"Really well. They used their bucket to reach branches over my garage and climbed the tree to bring it down in relatively small pieces. The crew each new what to do at any given time and were great about cleaning the lawn as they went. They ground up the branches and hauled away large blocks of tree trunk and branches. I was really pleased with their skill and professionalism and will hire them again in a minute should the need arise. They also trimmed off dead branches on a large pine tree."

"Bob came out immediately upon request and gave me a very reasonable quote on landscaping and rebuilding my backyard pond with fountain. He sent Josh and Caleb to do the job in one day! Josh and Caleb were gracious, extremely professional, and did an excellent job. I have already committed to hiring them for more landscaping services. In fact, I will never hire anyone else. Iâ m an older woman who lives alone so having someone I can trust is imperative. Josh and Caleb were not only accommodating of my requests, they were fun and while being efficient. They were delightful to work with!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

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. 

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.
