"They were very professional and efficient. It was a large lot around a house with lots of tree and shrub stumps. It was done quickly, they cleaned up and were on their way. I received an email later with an invoice and a link to pay online! Very easy and convenient!"

"Brian called first in the morning. He came out in the afternoon to do the quote. I had approximately 10 stumps of different sizes that needed to be removed. There were also landscaping rocks that needed to be moved to access the spots. He moved them for me and did a great job removing the stumps. He was very detailed in describing what was to be done and after finishing the job, he said if there were any issues to please contact him so he can make it right. Very professional!"

"Jeremy and team did an excellent job. Professional, easy to work with, and knowledgeable. We had tree trimming performed at our home in Manitou Beach, MI. on two (2) large trees. We had to have many large branches/limbs removed that hung over the house and deck, with some over electrical wires coming to the house. They were careful and sensitive to the tight working conditions between our house and the neighbors house. Jeremy cleaned up the yard and chipped up all the trimmings. I would highly recommend Milks Tree Service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

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.

While the trees in your backyard are good for the environment and look beautiful, they could present a danger to your home under the wrong circumstances. This task is typically beyond the capabilities of the average homeowner due to its dangerous nature, so it’s best to leave this task to a professional. In some cities, it’s even illegal to remove a tree yourself.

In most ways, palm trees are incredibly low-maintenance. They don’t need a ton of water—which is why they’re so beloved in desert regions—and they basically prune themselves. But they do need an ample supply of sunlight and to be in soil that will allow for proper drainage so that their roots don’t become waterlogged and at risk of developing illnesses.

If the plant begins to wilt, develop spots, or change color, these could all be signs that your palm tree has a disease. But a few basic treatments, like pruning and applying fungicide, will usually be more than enough to return it to perfect health.

A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don’t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project.  

You can often tell if a tree is grafted because it will have a noticeable line. Above the line, the bark will look different than it does below the line. It’s most common with fruit trees.
