"I highly recommend Bladimir Tree Service the work he and his crew provided my family in Lathrup Village. Bladimir responded to my RFQ for multiple tree removals and stump grinding. The quote was provided very timely and was reasonable for the level of work required. One tree was over 60' tall with huge branches, while the other 2 were large overgrown cedar trees. The team showed up punctually and with all their equipment in tow, and after review of the plan, immediately started to work. I did not need to supervise or micro manage, the work was preformed efficiently, safely, and orderly. The cleanup was marvelously done, and grinding was to specification. No complaints, only praise and kudos for this hard working crew. I absolutely would hire Bladimir should I need future tree services."

"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 and his crew responded to my request immediately and got the job done within a couple hours. They were already working in the neighborhood. They cut down a huge oak tree including grinding the stump and cleanups. Cost less than the rest. I absolutely recommend them."

"loved everything! The owner, Ted, is amazing! He is honest and will do his best to give you a good price. I had two other quotes to have my mom's tree removed. And the others could not even come close to his price. After he gave me a quote for the tree and other trimming, another tree had fallen down. The price he gave me for 2 trees and trimming was the same price the other companies gave me for 1 tree and no trimming. He is very easy to work with and is very accommodating. Another thing that struck me is that he will not accept payment until the stumps are removed. I have never seen this before! I will not go to anyone else but Ted!!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). 

Your local government is usually in charge of pruning trees on public property, and the power company is responsible for trees near power lines (even if they’re on your property). Whether or not they top these trees depends on their approach to pruning. You won’t be able to do much to control this, but you can contact them to find out more about their pruning process.

No, you cannot throw branches from your neighbor’s tree back into their yard, nor can you discard leaves or other plant matter that originated from their yard back over there if it happens to land in your yard. You are responsible for cleaning up plant matter that made its way into your yard.

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.
