"From the time I called Sami's tree services to the time they finished the job, everything is aces dealing with this company. First off, I called them to come over and do an inspection of the work. Sami showed up the following day and provided the quote immediately right after that. Secondly, the quote to take down one tree, including stump work, was very reasonable and competitive compared to the other two tree service LLCs I reached out to. Now, for the actual job. Sami's Landscape services performed the job in the utmost, professional way. They have all the right tools and equipment for the job performed, and the crew are well trained and definitely know what they're doing. I have electrical, cable, and phone lines intertwined into the branches of my 40-ft maple tree, and they meticulously navigated around those wires without any issues. Overall, they met and even exceeded my expectations. I would definitely hire them again for my future tree care needs, and I highly recommend their services."

Customers say: True professional

"Everything about hiring this team was “TOP DRAWER! Spoke by phone and owner/estimater came next day, gave good quotes with optionality for removing a large Ash tree, two smaller trees and cutting down 7 or 8 branches in various other trees by hand. Day after that 4 huge trucks with tons of equipment and a team of 5-6 guys (including two of the owners sons) showed up at 9:30am and worked their @sses off all day doing exactly what they promised, including stump grinding and protecting surrounding trees and hauling it all off. Near the end, a guy climbed three or four of my trees like a raccoon assisted by someone on the ground to rappel him etc. to trim limbs. I couldn’t be happier with this job and the whole experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

"The original project turned into an emergency project because of a storm that brought down two huge trees. Sage handled the removal of the debris of the fallen limbs and removed the trees. We were impressed with the crew. We will be contacting them for the original project in the near future. They left a very good impression."

"Samuel of QualityLawn removed 5 fallen trees from my property. He and his crew were diligent, hardworking and professional. During the estimate process, I expressed concern about his truck damaging my asphalt driveway. He took note and on the day of the job he left the truck on the street and used manual labor and small machinery to lug everything back to the street. He probably saved me thousands of dollars from avoiding asphalt damage. Beyond this, during execution of the job, Samuel was easy to work with and answered all my questions to insure everything was done to my satisfaction. He and his crew cleaned up everything and left the property immaculate. I would never hire anyone else but him for tree work. I wish he was closer to me because I would have hired him as my landscaper also!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

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.
