"I had an exceptional experience working with Gregner, the owner. He provided outstanding service while disassembling my furniture in preparation for my upcoming move. From start to finish, he demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and excellent customer service. I was especially impressed with his responsiveness and willingness to accommodate my needs on such short notice. His attention to detail and dedication to completing the job properly made the entire process much easier and less stressful. Thanks to Gregner?s assistance, my moving company will have significantly less work to handle on moving day, allowing for a smoother transition from my current residence to my new home. I truly appreciate his hard work, reliability, and commitment to customer satisfaction. I highly recommend Gregner to anyone seeking dependable, professional, and high-quality furniture services. I will definitely consider using his services again in the future!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.

Trees should be pruned every two to five years, depending on its age and type. Young trees should be inspected and pruned every two to three years. Mature trees should be inspected and trimmed every three to five years, and fruit trees should be pruned annually with a careful eye on seasonal growth. Evergreens typically don’t need pruning, unless branches or limbs are damaged, diseased, or harboring pests.

Ensures complete removal and mitigates risks of underground root damage.

If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.
