"The most important attribute of a tree service is that they show up when they say to estimate and then perform the work within a short time afterward. These guys did both. The crew worked quickly and efficiently, doing everything they were asked. I'd hire them again."

"G & G Landscaping did a great job! They took down 2 large trees, removed the stumps, and cleared away a lot of overgrown brush. They had to deal with some snow and very cold weather.…that did not deter them. They worked diligently for 3 days to get the job done. I am extremely happy with their work, professionalism, and the price was very fair."

"Amazing service from Tim and his team. I needed three trees removed from my property and he got back to me quickly for an estimate, then just as quick to schedule the appointment. The trees were removed safely and it was amazing to see how quickly and efficiently they worked. My yard looks amazing and now it can be better utilized without the massive trees in the way. I canâ t wait for fall and not to have to spend days raking leaves from my yard! It was definitely worth every penny to make my yard safer without the trees. Iâ d recommend anyone who needs any of the services they provide to go with Dumpster Daddy over anyone else."

"Edwin is the best! He arrived quickly to evaluate my large tree which needed to come down and in a few days it was done while I was out of town. After the ice storm there were a few other limbs which needed to be taken down and he is coming back in a couple days to get that done. He is professional and his price was very good for the work he did. I would definitely hire him again."

"Brandon and his crew are fantastic - friendly, professional, reliable. They removed 4 trees, ground the stumps, and trimmed up 3 others that we wanted to keep but needed the dead wood removed. Their level of communication is refreshing and they did a great job cleaning up. Competitively priced on top of it. Would recommend every time. Our new go-to tree guys! Thank you!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Using Epsom salt to kill a tree stump typically takes between six and 12 months. While this may seem like a long time, it is significantly faster than the natural decomposition process, which can take up to seven years. This method is a viable DIY option for stumps that do not pose an immediate hazard. If you need a faster solution, you can hire a professional for stump removal or grinding, though this may cause more damage to the surrounding ground.

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

Burning a tree stump can be effective, but it comes with safety considerations and isn’t always best for every situation. It's essential to check local regulations and assess the safety risks involved. Stumps that are near wooden structures or other non-moveable flammable objects aren’t good candidates for burning due to the risk of the fire spreading. Alternatives like grinding or a DIY stump rotting project might be safer and quicker for getting the job done.

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.
