"Barker's has an experienced crew, including an arborist, and Steve and his crew (three) always asked me which larger branches I was comfortable or interested in removing. While I wasn't looking for the cheapest job price, it was competitive. Only one minor issue, was filling a hole in the trunk - it seeped out. Update 7-10-2018: the tree trunk hole wouldn't hold the foam filler, ants had infested the three combined tree trunks, so the tree was cut down. The price for the 40 ft maple with three trunks was reasonable; our only concern is the heavy lawn wear from the 4-wheel skid steerer used to haul the big branches and trunk sections from the back yard to the street, so the grass needs to recover. The stump grinding is still pending. Update 9-26-2018: grinding of two tree stumps was completed by Barker's on 8/28/18. Lawn repairs (sod/overseeding and fertilizer applications) have been made by the homeowner in mid-September for areas where tree removal and stump grinding was performed."

"I am happy to recommend this company. They responded to my HomeAdvisor call immediately with an in-person estimate, then removed and shredded some overgrown shrubs at a reasonable price. While they were there, I hired them again to take down a very tall walnut tree, which they were able to do using a climber and a bucket truck. Bobby W., the owner, is very experienced on all the equipment, and will also be doing some grading and dirt work for us with his Bobcat. His crew did a great job of cleaning up, and were professional and polite. I appreciate being able to hire a local, family-owned business ."

"H&B was working at our neighbors' doing some tree trimming. I asked them to come take a look and give us a quote. They gave us a very reasonable quote immediately and were able to start work as soon as our neighbor's job was done. The crew and owner were very personable and excellent to work with. They cleaned up trees, brush and flowerbeds around our entire house and left everything nice and clean. We are very pleased with their work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

It may not be worth it to rake every leaf in your yard, but it’s necessary to remove the majority of leaves to prevent them from smothering grass growth on your lawn. However, raking leaves isn’t your only option for leaf removal. You can remove leaves easily with a leaf blower or compost or mulch them with your lawn mower to repurpose them to help grow your garden or yard.

Since overwatering can harm mature trees just as much as a lack of water, it’s important to know the signs of an overwatered tree. If your tree’s leaves are yellowing, wilting, or dropping leaves, it’s likely that you’re overwatering. Other common signs include rotting, fungi, soggy soil, soft or peeling bark, falling leaves, and brittle roots. 

If you realize that you’ve been overwatering your mature tree, stop watering and give the soil time to dry out. Then moving forward, increase time between watering sessions. 

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.
