"Troy did an excellent job trimming multiple trees in our yard. He was open to our suggestion and also guided us on the attributes of different types of trees. On completion of the task Troy raked and cleaned the yard as if he was working on his property. Job well done."

"Did a good job. Needed one, of two, stumps ground down. Because it took less than his estimated time he did the other one too. The only thing I didn't like is his equipment tore up some of my yard. But yes, I would recommend him."

"Brett was a very pleasant man to work with. He listened to my suggestions and offered his professional opinion on other branches to take down. He was very careful in the trimming he did so as not to damage any property. His rates were very good. My property looks so much nicer now with all the dead branches he cut down for me. I would definitely recommend his services to others. Thanks Brettð ð"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

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.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.
