"D&B Tree Service are great! They came out and took care of some branches over my garage and house, cleaned moss off the garage, and did a few repairs to the house and garage roofs. Beyond that, they've got a team with various home renovation and repair experience, so I had them over for about a week fixing a rental unit I just bought. They're good people and do great work!"

"Adam and his team were very good. Clean, timely, professional. They did what they said they would do and checked with us when something wasnâ t clear. I would highly recommend them and I plan to hire them for more work in the near future. We need more providers like the team from Better Lawns and Landscaping! They did a beautiful fire pit with a big locked paver circle around it and they made a couple of new garden areas for us and change things that weâ re high maintenance into things that are now low maintenance."

"Update to last review: Peter & I finally were able to sit & talk about job. We both listened to each other & solved what got off base & how to correct it. Work is finished & beautiful- I couldn’t be happier & more proud how everyone sees my yards now- both front & back yards. Now I look forward to seeing my Rock Garden - which is quite large, come to life under their care next spring 2026. Some of my neighbors are evening borrowing some of our ideas- such a compliment. So be an “influencer “ & use Beckers Lawncare & Lanscaping- get the right one!! I’d posted picture but site wouldn’t accept them for some technical reason I’m sure 😁"

"I had a huge tree fall in my front yard, and Belle Boy Snow Plowing Service came through for me! They gave me an amazing price—literally almost half of what other companies were charging—and still did an incredible job. They cleaned everything up so well, no stubs or mess left behind, and got it done quickly. On top of that, they were very professional and really knew what they were doing. I would definitely recommend them and will be using them again if I ever need to!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.

All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it’s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate.

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.
