"Mike from Behind the Grind was excellent. I had a small stump in the front of my yard that we needed to grind. He was prompt, friendly, professional, and gave a fair price. I would highly recommend!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"We were delighted with the work done by Kelly Brothers. Within three days of our initial contact with his company, Noah had come to our place, and walked our property with us to answer our questions, and make recommendations based on what we wanted. We had an estimate three days later, and and the amount was about half of what he had expected. The work was completed exactly as we had requested. Best of all, it was completed in less than three weeks from our first call to Kelly Brothers. We will certainly use this business for any future projects. We recommend these young men highly!"

"I found Sean Timmons and JT Landscaping on Home Advisor, after having bad experiences with other landscapers (never answered my inquiries or looked at the job and never called back). Sean and his team were prompt, professional, and did a wonderful job. This installed a new driveway, created new plantings and beds, stone edged everything, and renovated/redesigned a backyard drainage bed for our French drains."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It's easy to misidentify trees that appear to be maple trees due to similarities in leaf shapes. Sweetgum, sycamore, and yellow poplar all have leaf shapes and appearances similar to maples. The fact that around a dozen maple tree varieties exist, only about half of which are considered common, makes misidentification an often typical occurrence.  

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.

You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.

The recovery time for pruning depends on how much you prune, the species of tree, and how well you care for it afterward. All trees grow new wood and often sprout additional branches after pruning. Ideally, trees should recover from normal pruning after one or two years. Heavy pruning or slow-growing trees may take several years to fully recover.

Since overwatering can harm mature trees just as much as a lack of water, it’s important to know the signs of an overwatered tree. If your tree’s leaves are yellowing, wilting, or dropping leaves, it’s likely that you’re overwatering. Other common signs include rotting, fungi, soggy soil, soft or peeling bark, falling leaves, and brittle roots. 

If you realize that you’ve been overwatering your mature tree, stop watering and give the soil time to dry out. Then moving forward, increase time between watering sessions.
