"I hired Erik's Tree Service to cut down 7 med to large problem trees along my driveway & yard. I was very happy with the job outcome and would definitely recommend Erik for any type of tree trimming/cut down work you have. Erik is a safety conscientious professional who is prompt, very skilled/knowledgeable at his trade and showed a lot of respect for my entire property. He communicates well and offers reasonable pricing. Erik would be my go to guy!"

"Ryan and his team were really fast, efficient and careful! Very professional. They got the job done perfectly! The willow tree that was half fallen had been leaning dangerously over the flower garden and onto my prize flowering magnolia tree. They took great care of the magnolia and the rest of the garden and cleaned up all the debris. Thanks guys for a fabulous job and a reasonable price!"

At 24, I’ve built a strong foundation in outdoor property services, running my own lawn care and junk removal business since receiving my driver’s license. What started as a way to enjoy working outdoors and earn reliable side income has grown into a dependable operation focused on quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. With years of hands-on experience managing physical work, scheduling routes, and delivering consistent results for homeowners, I’m now expanding my services to include professional pet waste removal—helping dog owners maintain clean, safe yards without the hassle. I take pride in reliable, respectful service and turning necessary chores into something customers don’t have to worry about.

"Very good communication, prompt response and estimate of cost for the job. Very good work at a fair price. Brandon was very responsive and answered text and voice message promptly. The work was done when agreed to at the fair quoted estimate. Worked even in the rain to complete the job. I will definitely call them the next time I need trimming or removal of the trees on my property. It has been like pulling teeth to get some other local contractors to even return calls or provide an estimate. This was a totally different experience. Recommended!"

"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."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.

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 local excavation services to loosen up large boulders before you can begin to remove the tree stump.

Late winter is ideal, but if you’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’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’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.
