"My neighbor came over and hired them that very evening to pull a small, dying tree from their yard. I think, after they saw the work that they did for us, they were impressed enough to come over and ask to get their job done."

"The men at Home Time Construction were very professional and approachable. Their attention to detail was great. The top wood was replaced and the rest of the porch was painted on the bigger porch. The smaller porch was sanded and painted. I would definitely hire them again."

"I reached out to him on a Sunday evening for a quote and within 24 hrs he was at my home and we talked about what was priority and what could wait for next spring. We scheduled the tree removal for 2 days later and when he arrived, he got the job done in less than an hour. His prices were affordable and we spoke about him coming back to remove a larger tree and several stumps. I’ll be sure to recommend him to those I know that’s looking to have trees removed"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

It will take you anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours per tree stump to grind and remove the stump from the ground. The larger the size, the longer it will take to remove the stump. Also, keep in mind that rocky soil may require local excavation services to loosen up large boulders before you can begin to remove the tree stump.

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.
