"First time we met, he said he would do edging. But the day he showed up, he only cut the lawn. I sent him a text and told me that the day he came, he did not have the right machine to do the edging. he told me that he would come the next week to do it. But, because of some bad weather, he has not done it yet. It is not his fault if we have rainy weather."

"I had a huge maple tree in my backyard that was fully grown when I moved in 64 years ago. It was very tall and spanned 5 additional backyards. Erick’s crew arrived within the quoted time frame and immediately attacked the tree. They worked had all day, cleaned as they worked, and when they finished, the only evidence that a tree had been there was the saw dust where the tree had been. They had to access one of my neighbors’ backyard and even he was impressed by their efficiency and how they cleaned up his yard when they finished. I would highly recommend using this service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

Permits are often required for large tree removals, especially in urban areas or for protected species, ensuring regulation compliance and neighbor safety.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.
