"Ron yoder one of the owners of the natrual state landscaping and curbing went into partnership with Keeton Lefgren and committed timber theft on my property, using the natrual state equipment and trucks to haul my timber, fully knowing this man had a felony for timber theft once before! We had never been paid, they damaged the land, dropping a large cedar on the septic tank and busting it, as well as stripped the value of the trees, depreciated the value of the timber and left trees fallen, cut wrong and worthless. They never took them to a sawmill, no invoices, no payment. This company, Ron Yoder, keeton lofgren and John raped our land and caused detrimental damages to our property and family FULLY AWARE they were working with a serial con man who has over 10 CRIMINAL AND CIVIL CASES AGAINST HIM!

We are a full service lawn service company that will provide you with the best quality service of all your lawn care needs.

"Omar was very nice. He was professional and on time. I feel like he gave us a fair price and did all the work he said he would so we were satisfied. The only slightly negative thing was the work ended up being done on a drizzly day. That resulted in him not being able to clean up all the soggy grass/lawn shavings and we had a bit of mud spread around in the driveway. I would have preferred to reschedule but he still did a great job and we would hire him again."

Leaf Removal questions, answered by experts

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall. 

You kill ivy permanently by cutting it at the root and applying herbicide. You can also tear out ivy at the roots to remove it and apply herbicide as an extra measure. Covering the area with at least two inches thick of mulch or leaves can prevent future growth. Watch the area for any regrowth and kill regrowth immediately.

Stump grinding leaves the stump and roots below the grinding depth intact, though they will gradually decay over the next decade. You can grow plants with shallow roots, such as grass, over the remaining pieces of your now-deceased tree. However, you should wait until they fully decay to plant anything with a larger root system.

In extreme cases, cutting a tree’s roots can cause it to eventually fall if the roots that were trimmed affect the tree’s structure and stability. If you make severe cuts to roots that are more than 2 inches in diameter, you run the risk of affecting the tree’s water flow as well as its ability to withstand severe winds or storms that could cause it to fall.
