"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."

"Huge shoutout to Jake Shivo and the JSP Tree Removal And Landscape Company for the work done on our property. In less than 24 hours, Jake responded to our request , came to check out our property, gave us a reasonable quote , and completed the job. The skill, professionalism, and courtesy shown to us was amazing! Working around power lines with their crane lifting 4 large trees from the backyard over our house was spectacular! The fallen limb and yard cleanup completed the job. We would highly recommend JSP Tree and Landscape and would call on them if needed in a heartbeat! David F. Hingham, MA"

"From management down to work crews, by far they past my expectations. I had three other company bid for a very difficult job. I have a feng shui. Garden that was around 4,000 sq ft or more of space. Grass365 was not the cheapest, Turf was great quality They had incredible reviews and lots of experience. As the old saying says, you pay for what you get and I was not taking any chances. The job came out fantastic. On the long run, the savings in landscaping/ water/ sprinkler maintenance, this job will pay it self in three years, itâ s all cruising after that! You canâ t go wrong with this outfit!"

Customers say: True professional

"I had a big job---tall grass, removing existing yard waste, and clearing a long-neglected area of overgrowth. Joel had the vision and worked hard to make it happen, even working around my time constraints. I am very happy with the end result. I also look forward to working with them in the future to fully realize the potential of the yard."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.

Usually, trees cannot grow back after their stump has been ground, but some very hearty types of trees can. For example, if you have a black locust or Redford pear, the grinding will need to go deep to prevent them from growing back. Ask your tree service or stump removal expert whether your tree can resprout after its stump is ground down.

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

On grafted trees, tree suckers will grow from the root stock, not the branches grafted onto it. Therefore, the leaves and characteristics of the suckers aren’t the same as the tree because they are different varieties. Root stock has more hardiness, strength, or drought tolerance than its grafted limbs, so if the suckers are from fruit or flowers, it might be different than the main part of your tree.
