"Joshua and his crew took down a large tree for me and did an excellent job. They were on time and gave me fair price. The clean up was fantastic. I would recommend JPs Lawn & Tree to anyone looking for a good tree service to complete their project. Would give them 10 stars if I could."

"This company is the best I've ever used. Workers that know how to WORK. Their start time was 8:00am and they were here at 8:02. I had very tall tree but they know what they were doing and was able able to finish (after tree cutting ,triming and grinding at 3:30 pm ! They will be my tree company forever. Great guys like Vincent and grinder George was outstanding, they listen to what I needed and did everything that had to be done. Clean up was fast and great! They have the right equipment and people to hand it all. My hats off to All Green! Great job and worth every penny. Thanks again Guys. Les J, Browns Summit,NC"

"LTE was very professional in their attitude and in completing the contracted job. They were quick efficient and cleaned up after themselves. If you didn't miss the tree - you wouldn't know they had been there. I would hire them again if the occasion arose."

"I can’t thank Ethan enough for his exceptional work! We initially called him to address a troublesome sinkhole in our yard, and Ethan handled it with such professionalism and expertise that we knew we had to bring him back for another project. Sure enough, when it came time to build a patio, Ethan delivered beyond expectations once again. His attention to detail, craftsmanship, and dedication to making sure everything was perfect truly set him apart. Now we not only have a safe, well-managed yard but also a beautiful patio where we can spend time with family and friends. If you’re looking for someone who combines skill, reliability, and genuine care for their work, I highly recommend Ethan"

Customers say: Quick response

"Very pleased with Hawks Transportation. I hired them to demolish a large garage on my property. He also demolished a house for us at another location. Everything was handled very professionally. Travis was wonderful to work with. He did everything he promised to do in the timeframe that I needed. He under promised and over delivered!!! Would definitely recommend and hire again if needed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an “Angi Approved” badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.

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.

Tree trimming can count as landscaping, depending on how a landscaping business describes its services. Professional tree trimmers are more specialized than landscapers and offer trimming services separately from general landscaping.

When general landscaping companies offer tree trimming, look up the details. They usually mean shaping or seasonal trimming of ornamental trees, which is different from trimming larger trees for health or safety reasons. When possible, look for a licensed expert that specializes in trees and tree health.

The Christmas tree type that smells the best to you will ultimately depend on personal preference. But if that classic Christmas tree smell is important to you, choosing a type of tree known for its scent is a safe bet. Try a balsam fir for a spicy, comforting scent or a Douglas fir for a sweeter smell. You may also like Fraser firs, Scotch pines, and blue spruces.
