"Bladimir Tree Service is the best in the business for my money. This is the second time I've called on them for help and they were prompt, reliable, and very professional. I had a hundred plus year old tree that was about to fall on my house due to recent rains we'd been getting. I called Bladimir and he responded that same day and made arrangements to come out and get the job done. Me and my wife are so grateful for the great work he and his team performed for us, twice. They quoted us a very reasonably priced also. He'll definitely be my first call for any future needs. Thanks again Bladimir."

"Alex came out on a Sunday to give us a quote. The quote was half of what we had received from another company. They were out within the week. Completed exactly what we had talked about. They even cut and stacked some of the bigger pieces for firewood for us! The yard was left clean. If you have tree work needing to be done - I definitely recommend reaching out to them."

"I highly recommend this tree removal company! They were professional, punctual, and extremely hardworking from start to finish. The crew worked safely and efficiently, and the quality of their work exceeded my expectations. They took great care of my property, cleaned up everything before leaving, and made sure the job was done right. Their communication was excellent, the pricing was fair, and they were honest and reliable throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, skilled, and truly cares about customer satisfaction, this is the company to call. I will definitely use their services again!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Before Stump Brothers, I had SO much trouble trying to get anyone to even consider my apple tree removal. Josh reached out with a quote within the first 10 minutes it was requested and was able to get me on the schedule within the week! He gave a variety of convenient payment options and he was reliably communicative. Randall came out to do the project, and my goodness, the man is both a beast with a chain saw and a delicate ballerina. Those tree limbs were floating to the ground; this man is an artist. He had the whole thing done and cleaned up faster than my comforter could finish it’s wash cycle. I 100% recommend"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Pruning a tree is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Since overwatering can harm mature trees just as much as a lack of water, it’s important to know the signs of an overwatered tree. If your tree’s leaves are yellowing, wilting, or dropping leaves, it’s likely that you’re overwatering. Other common signs include rotting, fungi, soggy soil, soft or peeling bark, falling leaves, and brittle roots. 

If you realize that you’ve been overwatering your mature tree, stop watering and give the soil time to dry out. Then moving forward, increase time between watering sessions. 

The best plan of action for an unhealthy or unsafe tree will depend on its condition. An arborist can recommend whether trimming or removal is the right call for your tree. Preventive tree trimming can keep trees safe and healthy, so make regular tree trimming a part of your yard maintenance plan.

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.
