"Beautiful work! I didn't do their mowing service but took them up on tree cutting and clearing a small strip of land between our property and a corn field. Great, honest and quick! Will have them plow this winter. Hard workers"

"Woodchuck boys brushhogged our 4 acre family property this spring and did a fantastic job. Excellent service and communication, gentleman arrived promptly at agreed upon date and time. The property had sat untouched for a few years but he nailed it, and at a very reasonable price at that. I would definitely recommend them!"

"Tree removal estimate was given on same day as request. Work was done on day scheduled exactly as discussed. Crew made every effort to clean up at the end of the day and left yard cleaner than before the beginning of project. Crew was focussed on doing a good job and was courteous in the completion of it. I would highly recommend this business for its professionalism, attention to detail, and all around good attitude about the whole project, from the giving of the estimate to final check with me that all was done according to my expectations. I recommend this business without reservation and would go with them again, without getting competitive bids. They show up and do the work."

"Very professional and timely. When I called to get my lawn mowed because my mower was broken Chris said he could have someone there in the next hour if that worked. I had to schedule later in the week but his crew showed up first thing in the morning just like he said. After everything was complete they asked if I was satisfied and they really did a great job. I could recommend this service with no problem to any of my friends or family. Great value and a great service with many different options available."

I have always had a passion for trees dating back to my dendrology classes at Miami University. That passion has fueled many years in the arboriculture industry as a crew leader and climber. I'm happy to consult with you on your trees or shrubs and options to explore to preserve them for the long-term. Being an ISA Certified Arborist, I'm always striving to keep up with industry standards and grow myself.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

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.
