Q: How long will it take to grind a tree stump with a stump grinder?

• <div><p>It will take you anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours per tree stump to grind and remove the stump from the ground. The larger the size, the longer it will take to remove the stump. Also, keep in mind that rocky soil may require <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/excavation-companies/">local excavation services</a> to loosen up large boulders before you can begin to remove the tree stump.</p></div>

Q: Can I prune apple trees in the spring?

• <div><p>Late winter is ideal, but if you&rsquo;re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn&rsquo;t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won&rsquo;t see results until the following year.</p><p>That said, there&rsquo;s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.</p></div>

Q: How do I shape a cherry tree by trimming it?

• <div><p>You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between tree guying and tree staking?

• <div><p>There are a few differences between tree guying and tree staking. Tree guying requires anchor stakes that are shorter and stronger than regular stakes and are driven deeper into the ground at an angle away from the tree. Tree staking uses longer stakes that are set parallel to the tree and are used for smaller trees. Consult a local tree professional to determine which method is best for your tree.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth hiring an arborist or tree surgeon over a standard tree company?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

"Eric responded quickly to my request. The service was scheduled in the same week. Crew was on time. Eric even called to let me know he was a little delayed, which was most appreciated and showed respect for me as a customer. The crew was professional and did an excellent job in removing the trees. The stray Elm trees were also removed at my request. Everything was cleaned up and left very neat. I would definitely hire again and since I have a landscaping project in mind, I will definitely have them perform this work as well."

"D&R did a tremendous job of repairing my cracked and buckled drywall. The quality of work was amazing and even brought his team out during the service to evaluate other work at my residence. Their team was extremely professional, produced high quality results, and was extremely well priced. This was by far my best experience on Angie's List and I highly recommend D&R to anyone who needs work done.
