"I love my backyard! John Starkie drew up the landscape design plans and kept me informed before, during and after planting. All work was completed in only 2 days including a repair to my patio pavers. He is passionate and educated about what he does and makes sure you know how to maintain your landscape. Johns crew removed a tree stump for free just to improve the look of the project. All work exceeded my expectation!!!"

"They did a fabulous job on my front porch, walkway, stone veneer and landscaping. The price was very fair and Joe was a pleasure to work with. He responded to my request for an estimate and all subsequent communication promptly. He helped guide me in the right direction during the design process and was very patient with me when I was indecisive. He even accompanied me to pick out just the right plants and trees to compliment the hardscape. People I don't know have stopped to tell me how beautiful my stone work is. The crew was polite and friendly, showed up on time everyday and left the work area clean. I highly recommend this company to anyone in need of masonry work."

"We recently installed an inground pool and hired Carmine to put coping around the edge of the pool, gutted and installed new pavers on the patio area, and flattened my very hilly yard to make it all one level. Him and his team did an OUTSTANDING job. We are blown away at how great the yard now looks. He did a great job communicating the steps and timeline of the project and stuck to that timeline without issue. We couldn't be happier with the job he did and I would HIGHLY recommend Carmine for any future work."

"I just had them prune some trees, remove a big one, and grind down the stump, and I couldn’t be happier! The team was super friendly and professional. They did a fantastic job on the pruning, and the tree removal was quick and safe. The stump grinding was seamless, and they left my yard looking great. Overall, I highly recommend these guys for any tree work you need. Thanks for the awesome service!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.

Not all evergreen conifers need to be pruned, but some do. Pruning pine trees is not necessary, but you can do so during June and July if you wish. On the other hand, spruce, firs, and junipers do need to be pruned from late winter to early spring.

All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it’s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate.
