"Excellent and honest work. Sethâ s crew took down 2 very tall dead trees for me and charged a fair price. Even trimmed a third tree for no charge. Put plywood down on my lawn to keep the heavy machinery from tearing it up. Cleaned up so well that there wasnâ t even a twig left on the lawn or the street. So glad I hired them."

"I was so pleased with this tree service. In addition to removing 2 trees, 3 stumps were grinded. A tree was trimmed in the front yard; they even trimmed our hedge. A large pile of brush and limbs was removed from our backyard. They left the property looking much better than it did when they arrived. I would most definitely recommend these professionals for any tree work you need to have done. Thank you so much."

"My daughter and her husband bought their first home and wanted to remove some trees for creating a yard and garden space. I took out the one that a large ladder could reach and cleared the fence of a LOT of brush. I piled this in the center of the backyard and looked at the tree, soft maple, that remained. I couldn't reach the branches and theorized about cutting steps into the trunk to achieve the goal. My daughter was not fond of my ideas. I was very happy to see that JC Garay and his crew were very prompt in getting the tree out as well as the MOUNTAIN of debris that I left. It is so glad to see professionalism is alive and well. Thank you!"

"From initial request for quotation to job completion, this company has been knowledgeable, responsive and professional. A full-day job in sweltering heat was completed thoroughly by a hard-working crew with great attention to detail, including complete clean-up. The owner is great to work with - friendly, good knowledge and referrals for items he doesnâ t specialize in (pests in large ash tree), and positive attitude. Highest recommendation."

"ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! That says it all with regards to Anthony and Ward Tree Care. They were on time and did an incredible job on my trees and a very large bush. They bid the job so reasonably but even if they were higher than others I still would have chosen them because of the time Anthony spent with me explaining everything he would do and giving advice about caring for my trees. The crew was wonderful too. They were kind, respectful and could not have done a better job. One of my trees had a lot of dead in it and they were able to get all of it out and told me what to do to help it thicken up. When they finished there wasn't a leaf or twig on the ground. They meticulous cleaned up everything. My neighbor, who recently retired from a lawn and landscaping company that did tree service too came out and commented on how amazing of a job they did and asked Anthony for a bid right then to do his trees. I HIGHLY recommend Ward Tree Care!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Usually, trees cannot grow back after their stump has been ground, but some very hearty types of trees can. For example, if you have a black locust or Redford pear, the grinding will need to go deep to prevent them from growing back. Ask your tree service or stump removal expert whether your tree can resprout after its stump is ground down.

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.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years.
