"I have dealt with a lot of tree service cos. In my 73 years in multiple states. Shane and his team is as good as it gets. A 10. I have several friends that have used him and all are pleased. Tim the Arborist came out on a Saturday and said the tree would not make it through another wind storm within splitting in two. They showed up early for Monday’s apt. Took the tree down & did an exceptional clean up of the worksite. The stump grinder came 5 days later. Did a great job too. A few days later Shane’s crew showed up again to smoothen out the landscape. All I have to do is spreed some seed or have another tree planted."

"Very personable, respectful, fair. He did not want to be paid until the job was completed and cleaned up, which was done very well. They were very professional. We will call them again if we have any arbor needs in the future."

"Ray's work was excellent. He and his two other team members were very professional and did an excellent job with our tree trimming needs. They were also most willing to add taking down another tree that we had not even contracted to do. Ray and his team cleaned up all of the mess after taking down the limbs and tree. We were extremely pleased with his work."

"If I could give Alex a 6 star score I would. We were very satisfied with the job that he did repairing our concrete porch. He explained everything in detail and did what he said he was going to do. I would highly recommend Alex."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.
