Blackmore Property Services is a locally owned and operated landscaping and property services company based right here in Bozeman, MT. I’m Bodin, the founder — I started this business because I saw a gap in reliable, professional outdoor services done by someone who actually cares about the quality of their work and their reputation in the community.\n\nWe specialize in landscape rock installation, debris hauling, junk removal, property cleanup, and ongoing property maintenance. Whether you need a full rock bed renovation, a seasonal cleanup, or a dependable maintenance partner, we show up on time, communicate clearly, and leave your property looking better than we found it.\n\nOur crew is small by design — that means you’re always getting experienced hands on the job, not whoever’s available that week. We’re fully insured with general liability and workers’ compensation coverage, so you can hire with confidence.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

Bradford pear trees bloom in early spring with small white flowers. They typically flower for at least two weeks. In bloom, these trees often emit a foul-smelling odor that’s often compared to rotting fish. Bradford pear trees will sometimes bloom in the fall due to drought or other stress-inducing conditions. 

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear).
