"Great. Their initial time frame was long (they were scheduling up to two months out), but I mentioned I was hoping for sooner. When, four weeks in, they had a sudden opening, due to a job in my neighborhood finishing early, they called to arrange and were there within an hour. Late notice meant I could not be home, but the arborist reassured me by speaking with me on the phone. The tree pruning was smart and sensitive. When I expressed some disappointment with underprunung on a big shrub, the arborist arranged to come back to fix it the following week. Super responsive, willing to explain recommendations."

"

I called and he came out and give estimate. We called him back set date for removal. They came right on time. Did what we wanted done at the price he said, Did a nice job and did it right. We will hire him back when we need more tree work  done. He recycles all the wood and wood chips. Very nice and easy person to deal with. He is a pro, knows what he is doing so no worries about damage to house and barn.

"Dayton was Absolutely Awesome to work to with! I will be honest and say I stumbled across him after spending hours on the internet & phone speaking with very well known companies, but with also very rude customer service! After an exhausting day of getting no where, Dayton had replied to one of my many online quotes for tree removal I had requested and he came out the very next day! He was polite, he was punctual, he had great communication and the work he provided was beyond excellent! I also canâ t say enough about the meticulous cleanup job that he did. I was concerned there was going to be quite a mess because we do have a dog, but he did AMAZING!! He also recommended some trees we could plant in the spring, so we are also going to have him come back out to help us plant more trees to replace the ones he had to take down."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The shepherd’s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over 230 feet deep. Some African communities refer to it as the “Tree of Life” since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.

While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of interfering with overhead power lines. It’s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it’s essential to ensure your tree isn’t in danger of growing too close to them.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. 

The speed of your tree root removal process depends on a few different factors, including the size and type of tree. However, the fastest method of killing tree roots is applying chemical herbicide, which starts working quickly and efficiently. But this removal method has its drawbacks, such as having a negative effect on the surrounding vegetation and landscaping. Other options like rock salt and stump grinding work relatively quickly and cause less damage to your yard.
