"I hired grind pros to remove a stump in my front yard. It's a small front yard with a LARGE maple tree that had been an eye sore for years. Justin got it out of there in an afternoon with ease. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend grind pros for stump removal services."

"It is always a pleasure to work with true professionals. Jeremiah and his crew were just that. He knows a lot about trees (he is a certified arborist---not all tree trimmers are) and answered all my questions, submitted an estimate promptly, showed up when he said he would, and cleaned up afterwards. I will certainly call Top Notch again when I need any tree work done."

"The two gentlemen worked nonstop throughout the day to remove our diseased trees and to trim many trees that had been damaged by previous storms and were overgrown and damaging other trees in our yard. They shredded and mulched all of the branches and cut the pieces that we wanted to keep into appropriate sizes so that we could manage them. They did a thorough job of raking and cleaning up our property before they left. They truly did an excellent job and I would not hesitate to hire them again. thank you to Shane and Robert for a job well done! Truly deserving of a five star review!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

The average lifespan of an oak tree is 100 to 300 years, so long as it isn’t impacted by diseases like sudden oak death. Some species will last shorter or longer, depending on where you live.

A tree branch should start to form roots in about three months. It can take about a year for a tree branch to develop roots strong enough to go in the ground. For best results, start several branches because, no matter how closely you follow instructions, they won’t all form roots. Compost any that aren’t thriving.

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall. 

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.
