"I recently had the pleasure of working with B&N Enterprises for some tree maintenance and removal work at my property. From the get-go, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. I was connected with Nick, who was my contact person throughout the project. Nick was quick, friendly, and very professional in his responses, making the entire process smooth and hassle-free. The team provided a quote promptly and managed to schedule and complete the job much quicker than I had anticipated. The pricing was very fair, presenting great value for the quality of work provided. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome and the efficiency with which the job was done. The scope of work included trimming two trees to ensure uniformity with others in my neighborhood and on my neighbor's property, which they executed perfectly. They also removed a dying pine tree and took care of grinding the stump, leaving the area neat and tidy. The clean-up was done quickly and thoroughly once the job was completed, which I greatly appreciated. The expertise and professionalism displayed by B&N Enterprises are commendable. I would not hesitate to hire them again for any future projects and highly recommend their services to anyone in need of tree care or removal services. The peace of mind knowing the job will be done right and with care is priceless. A well-deserved 5-star rating for Nick and the entire B&N Enterprises team!"

"Jason did an excellent job from the beginning. He responded promptly, gave an accurate estimate, researched what needed to be done, got the necessary supplies, and got the job done. He was very personable and explained what and how he planned to remove the poison ivy, going above and beyond to ensure it was all removed, roots included. I'd highly recommend him."

"Very knowledgeable, proficient and fast. My yard was covered in brush, dead trees and had a ditch in the middle of it. I had my land cleared and graded. I originally hired him to do part of my yard and it turned out so well we had him do the whole thing. The junk was removed, unwanted trees were taken out and gave me a clean functional yard. William was also very helpful and willing to help when we accidentally burned down our tree house and he removed the debris, he also removed hidden trash the previous owners hid in brush and dirt including a small car. He works until the job is done at a very reasonable price and is very willing to accommodate your needs to get the job done. We plan to hire him for future projects and if your looking for quality he is the right one for the job."

"Alan and the employees of Crowe Town Construction are a part measure to work with. They treated us and our house with respect. An ugly old bathroom has been turned into a picture in a magazine!! We especially love the tile work that was done. If you have any work that needs doing we recommend Cross Town for the job. You can trust them."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.
