"These guys know their trees and are a pleasure to work with. They climbed a large tree to trim it, removed three smaller trees and some bushes. They provide quality work and thorough cleanup at reasonable prices! Highly recommend!"

"Owner/arborist was forthcoming in discussing the work, reviewed options, pros & cons, and provided his expertise about the trees and work in question. He came on the day, actually offered an early day (which I couldn't take advantage of but was great to be asked!), and did all the work efficiently and effectively. They cleaned up the branches, etc wonderfully! Jim was great and I'd recommend them without reservation."

"I hired this company for spring cleanup, and when they got here they were able to do so much more They edged all my beds. They mulched everything. They filled my new raised beds with loam. They cleaned my two ponds. They went way over and above what I expected, I would recommend them highly to anyone. They .were professional. They were courteous. They left nothing behind. It was absolutely the best experience I’ve had hiring someone in a long time. I couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend them to anyone for any projects."

"Iâ m glad i hired them. They did wonderful work on the trees out back. So much light is coming through now, my neighbors are happy that the trees arenâ t stretching over on their side of the fence, and itâ s just so much better. They were fast, efficient, and cleaned up the debris. I love how they all worked together so well to get the job done. Communication was great and everyone was very nice."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Although it’s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. 

Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They’ll be able to walk you through the entire process.

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.

A serrated knife will work for cutting off small palm tree fronds, about 1 inch in diameter. For larger fronds, you will need pruning shears. You may also use a pruning saw, and if your palm tree is especially tall, an extended pole saw can help you reach the brown fronds around the trunk.

You should prune ornamental trees once every other year after the fruit has matured and begun to drop. You should also prune out dead branches whenever you see them. Pruning too often can stimulate more growth, especially in faster growing varieties like Bradford pears.

Bradford pear trees bloom in early spring with small white flowers. They typically flower for at least two weeks. In bloom, these trees often emit a foul-smelling odor that’s often compared to rotting fish. Bradford pear trees will sometimes bloom in the fall due to drought or other stress-inducing conditions.
