"Jesse and his wife own this company. They work in partnership as a perfectly oiled machine. Mrs. Astorino contacted us very quickly after I made a bid request, was very professional as well as friendly. She even thanked us for the opportunity to bid our job! Wow! You dont run into that appreciative attitude very often! Jesses primary assistant is Ben who did a large part of the actual labor of tree trimming, tree removal and stump grinding. Ben is also really great to work with and friendly! Jesse was on top of coordinating every aspect of our large project and completed everything at our two residential job sites in very quick order. He was even able to schedule everything very quickly after giving us his bids. All phases of the work commenced with a minimum of energy expenditure on our part. Exactly what a homeowner with a cumbersome tree problem wishes for! We were also very satisfied with the pricing that AstorinosTree Service offered us!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Peach trees don’t tend to live as long as other types of trees and crops. They tend to last only about 12 years, and you shouldn’t expect to see a full peach harvest each of those years, either. Young peach trees need a few years to get established before they produce fruit, but you should have plenty of peaches for your pies and cobblers during their mature years, around years four through eight.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.

Tree roots don’t necessarily break through concrete on their own, but they can certainly take advantage of existing cracks, even very small ones. As roots grow, they expand the cracks, making them larger and leading to serious and costly foundation damage. It’s a good idea to have repairs on any foundation cracks you’re concerned about.
