"They arrived on time with a full crew and all of the necessary equipment. They removed 7 trees with stump grinding as well as pruned other areas. This is the second time I have used them. Excellent service both times."

"ZR did a great job on our flagstone patio and walkway, rock beds, retaining wall, mulch beds and yard grading. The entire team was professional, listened to any concerns or questions, and remained agile to any changes we wanted. I would recommend them to anyone in the market for landscaping or hardscaping work."

"I contacted Angie’s list on a Saturday and Sunday morning he arrived with his crew. He designed a waterfall and pond in my yard that desperately needed help. The price was reasonable and included all the supplies. He was very friendly and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks so much! I highly recommend and would hire him again for landscaping."

"Wonderful work! The job that Hunter, Hayden and Cory did on a few hours would have taken my husband and me several weekends to complete. The attention to detail was fantastic. We will definitely be calling on APM's services again!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines. 

Dead tree branches should be removed, because they can cause the tree to lose nutrients. They can also make the tree more susceptible to disease and pests. Removing dead and diseased branches can help the tree recover and increase the odds of saving a dying tree. Make sure to prune the tree correctly to avoid damaging it further.

If you don’t stake a tree that needs support, it could be at greater risk of being damaged or failing completely, whether it uproots or falls over. That could cause damage to your property or other surrounding trees. If you want to grow healthy trees, you may need to stake them for best results.

Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.

You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.
