"Wow! My friend recommended Brandt's Lawn Care to me so I gave them a call. I already had spoken with two other companies, but I decided to give these guys a call anyway. I'm so glad I did. They were quick to come over and give me an estimate. When I met them, they were super nice and very knowledgeable Arborists. He gave me a quote on the spot and was able to schedule me within days! This is not how it went with the other two companies. When they arrived, they were very careful around my landscaping and stopped cutting for my wife to walk in and out of the house for lunch. These guys communicated well and frankly, did a better job than I was anticipating. In fact, my neighbors have already commented on their work and one of them hired them to do work for them. These guys are true professionals and a step above the rest. Anyone that is familiar with the Lake of the Ozark region, knows how hard it is to hire someone and then actually get quality and timely work done from them. Brandt's Lawn Car is amazing! This was truly the best encounter I have had since living here. I've served in the Army for over 20 years and have owned a number of properties that needed tree work completed. These guys are the best I've seen. Call them. I guarantee you will be happy you did. Ralph Haney"

"My tree was trimmed off the roof of my house the way I wanted , I had an added request of trimming limbs off my fence on the same tree and he took care of those while he was there as well. The brush and leaves were cleaned and raked, my yard looked the way it did before he got there. I would definitely use this tree service again and recommend to all friends."

"A B&B representative contacted me within minutes after sending a request on Home Advisors. An appraiser came to look at my project the next morning. To my surprise, they were available to do my job the following day. It required climbing two trees. One ash needed to be taken down in pieces to save smaller trees growing around it and the other, a large oak, needed dead wood removed . The crew worked very quickly and efficiently and cleaned up the site well. After reading comments from others, it seems to me that B&B is able to schedule and carry out their work more quickly than some other tree services."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don’t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

Many consider the Fraser fir to be the most popular type of Christmas tree, but which type of tree sells out near you can depend on region and decorating trends that year. For example, the Leyland cypress is especially popular in the Southeast, according to the National Christmas Tree Association.

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.
