"Great service and lovely guy (owner Pauly). They were prompt, good equipment, worked with me to get the correct length of yard (this is a new home for me). I had mentioned I had a small project to remove a loose garden fence and they did that while here, mowed there, as well ...all for a fair amount. They have my long term business! EXCELLENT!"

"Best tree service this side of the Carolina's. There's no way I would use any other tree service, he's professional, and you can tell he re-invests into himself and his company by his expertise and professional equipment. Truly a dedicated man. 10/10"

Customers say: Quick response

"My home was in need of gutter cleaning and exterior cleaning/power-wash. I found Adam and Perfect Lawn and Home through an online search that led me here to his HomeAdvisor profile. When I saw all of the reviews and positive words, I decided to give him a call. He was professional, easy to work with, on time for the estimate, gave a fair quote for the work, showed up on the day and time agreed upon, and did an outstanding job! Very thorough, professional, flexible and respectful. No shortcuts. The place looks amazing from the tip of the roof to the bottom of the foundation! Really a pleasure and rare to find a contractor around here that does what they say (and then some), shows up when they say they will, and performs quality work. Well worth it. Adam goes to the top of my list now for future needs."

"I have used WCR Hauling on several occasion. The young man, Wade, that has come to my house is prompt and hard working. WCR hauled away a bunch of items that I just didn't know how to get rid of. They did it quickly, cleanly, and their prices were very fair. Especially when you consider that he had to take my stuff to a dump and cover those prices. I would highly recommend them without hesitation."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

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.

Burning a tree stump can be effective, but it comes with safety considerations and isn’t always best for every situation. It's essential to check local regulations and assess the safety risks involved. Stumps that are near wooden structures or other non-moveable flammable objects aren’t good candidates for burning due to the risk of the fire spreading. Alternatives like grinding or a DIY stump rotting project might be safer and quicker for getting the job done.

Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. 

If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you’ll have to dig quite deep—and perhaps wide—to trim away all the roots.

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.
