Customers say: True professional

"I originally met Francisco through his brother Mendoza Tree Expert. He started off taking care of my yard and then redid our stairs going up the side of our house. It was beautiful and a huge upgrade from railroad ties. He basically knew someone who could help on any project. They rebuilt our front and back deck. They removed and replaced all the damaged wood on our house then painted it. The entire outside of the house was in terrible shape and they were so awesome. We had another contractor start the basement renovation then disappear. Francisco stepped in and he and his cousin who does bathrooms and floors finished the entire basement and it looked amazing. One of the kindest humans on earth. I have actually paid him to help me in Gainesville Georgia because I trust him so much. He is a friend."

"Summit Land Development and Scott Lewis did an excellent job on our fill and grading project despite having a couple of challenges with local providers of fill. What was key was excellent communication and always having an option available to stay on schedule and budget. I would highly recommend Scott and his crew without any reservations. If you have a challenging project and need a skilled team then Summit Land Development is your team!"

"I had 2 very large dead trees near the house I needed cut down. They had to fall in a direction so as not to hit the house or fall on my neighbors property. Connor brought them down quickly and with them fallen where we had agreed they were safe to fall. His prices are very reasonable and he is very professional. I would recommend him for any tree work."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can hire professionals to move a tree. Arborists and tree transplanting companies specialize in this type of work and use equipment like hydraulic tree spades to safely extract and relocate trees with their root balls intact. Since tree moving is a complex process, especially for larger trees, it’s best left to experts who understand how to protect the tree’s health and ensure the safety of everyone involved.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

Your local government is usually in charge of pruning trees on public property, and the power company is responsible for trees near power lines (even if they’re on your property). Whether or not they top these trees depends on their approach to pruning. You won’t be able to do much to control this, but you can contact them to find out more about their pruning process.

Trees naturally want to grow upward, so one may straighten all by itself, though this only comes into play when a tree is leaning just a small amount. For trees growing into an awkward position or those leaning heavily in one direction, the above steps are necessary to ensure the tree gets back on the right path. This also holds true for trees planted in a spot with unstable soil.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.
