"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."

"But for these guys we'd have cut down both of our backyard trees. Instead, they've undertaken to try to save them, which is worth more than money. They began work almost immediately after I engaged them; they always arrived within the promised window of time; they cleaned up meticulously; they were friendly and easy to work with. Very high recommendation!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.
