"I needed a large tree removed that was very close to my neighbors fence. The tree was removed and all debris cleaned up. It was done in a timely manner and at a great price. I would definitely recommend Figuemax and hire again."

"My wife and I hired Maple Tree and Landscaping after dealing with various landscapers over the years that just did not work out how we wanted to. Maple Tree and Landscaping was recommended to us by one of my wifes friends and I can honestly say I have never been happier with how my yard has come along. The gentleman named Dario is such a professional and his work will speak for itself. If I could rate them more than 5 stars I would in a heartbeat. If you are looking for a Landscaping service, look no further."

"Removal of 6 shade trees was done professionally, on schedule, and importantly with no property damage. They followed all of the rules including having insurance and having me get a permit which my township needed. Only improvement could be communications. I would definitely use them again."

"I am very happy with the service provided by CC Tree Experts. They will be the first company I call for this service from now on. 1) Responsive. They were the first ones out with a quote (within a day). My prior service took a week to get a guy out. 2) Fair. Of the quotes I got, they had a fair price.. no over charging. 3) Efficient. On the day of, they were running by 8 am with all vehicles and tools. They were basically done by 11:30. 4) Safe. I watched them slice and dice a tall old tree with control and precision. 5) Clean. The tree and area was chocked with overgrowth and vines. They navigated it all and left the ground clean and debris free. It did take 3 weeks to get work started. I blame that on their high demand. Book early."

"They removed 3 trees from my backyard. They were on time and worked very hard until the job was done. I was very impressed with the cleanup. They removed all of the debris, raked the lawn and used a leaf blower all to make sure the area was cleaned up."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease. 

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)

Stump grinding consists of removing the visible part of the stump, but the roots remain intact. Depending on the tree and root system, the roots may still grow after stump grinding. If you are concerned about root growth and damage, you may want to consider having a stump removed completely.

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.
