"TDR did a wonderful job cleaning up and mowing my neglected yard in a very timely manner as well as giving me a quote before doing the work. I'm very happy I found & hired TDR, spoke with Stephen many times over the course of the job as well as receiving pictures of work and video when completed since I wasn't able to be there at my place. Highly recommend & hired Stephen to come back to keep yard under control in the future."

"This company was wonderful. They advised me a head of time that under circumstances they would be out as soon as possible they kept me informed and made sure they showed up the day they said at 5 o’clock in the evening and worked until 9 o’clock at night and then came back the next morning. They did an excellent job of cleaning up after tree trimming."

"Thomas Cole arrived at the scheduled time and removed two tall dead trees from my back yard. I asked him while he was on site to trim 3 other trees in my yard. He removed all the debris from my yard as well as other trimmings I had cut prior to his arrival. Kelly Down Land Managementâ s price beat everyone else and I received quotes from a significant amount of people. Iâ ll definitely be calling this service again!"

"Excellent service. Punctual, professional, courteous, and efficient. The yard looks great! All debris, clippings, and trash were bagged and removed. Also installed some shelving in the garage. Again, very professional in making sure the shelves were secure and level. Swept the floor and wiped down the shelves after installing. I'm very pleased with the work done and will call them again for future needs."

"Mr. Mullins and his crew did an outstanding job. I had about 15 trees removed, several over 100 feet tall. The crew cut the trees down safely, removed them from my property and cleaned up the mess so well that you can't tell they were there. I had some of the stumps ground down. Mr. Mullins brought some very impressive equipment to the job that made the job go fast. I will absolutely use them again and I would recommend them to anyone."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

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

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

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.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.
