"I have never seen guys work as hard as the guys from MC Tree Service worked. We are talking about their crew, with impressive coordination, manually lifting up logs that probably weighed 200 pounds or more and walking them down the hill. They kept up that kind of work ethic for a good 8 hours! It is really refreshing to work with a company that is willing to work hard and do a great job. I can highly recommend them!"

"I met with Mr Lopez for an estimate and agreed to his fair price, then he told me he had a crew in the area and they could do the job today. The crew did a fantastic job and cleaned up like they were never there. I would definitely recommend them and would call them myself if we need more tree work. I am very happy"

"We had a large tree removal project involving 20 trees and including a large, damaged maple with 5ft dia trunk. I received multiple quotes for the project and ended up selecting Jose. His price was competitive and in-line with others. Showed up with his crew a day earlier than planned and completed on-time in 3 days with all material removed from site and stumps ground down. Great, positive attitude from Jose and all of his crew. Would hire again and strongly recommend."

"Adam called me immediately and met me that same day. I hired the company and they cut my grass that same day. They used a ride on mower and my land is uneven so some areas were shorter than others. Two days later they spread 10 yards of hemlock mulch and recut some areas of my grass with push mower. They will use a push mower in the future. My yard now looks beautifully landscaped. Communication is definately key with this company. They aim to please!!"

"When recommended they called me within 15 mins, and said he would be there the next day to give me an estimate. He showed up on time and we discussed what I wanted done. He quoted me a great price, I signed the paperwork, he stated he couldn't get it done for a couple of weeks, before the 2 weeks I got a call saying they would be there the next day in which they were. They were there for 2 days and you couldn't ask for better service. They cleaned up much more that I would have expected, the men were very courteous and respectful. I would highly recommend Grounds Management Landscape and Tree for anyone in need of their services, I am looking forward for using them for other projects in the near future, and I hope you do as well. Great job thanks again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

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.

Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.
