"I cannot say enough good things about Crystal and her team at Calvert Tree Experts! We came home from vacation to a tree that crashed on our home. I made a post in a local group looking for recommendations and Calvert Tree Experts came highly recommended. When I spoke to Crystal, on Sunday, she was out of town but said she would come to my house that evening. She came to my home, took pictures, explained everything to me. Extremely accommodating and personable. I was worried to do anything without permission from my insurance, so I asked to wait until Monday when I got the green light from them. I was initially told no but I was also lucky to find an amazing Contractor that came out and got the emergency work approved quickly. At that point it was already Monday evening but I reached out to Crystal and the crew was here within an hour and had everything taken care of. The whole team was extremely professional, personable and reliable. They definitely helped with a stressful situation."

"Very friendly estimator, listened to what I wanted done and explained about their insurances and worker's comp payments. Treescape was the first and only company to respond to my HomeAdvisor/Angi inquiry which surprised me. Their price seemed fair to me (and I always underestimate what projects will cost). The work crew arrived on time even though it was a hellishly hot day. Very carefully took down one tree which was between my deck and fence and trimmed back another one about 50%. Excellent clean up, very satisfied and would definitely hire them again. My neighbor had them come out a week later to take down a tree for him."

"The Contractor (Greentree) did a fabulous job !! The entire crew was friendly, courteous, and very professional. Starting with the initial site visit (by Jeff Stone) Greentree was focused on customer satisfaction. The care and attention to detail (i.e. to ensure no damage was done to any surrounding trees, shrubs, etc.) was clearly noticeable and far exceeded expectation. I would certainly recommend Greentree for any tree service (large or small) project you might have."

"Excellent service.  Solved problem with spider mites consuming our Alberta spruce trees.  Solved problem with nutsedge (invasive grass species) in lawn.  These issues were not addressed by our previous service providers.
Shrub and lawn appearance has improved since they assumed service.
However, their prices reflect the number and type of service visits, not the size of the property.  Consequently, we cannot afford to continue using their service for our small property.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Often, it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to handle the aftermath when a neighbor’s tree falls on their property. But if a tree has been obviously dead for a significant period of time and caused damage when it fell, a case can be made that the owner should have removed it, especially if the neighbor wrote you a letter about the tree or asked you to take it down. This can be grounds for a successful lawsuit in claims court and is a good reason to always pay attention to your trees and remove dead trees before they fall.

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.

The average tree pruning should take one hour with the right equipment. Light pruning of a small tree may only take around 15 to 20 minutes. Pruning multiple large trees in your yard will probably take several hours, including cleanup. However, tree pruning pros can do this job much faster, so you can rely on pros if you’re short on time.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.  

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.
