"I hired Greenleafs Design to basically rip out my front lawn (weeds mostly), and replace with a beautiful garden. We couldn't be happier with Rich and his service. He worked within our budget, he designed layout, installed plants/shurbs and drip irrigation system. It looks amazing!"

"This is an outstanding tree service. We hired them to take down 1 over 100ft pine tree and one maple about 55 ft. The employees of this company were so conscientious about their work and some of the hardest working men we have ever seen. The men who climbed to the top of the 100 ft tree were amazing. The work was done with safety the top priority and quality following. The owner Mario, was here the entire job and ensured the clean up was done as before they arrived. Not only do we rate there work as outstanding, out of the three estimates we received, their price was the best. We highly recommend this service."

"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"

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.  

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.

The Christmas tree type that smells the best to you will ultimately depend on personal preference. But if that classic Christmas tree smell is important to you, choosing a type of tree known for its scent is a safe bet. Try a balsam fir for a spicy, comforting scent or a Douglas fir for a sweeter smell. You may also like Fraser firs, Scotch pines, and blue spruces.
