"We had a concrete sidewalk, back patio and driveway pad prepped and poured to replace our flagstone areas. L&M Excavation did an expert job throughout the hot long workdays. There were plenty of obstacles to navigate with large equipment and loads of materials but everything was put back in order by the end of the job. Definitely would recommend this crew for your concrete projects."

"Mike was recommended to us by a neighbor and we are VERY PLEASED with the expertise and workmanship he provided! We hired him to remove branches of a very large old tree that was splitting and the end result turned out BEAUTIFULLY. Mike answered all of our many questions prior to the project and was very transparent and HONEST about each detail. Additionally he was not only responsive, but also RESPECTFUL, EFFICIENT and took extra care to avoid driving over our septic system. His assistant also went the extra mile to clean up our yard immaculately and I even saw him fixing part of our caution tape marking our septic area that had ripped during their work; truly impressive care and attention to detail. Overall, Mike is ETHICAL, PROFESSIONAL and down to earth - I would absolutely recommend his work to anyone looking to hire a GREAT LOCAL BUSINESSMAN. Thank you Mike!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

In the short term, you’ll have a lot of fallen trees to deal with. Tree removal services costs typically start at $200 per tree and increase based on species and size. Then, you’ll have to deal with the loss of trees: That means a loss of shade and a greater risk of rain runoff and erosion. Also, you’ll miss out on the health and aesthetic benefits of having trees on your property, which could even affect the resale value of your home.

That being said, cutting down a tree it’s not always a bad idea. Trees growing too close to rooftops can present fire hazards or debris problems. You may need to remove diseased or dying trees to prevent future issues.

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.
