"We hired M. Snyder Construction to replace 3 ceilings. This was demo and waste disposal through to finish paint. They started and finished according to the schedule. Mike even took my tenantâ s schedule in mind when planning his time frame. While the dumpster was still on site, Mike let us dispose of construction waste we had gathered up from another project. The entire crew is courteous, trustworthy, professional and capable. I was a Designer at an architectural firm that did historic restoration. I have done many a punch list. I had NO post job issues that needed addressing. We heartily recommend M. Snyder Construction"

"These are the guys you want to hire for your tree service. Justin and his crew are quick, efficient, respectful of the properties they're working on and go above and beyond - all while offering extremely reasonable pricing. There are a lot of options out there for tree service, but these guys are a tier above the rest because they take genuine pride in their work and aren't just trying to make a quick buck. Happy to say they'll be my go-to for tree/property service in the area."

"I hired Upstate Tree Service to trim and shape my Japanese Cherry tree which was way overgrown. Lonny was so nice and very professional. The tree was so large they had to use a bucket truck to trim it. My husband was afraid that if the truck went on the lawn it would ruin our grass. They did go on the lawn but youâ d never know it. Our tree came out beautiful and I will definitely use them again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.

DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

Yes, the same rules discussed above apply to your neighbor: They can trim one of your trees as long as they’re only cutting the portion that extends into their property. Your neighbor is not allowed to access your property without permission, nor can they cut past the property line.
