"Excellent!! They were the most professional service I have ever had. They saw I had a sprinkler system without me telling them and took the necessary precautions not to run the truck over the sprinkler heads. I had spring flowers that had started emerging and they took special care not to drop branches on them. They cleaned up so well, the yard was left in better condition than before they started. I would highly recommend them to anyone anytime. Their pricing came in lower than the other 2 estimates i received.."

Michelle and I have been wanting to plan these trees for privacy and the work seem overwhelming to us because the project required planting 15 thuja. Evergreen trees. We finally decided to hire D&E Lawn Care and Pressure Washing as er recommendation from a friend and it was a very good decision because their job was awesome our trees look amazing, they clear the debris and cleaned up. They were very efficient and professional."

"Julio came out promptly to give us a quote, which was right in line with 2 other quotes we'd received, and was he extremely professional and knowledgeable.  When we scheduled the work, they came on time, and did a wonderful job.  They had large equipment to handle the situation, and Julio and his whole crew were professional, pleasant, hard-working, and worked very well as a team.  They were careful about what they were doing, and did a very nice job cleaning up.  We highly recommend them!"

"It went well. Mr. Gallo looked at the condition of the retaining wall and said it wasn't something he wanted to work on. He said he was more of a plant maintenance and landscaping person. He gave me an idea of the kind of company I should hire. He was very helpful although he didn't perform any work.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

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.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Dying trees and even dead trees can spread diseases to other living trees. There are many different types of tree diseases, so it’s essential to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent the disease from spreading to other healthy trees. If the tree cannot be saved and is infected, you need to have it removed to protect the other trees on your property.

Unless it’s dead or dangerous, think twice about cutting down a tree in your yard. They’re good for health, well-being, wildlife, and the environment. Plus, local authorities often have regulations prohibiting the removal of trees, especially protected species or individual trees with historical value.
