was late in the evening when I spoke with Bernie and he said he would be out the next afternoon to quote me a price. He quoted a reasonable price and he was very friendly and professional and he did a nice job cutting, trimming and clean up. Bernie is a keeper for me now. I am very satisfied and highly recommend him."

"Very professional and efficient. We had a dead tree that needed removed and no one else would do it due to close proximity to power lines and being in a dense neighborhood. He removed the tree cleanly and didn’t charge me an arm and a leg to do it. We would definitely use him again!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

The shepherd’s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over 230 feet deep. Some African communities refer to it as the “Tree of Life” since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000 per tree, depending on size, location, and accessibility.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

Trees should be pruned every two to five years, depending on its age and type. Young trees should be inspected and pruned every two to three years. Mature trees should be inspected and trimmed every three to five years, and fruit trees should be pruned annually with a careful eye on seasonal growth. Evergreens typically don’t need pruning, unless branches or limbs are damaged, diseased, or harboring pests.

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.
