"The crew was very courteous and pruned according to my instructions--did not over prune. They did a nice job of cleaning up and took care not to damage plants and shrubs in the process. The owner is a certified Arborist and couldn't have been nicer. I would absolutely call on him again.

"Excellent. Beyond expectations. They did it efficiently and on time. They even cut the proper size limbs into fireplace lengths so I could use a splitter on them. (At no extra charge.) They leveled the torn up yard with their Bobcat.. The original quoted price was $5,000, but it was reduced to $4,500 when I told them not to grind the stump. All debris was carried away. I would definitely recommend this company."

"Darrel and his crew were a very sharp crew. They showed up at 9am as they stated and worked diligently until every branch was in one neatly stacked pile. As you know tree trimming is pricy but remember you get what you pay for. Darryl was reasonable and insured and he took care of my property with a fair hand shake deal. They will be back in the summer to remove two large pine trees, I'll let everyone know how they do."

"It really was not what I expected. I wanted some advice and he wasn't prepared to give the advice. So I just let it go. He came out, met with me, I told him what I wanted. He told me he would do the work and I asked him for suggestions because that's really why I did that. I don't know much about landscaping at all and I was looking for different types of plants and that kind of a thing. He just simply wasn't prepared to make recommendations. So, I just dropped it. He was very prompt. He did not charge anything more. The guy needs to get more knowledge, he really does. If you call yourself a landscape company you typically know something about plants and flowers and bushes and shrubs and trees so that you can give recommendations, not just show up and plant. If a friend or a family member was looking for labor only, I'm sure he would be okay. He came out to do physical labor only, without any knowledge or expertise other than how deep to dig a hole. So it was not landscaping consultation. Landscaping consultation consists of recommending and suggesting certain plants for certain areas and knowledgeable enough about the whole plant kingdom to tell you whether or not a specific type of plant would survive in that area. That's a consultation."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.

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. 

Costs reflect the size of the tree or shrub, the complexity of the task, location accessibility, and disposal needs, and comprehensive quotes vary accordingly.
