"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!"

"Edwin and his crew did an amazing job cleaning my backyard. They were on time, professional, and worked quickly but carefully. The yard was a mess before, but they left it spotless and organized. They took care of everything from clearing debris to making sure everything looked neat. I really appreciated how respectful and friendly they were throughout the process. I would definitely recommend Edwin and his team to anyone looking for reliable, thorough backyard cleaning."

"Almstead did an outstanding job. Nick the arborist I worked with was a pleasure and was very knowledgeable and patient. He asked me questions at the outset about what I wanted done and how I visualized the finished job. He gave me lots of choices and I selected the ones I wanted. I received an estimate and time frame and the job was completed on time and on budget. To clarify we were replacing all the foundation plantings. My family and I are So pleased and highly recommend Nick and Almstead."

"Couldn't recommend more highly! I left my stormdoor slightly ajar during a windstorm and it was almost ripped off the hinges. Danian responded quickly, provided an estimate and had a new door sourced and installed in no time (he even came out after hours to deliver the door and took time and care to install it, despite the freezing weather, on a weekend). The cost was exactly as quoted and extremely reasonable, particularly given the quality of the work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

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.
