""I highly recommend Bobby from 'Stump Guys' for any outdoor project. From the very start, his pricing was completely fair and transparent with no hidden surprises. He showed up exactly when he said he would, which is hard to find these days.Bobby went above and beyond the basic job requirements. He was incredibly conscientious about my property, taking extra care not to leave a mess and ensuring everything looked spotless before he left. His professionalism, communication, and work ethic are top-notch. I will absolutely use his services again!""

"I hired Ziembaâ s landscaping and tree service for removal of 10 trees. I knew it would be expensive and have been putting it off. When Mr. Ziemba came out to do a free estamite I was very surprised that the price was very affordable. He came out the same week and removed all 10 trees in one day. He and his crew were very respectful and went above and beyond to make sure the trees were removed safely and efficiently. Once the trees were down, he cleaned up all the brush and wood leaving my yard looking flawless. I will definitely be using his services again and highly recommend his company!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease. 

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.
