"Good communication. Willing to be flexible about what I needed done. Even were able to schedule earlier than they first connected with me. Did a thorough job and even offered to put in some mulch where it was needed. Plan on requesting their services again for planting, now that the trees and bushes pruned back."

Customers say: Quick response

"We were overwhelmed with downed trees during the July 2019 tornados. Neighbors had Marcos and his crew cleaning up their yard so we inquired about his service. Marcos gave us a decent and honest price-no gouging! His crew was non-stop-we had to keep asking them to take a break in the heat. Amazing! Then we had to have Marcos come back a month later for some "leaning" trees that need to come down. Again-great pricing-immediate service. Now, we wouldn't consider anyone else but Majick Landscaping!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

Tree roots don’t necessarily break through concrete on their own, but they can certainly take advantage of existing cracks, even very small ones. As roots grow, they expand the cracks, making them larger and leading to serious and costly foundation damage. It’s a good idea to have repairs on any foundation cracks you’re concerned about.

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

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

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.
