"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."

"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

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000 per tree, depending on size, location, and accessibility.

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

Transplanting a palm tree is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn’t need to be as large as a “true” tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it’s important to give them extra support when staking.
