Customers say: True professional

"I highly recommend MC Tree Service. They arrived promptly with a very large truck and trailer containing all the equipment needed. I had been suffering for 2 weeks with a very itchy and widespread rash from poison ivy or plant based allergy from my yard, which was overgrown with tons of weeds, including poison ivy. Fernando and his team member very energetically got rid of all the weeds and ivy, working non-stop from 7:30AM till after 3:30PM, wearing professional protective uniforms. They made borders and beds around my nice plants, removed all the leaves from under the deck, and totally transformed my yards. Now I don't have to worry about myself or my cat accidentally brushing past or walking on poisonous plants. This service didn't come cheap, but I desperately needed the work done and am very glad I spent the money and got lucky choosing this contractor."

"Very professional and efficient. They pruned the tree exactly as I asked. They were quick and polite throughout the work. They were the only ones who gave me a written quote. They also showed up on time for the quote. For the job itself, they were a little late but they explained why (traffic) and Boston is a very traffic loaded area. Totally acceptable as I think they are quite honest. The cost was also quite acceptable when I compared them to the other quotes I received. Hector the estimator was very professional, actually listened and understood what I was saying. I would hire this crew again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It will take you anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours per tree stump to grind and remove the stump from the ground. The larger the size, the longer it will take to remove the stump. Also, keep in mind that rocky soil may require local excavation services to loosen up large boulders before you can begin to remove the tree stump.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

There are several signs that may indicate a tree needs to be cut down. These include visible damage to the trunk or branches, a hollow trunk, extensive storm damage, or a significant lean to one side. Other warning signs are pest infestations or the tree growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures. It is best to hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree, as they can determine if it can be saved or if removal is necessary.

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.
