"Crew was very good at what they did. Were on time as stated. Fast efficient and took the time to safeguard my property. Tree was close to home so extra care was needed did job by climbing as no equipment could be used. Cost was a fair price for my job. Another neighbor seen the work going on and hired Bladmir to cut his tree."

"I highly recommend Bladimir Tree Service the work he and his crew provided my family in Lathrup Village. Bladimir responded to my RFQ for multiple tree removals and stump grinding. The quote was provided very timely and was reasonable for the level of work required. One tree was over 60' tall with huge branches, while the other 2 were large overgrown cedar trees. The team showed up punctually and with all their equipment in tow, and after review of the plan, immediately started to work. I did not need to supervise or micro manage, the work was preformed efficiently, safely, and orderly. The cleanup was marvelously done, and grinding was to specification. No complaints, only praise and kudos for this hard working crew. I absolutely would hire Bladimir should I need future tree services."

"I would certainly recommend Independence. They did a great job trimming exactly the branches I wanted removed. They cleaned out the dead wood and were very careful not to damage the bushes below or my lawn. They were very professional and cleaned every thing up nicely. All at a very reasonable price."

Customers say: Quick response

"Great company, great prices, very reliable. I needed a very large stump removed from my mothers lawn. I hit up Angieâ s list and then Josh from the Stump Brothers was the first to contact me. He quoted me over the phone and I went with him. Very nice guy and easy to do business with. Did a excellent job and ground the stump and roots around it deep. Some companies will not go to that extent leaving you with roots and parts of stump still in lawn. He also keeps his word. If he says heâ s coming out, he sticks to the appointment. I highly recommend his service and have him locked into my contact list for future use and to recommend to my friends and family. Thank you Josh and Stump Brothers for doing a great job and being an honest trusted company. A1 Mark Mason, Waterford MI"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

Yes, healthy and well-placed large trees can boost property value by an average of 3% to 15%. They improve curb appeal, offer energy savings through shade and wind protection, and are often considered by appraisers during home valuation. On the flip side, removing dead or hazardous trees can also increase value by eliminating safety risks. For the biggest return, choose low-maintenance, native species that thrive in your climate.

Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
