"I cannot recommend Arbor Barber enough!! When the City told us we needed to remove 3 ash trees within a month we stressed about the cost. Arbor Barber pricing was well below other estimates. They were able to get us in well before the deadline. The crew worked fast and efficiently, and could not have been more pleasant. They even trimmed some additional trees when they were out here. We are so happy with the work and the price. We will definitely use again."

"After years of inconsistent and unsuccessful DIY lawn care, I decided to bring in the experts. Their fertilizer is custom mixed for our area and it proves to be worth every penny as my lawn looks new again. I will continue to use Total Turf for my lawn care, landscaping, and snow removal needs going forward and recommend them to anyone looking for the same"

"We start work at 6:00 am and have had problems with previous snow plowers getting the parking lot clear early enough. J&J All Seasons has it ready on time and is done very well."

"Dwight and his team at Arbor Tree & Lawn Services completely transformed my rental property. After nearly 15 years of tenant occupancy, the landscaping was severely overgrown and the house had almost disappeared behind trees and bushes. Dwight brought a vision, incredible knowledge, and a hardworking team. They trimmed trees, reshaped shrubs, rebuilt landscape beds, installed fresh mulch, planted flowers, and added beautiful boulders that made the property look like a model home. Neighbors constantly ask who did the work, and my wife says the landscaping now looks better than our own home. Dwight is professional, honest, resourceful, and goes far beyond what is expected. I have no doubt his work increased the value of my property. Highly recommended."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.

Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.
