"We had a tree problem. I left messages with 5 services and Alex connected me within minutes and came the same day to look. He said he would come tomorrow (October 26, 2023) to take care of it. We are in the midst of a winter storm warning so I thought I wouldnâ t see him until spring if lucky. Well he sure did show up during the storm and tackled that tree! He said we could watch him work if we wanted to ensure he did a professional job. We didnà ¢à  à  t because we were confident in his abilities, but I did look out now and then because I was concerned for him! He was very methodic on how he approached the tree to avoid disturbing the neighbors yard or damaging ours. He was very reasonably priced and did an exceptional job with clean up especially fighting the snow! And none of the other services have contacted us yet! We highly highly highly recommend Alex. 10 stars out 5!"

The work took 5 days and was most demanding on their part. Considering all they had 31 years of neglect in the grove stand.  I am pleased with the result.  I imagine an additional charge would completely clean up the remainder of the grounds, but with limited funds I had available, I could not expect more.  Over all the price was reasonable and work done promptly with attention to hauling away many truck loads of branches.

"Lee from Rabbithead was great! He was able to take our ideas, requests, likes, dislikes and put them into a design for our new kitchen. It turned out better than we expected, and on budget. We will definitely be calling them first for any future remodel or construction needs! Thanks Lee!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.

If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:

  • Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.

  • Support businesses that plant trees. 

  • Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.

  • Donate to a tree-planting charity.
