"The guys from Always Green are fantastic. I’ve been using their Tree cutting services for many years as I purchased a property with extreme overgrowth. They were always punctual, respectful, clean, and their prices are fair. I’ve recommended them to many friends and family. All had good experience with them. Don’t do work with anyone else until you at least get a quote from them. They do not use pressure tactics to get you to buy their services. Great service. I’ll gladly submit a review for them."

"RJR understood the project and what we were looking to accomplish. Rosalio did a thorough walk through with me. He knew the situation we were in with the Spotted Lantern Flies that were feeding on the Athlantus trees in our yard. He made great suggestions from an arborist perspective and worked out a fair estimate for all the different aspects of the job. RJR and crew went right to work immediately and didnâ t stop. They work fast and are completely careful and respectful of the property. The clean up was like nothing took place that day. Every scrap of wood, leaves and branches were removed. I highly recommend RJR for projects that need a specific consideration."

"they removed the tree trunk and branches timely but did not remove the ROOTS that were sticking up out of the concrete which to me would be part of the tree So I have to pay someone else to remove the roots. Also they were removing parts of tree from next door neighbors garden and broke down the fence between us and started carrying those branches out through the ground floor apartment in my building until they were told to stop by my tenant. I would say they did a good job even tho the man in charge went on vacation before the job was finished, but if you use this company be sure every possible event is covered in your agreement"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Common signs that a tree is rotting include dead branches, a leaning trunk, peeling or cracked bark, leaf discoloration, and the presence of fungi. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to hire an arborist near you to inspect your tree and determine if it can be saved or if it needs to come down.

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.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.
