"Fernando Reyes gave a highly competitive bid. Since we were first time with a difficult hundred foot tee on steep, difficult terrain, we examined the website, found they had heavy lift capabilities and gave the job . A broken part caused a two day delay and they were on site 10 AM with a large hard working crew and to our amazement completed the job in 3 hours, raking and seeding their equipment tracks . We could not ask more and will definitely make Fernando Reyes and White OakTree Expert our “go to company” for this rural , complex forest environment surrounding our laboratory."

"When I emailed Pro Arbor, they contacted me by phone within a few hours and scheduled their arborist, Adam, to come the next business day. Adam arrived a few minutes early, which was wonderful, and looked carefully at each of our three large trees in the front yard. He then explained the issues with each tree and made suggestions for each one for now and for the future. He arranged to do the work two days later. Adam himself showed up with the crew right on time on the service day, and he introduced me to all of the crew members. The guys worked quickly and carefully, and when they were done, they showed me exactly what they'd done to each tree and what we should think about next time they come. When the invoice came, it didn't reflect a discount I'd purchased via Angie's list, but Alice fixed the problem within hours. Their emails, telephone calls, and in-person contacts were among the most professional I've ever encountered with home-services providers. I will definitely be calling them in a few years to trim our trees again. Working with them was simply a terrific experience.

"Luckily I speak Spanish so I was able to communicate with the workers what needed to be done. The supervisor showed up later, but the person who initially evaluated the trees did not come back on site. Mr. Castro was very friendly when he was out and, while not an arborist, seemed to know his stuff. The catch was that the guys who came, while very good workers and very nice, were not arborists either so they were asking me what I preferred as far as cutting back the branches. This is not my specialty so I had a hard time figuring out if more needed to be done.
The price was right and the trees look nice now. I would have preferred to have an arborist who could give me advice on what exactly should be cut back and to over see the work.

"We have been using Blades of Green for years and their service is outstanding. Our lawn is often commented on because even through Winter it is lush and green. Their mole control service has cleared our yard of tunnels and holes. Every Fall we have their aeration and over seeding done and this service has kept our yard looking beautiful and healthy. All of the technicians that have come out are knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I strongly recommend this company to anyone who wants quality service for their yard!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Ensures complete removal and mitigates risks of underground root damage.

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.

A tree can split because of high winds, a change in temperature, or from an infestation or tree disease. All of these factors can overlap, making a single cause difficult to pinpoint. While winter storms are some of the most common causes for a tree to split, it can also happen because of termites or rot.

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to identify wood and determine which types of trees are in your yard. 

Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!
