"Very satisfied with the whole process. They trimmed down one tree and then we had them come back and chop one down. The whole crew was very professional. Seeing 3 generations working together is very inspiring. Thanks again"

"My home insurance company was all up in arms about the limbs of the 100+-year-old live oak in my front yard hanging over my roof . . . like a 100+-year-old live oak tree does. Carl came out to take a look, explained to me why the tree should be left as is (it's actually safer), offered to explain it to my insurance company, and even said if the insurance company insisted, he would refuse the project. He is passionate and knowledgeable about trees (I learned some neat tree facts!) as well as ethical in his approach. I'm delighted to report that the insurance company accepted Carl's viewpoint and have stopped demanding I butcher the tree, so I did not need Ferguson's services. But you better believe I'll be calling Ferguson's for all future tree needs!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

The lifespan of a bird's nest depends on the species. The building process can take from two days to three weeks. Once built, the nesting period for baby birds can last from two to ten weeks before they leave the nest. While most young birds are ready in two to six weeks, some predatory species may need up to two and a half months. Some species nest four to five times per year, so a nest could remain in use for several months. For specific information about a particular nest's longevity, it is best to consult a wildlife professional.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.

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.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.
