"We had a tree in the front yard that was very large. We had hoped to save it. The arborist from SavATree tried to think of a way to save it, but in the end the only option was to take it down. The team that came to do the work was careful and professional. They took the tree down and chipped it on site. Great work!"

"I had sod /grass seed put down four years ago on my entire front and back yard (by another landscaper).   Last year my lawn developed a chinch bug infestation during the warm summer months and lacked necessary fertilization care.   My lawn looked like crap.  
Pat saved my lawn from total bug infestation and provided necessary insect control, fertilization, aeration and reseeding.   He came in August , and immediately identified the problem and the type of sod which I have (which is not the same as my neighbors).  He also sent sample of soil to be tested.   By the fall my lawn showed much improvement.   I have signed up for the 2016 season hoping the results will continue to be exceptional.  First treatment  was the first week March, so it is too early to tell results because grass is still dormant.  
I have used several other companies in the past.  However, they spent very little time on my lawn, gave the same treatment of spraying products on my lawn that they used for everyone lawn, and their products didn't seem to work.   They also never had soil tested.
Very happy with Dirt & Turf services, they take personal interest in their customers.   Pat also added a great customer service person, Christine, who very responsive and professional.  Highly recommend their services.

"I hired C&Y to remove poison ivy from a tree on my front lawn. My technician was thoughtful to remove all the poison ivy at the root and trim the vines from the tree that extended up the trunk and into the branches. He explained everything and did not use herbicides due to the fragile state of my tree ;’which would have killed it. I will definitely hire them again and use them for landscaping services in the future."

"We had several other
companies give estimates over the course of a week, but they were unable
to do the work in the short time span with which we had to work. Greg
was able to take down two trees quickly and for a reasonable price. 0
Friendly, professional, and safety conscious. Highly recommend Double Tree Services  !

"The two man crew ensured, through communications with company management and with the homeowners, that they understood the job. Clean up was excellent. Price was very fair considering the time spent, initially, by the Arborist and by the two man crew."

"We needed 4 very large trees on our property removed. Julio was extremely accommodating, as we were late getting back to our house for the estimate meeting. He was very knowledgeable, and was very detailed in his estimate. The pricing was also extremely competitive. We only ended up having two of the trees dropped, but the work was impeccable. Julio and his team were punctual, extremely well prepared and very professional. Both trees, stumps and all of the wood were removed in one day, and the cleanup was excellent. We are extremely satisfied with the work and will almost definitely contract them again in the future."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

On grafted trees, tree suckers will grow from the root stock, not the branches grafted onto it. Therefore, the leaves and characteristics of the suckers aren’t the same as the tree because they are different varieties. Root stock has more hardiness, strength, or drought tolerance than its grafted limbs, so if the suckers are from fruit or flowers, it might be different than the main part of your tree.

If you don’t stake a tree that needs support, it could be at greater risk of being damaged or failing completely, whether it uproots or falls over. That could cause damage to your property or other surrounding trees. If you want to grow healthy trees, you may need to stake them for best results.

If an arborist is certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the highest level of certification available is ISA Board Certified Master Arborist. According to the ISA, this credential is reserved for arborists “who have reached the pinnacle of their profession.” Check your arborist’s credentials before hiring to confirm their level of training and expertise.

No. Most of the time, suckers are only a sign that the tree is experiencing stress. However, they can also be the canary in the coal mine, letting you know that something else is stressing your tree. If you have lots of suckers on your tree, calling in an arborist or a tree care expert is always a good call to determine the cause and develop a solution that de-stresses your tree.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
