"The job required digging up a lot of invasive plants under a large oak tree in clay soil. We had to dig 4 to 6 inches down. The work was done well. He was very friendly. We just had some problems with scheduling. Other than that great help."

"We had to have two pine trees cut. One in the front yard and a really big one in the back. They did an amazing job. And made sure that the yard was cleaned up afterwards. They are very friendly and professional. Would very much recommend them!"

"I had a MASSIVE tree that was "V" shaped in my front yard. I was made aware of the fact that it was beginning to split in the middle and the heavy side was leaning toward my house. I found Landworx LLC on Angie's list last night. I began to communicate with Matt Riley and expressed the urgency of the situation bc this tree would have absolutely destroyed my home if/when it fell. Matt was at my home this morning at 6am and had a crew there by mid morning today. They worked tirelessly all day long to safely remove the tree, haul it off, clean up debris, and eliminate the threat to my house. He provided me with insurance and licensure verification without any hesitation. I sincerely cannot thank them enough! Great people to work with at very fair price points and he absolutely does what he says he will do. Highly recommend! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years. 

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.
