"Edilson is the owner: an incredibly experienced arborist with a positive, polite personality. He provided a prompt, no-pressure free estimate which was more than reasonable (we had fielded a few estimates; his was the best). The day of work his crew arrived on time: all of them were friendly and respectful. They worked efficiently and the end product was better than I had hoped for (i.e. faster and with stellar pick-up). My experience with Edilson's Maple Tree Services was outstanding, and I would recommend them to all of my family and friends. They are commensurate professionals well-worth the chance!"

"I recently hired this tree service company to remove several overgrown shrubs and bushes from my property, and they did an excellent job from start to finish. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and cleaned everything up before leaving. They were professional, respectful, and made the whole process stress-free. I highly recommend them to anyone in needs of their services"

"Outstanding service! I am so impressed with the work done on my yard. I had multiple tree stumps located on a tricky hillside slope. Other companies passed on the job because of the difficult terrain, but William was able to grind them down with ease. Not only did he complete the tough job, but he also did a fantastic job cleaning up the debris afterward. The yard looks great. Reliable, skilled, and highly recommended—I would absolutely use him again!"

"I would highly recommend this company, they were very efficient, professional and their customer service with excellent, because the tree that had to be taken down was in the middle of my fencing yard, that they were unable to use a mechanical lift, the job had actually to climb a tree, the cleanup was performed perfectly and the top of everything else, their quote was the lowest quote i received."

"Andrew and his crew built a hip roof over my existing front porch. My front porch is much larger than most ( 12x 11).. The cost seem high at first, however well within range of other licenced and insured contractors. Skip any contractor who is not going to pull a permit and have their work inspected . He came highlly recommended by my roofing company, as well as 2 other homeowners who had work done by his company. All had high praises for the quality of his wokmanship.. Both homeowners have had him back for other projects. The roofing company regularly recommends him and 1 other contractor if Andrew is too backed up in contracts. Yes, it is best to book early for any GOOD contractor. I believe that what sets the best contractors apart from the rest is the quality of the workers who show up to do the work. Most owners and upfront sales people talk a great sales pitch. THEN when the actual team shows up, you soon begin to realize just what you have. ARM has an amazing group oh hard woring SKILLED employees. The inspector commented on the quality of wormanship. Natually all work passed inspection. I am also booking ARM for 2 orher future projects. If you are one of those people who believes you do the work right the first time, then this is a contractor you want in your contact list. It took me quite a long time & ALOT of trial and error to finally find a good contractor.. Save yourself the effot and cost of trial & error."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.

Deciduous shade trees (the type of trees whose leaves fall off in autumn) need to be pruned in late winter—between February and March. That’s because it’s easier to find and remove sick or dead branches when no leaves are present. And wounds close and heal faster in colder temperatures so pruning them at this time also makes them less prone to infection.

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.

If you ever want to see the literal fruits of your labor, you’ll need to prune your peach trees. Without pruning, the trees may not grow or bear fruit since the nutrients will be divided among too many offshoots to provide any with enough energy to produce the peaches. Plus, if parts of the peach tree become diseased or pest-ridden, pruning can nip those problems in the bud.
