"Fabulous work! I appreciated that I was consulted throughout the tree trimming process. He was very attentive to my opinions and did not get upset when I asked to have a few more branches removed and added a few more trees to be trimmed out. My lakeview is restored! I will hire Milk's again in a few years when the new growth again tries to steal my view!"

"Their price was the lowest for removing large tree and grinding stump. The tree was next to the property line with my neighbor. They did an excellent job of not dropping branches on his property. They did a great job of clean up and I would highly recommend."

"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."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, it’s possible to overwater a newly-planted tree. Daily watering is great for the first few weeks, but it’s important not to go overboard. Excessive watering can lead to various problems, including root rot, fungal diseases, and a lack of root development.

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.
