"Super pleasant to work with. They cut down roughly 30 trees for me and stump grinded them out, hauled everything away. They did a fabulous job making sure to clean up after and leveled it all. It was like they were never there. Price was unbeatable in my opinion for the quality of communication and work prior to start and after finish. Recommend them to anyone and will use them for any future needs. Thanks again!"

"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!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trees should be pruned every two to five years, depending on its age and type. Young trees should be inspected and pruned every two to three years. Mature trees should be inspected and trimmed every three to five years, and fruit trees should be pruned annually with a careful eye on seasonal growth. Evergreens typically don’t need pruning, unless branches or limbs are damaged, diseased, or harboring pests.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.
