"I needed 2 trees cut down because I was concerned they would fall on my house or the neighbors. He was on time, was very calm and patient with one of my neighbors. The trees were cut down and all the debris cleaned up. He even cut up the large tree that was still lying in my yard and stacked the logs. He and his crew were great and I would highly recommend him!"

"The first time I called him, Jim showed up in 20 minutes on a Sunday afternoon! He came to unplug the sink due to a clogged garbage disposal, which only took about 10 minutes. Since he charged by the hour, he actually asked if there was anything else he could do! I've never had any other contractor ever offer that. After that day, I had him come back to take out the garbage disposal completely and install a new sink. Jim does a beautiful job and is an extremely efficient worker. He wastes no time and can truly do it all when it comes to handywork. He is super personable and an all-around nice guy."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Most trees can be successfully transplanted while they are young, but pines, walnuts, and some oak tree varieties are more difficult to move because their root systems grow deeper than most other trees. Also, trees adapted to sandy soil with wide root systems like beeches, willows, and aspens are harder to dig out because their roots spread much farther out from the trunk. In these cases, unless the trees are very young and small, it’s a good idea to consult a tree planting professional.

Trees aren't big fans of moving, and they do go into shock during a transplant. Although most carefully thought-out tree transplants see the tree recover from the shock just fine, there is always a risk of having an unsuccessful move. Proper preparation, timing, and diligent aftercare are crucial to minimize the risks when transplanting a tree.

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

Yes, it’s possible to overwater a newly-planted tree. Daily watering is great for the first few weeks, but it’s important not to go overboard. Excessive watering can lead to various problems, including root rot, fungal diseases, and a lack of root development.
