"Treescape Services was excellent! They were prompt, courteous and professional. They removed a large tree that was leaning over my shed and rear addition. They completed everything that was agreed upon and I was very pleased with their services."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Through the whole estimating and scheduling process, I had to take all the initiative. But at least he was responsive, which the other contractors weren't. Behnke's used to say, "Dig a $20 hole for a $10 plant," wider rather than deeper. He didn't really do that, but he did loosen the soil. While loosening roots of a nearby tree, they cut our FIOS cable, so we had no internet for a day. I blame both myself and him for not anticipating that possibility. In the end, it looked great, and the price was right."

Small jobs welcome

"I've had several projects completed in the last 6 months and every time the work was outstanding. Started out as regular grass cut and trim but morphed into major cleanup of overgrown shrubs interlaced with ivy. All cleaned up and ivy removed. Just today our non-maintained magnolia trees were cleaned up and things growing underneath completely cleaned out. Been here 40 years and it's never looked this good."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

To maintain trees on a commercial property, perform regular pruning, monitor for diseases, and apply fertilization to promote healthy growth. It is also important to remove any hazardous branches to keep the trees healthy and prevent potential liability issues.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.
