"William came out to remove two tree stumps from our condominium courtyard. He arrived right on time and we went over the job with him. He quickly sized up the job and gave us a fair price. William was very efficient and thorough in doing all the work that needed to be done to clear the area. He was very professional, kind, and careful to make sure we were happy with his work, and he offered to help with tree planting in the future. We highly recommend William and will definitely call on him again when we need help of this kind."

Customers say: Quick response

"Elivon and his team got the job well done with high quality and skillful execution, highly recommend you get the quote from them before you make a decision. S1 team responded the call right away and scheduled the quick appointment to discuss with me the tree care concern, project timelines and check the situation and any safety issue. The quote is reasonable price compared with the others. ( Very competitive !!! You can save a lot of money) They answered question quick and professionally. They did the work within three day after I contacted them, the crane arrived on time and cleaned the ground after removed several big maple trees and hauled away debris. When they found the disease/unstable/dead trees nearby they cut it without extra charge. I definitely will rehire them and recommend to my friends who need the tree service. Thank you S1 team"

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."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

Many consider the Fraser fir to be the most popular type of Christmas tree, but which type of tree sells out near you can depend on region and decorating trends that year. For example, the Leyland cypress is especially popular in the Southeast, according to the National Christmas Tree Association.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.
