"The only suggestions that I would make is to inform theme owner that the branches that are cut down have a good chance of falling on any/all plants and shrubs underneath. That was a surprise as a huge hydrangea bush was smashed but it will come back. The information would be considerate though instead of looking out the window and seeing that garden all smashed. Also, there are some dead branches that were just balancing on a live branch that he could have removed but missed them. Otherwise they did good work. Mrs. Lash"

Customers say: Super punctual

"Paul and his team were amazing from start to finish! I hired him for some tree work as well as some lawn repair. When he showed up for a quote, he walked around the yard and educated me at the same time as making recommendations. He told me about the types of trees, which branches he would remove, and the exact reason why. He told me about the various options for seeding and composting and the benefits of each. When they actually came to do the work, they went above and beyond. While pruning, they had some extra manpower and asked if I would like all of the hedges and bushes cleaned up at the same time. When they did the lawn, there was some extra compost so they expanded the area that was originally discussed. The price was completely reasonable and everything turned out just as expected if not better. I highly recommend their services and I will definitely hire again in the future."

Small jobs welcome

"The job was done as requested, the service was available within 1 day of me making an inquiry, the worker arrived the day of on time and was very professional, the job was completed within a few hours, the work done was adequate but there is room for improvement as the thoroughness of the cleanup was not to expectation as some smaller leaves and mid-large tree branches still remained on the grass and in flower beds. The price was competitive for the square footage and moderate leaf coverage and they also hauled away leaves that were already pre-packed."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

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.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

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.
