"I just had them prune some trees, remove a big one, and grind down the stump, and I couldn’t be happier! The team was super friendly and professional. They did a fantastic job on the pruning, and the tree removal was quick and safe. The stump grinding was seamless, and they left my yard looking great. Overall, I highly recommend these guys for any tree work you need. Thanks for the awesome service!"

"They came gave me an estimate. We set a day and time. They were on time. They did exactly what I wanted done. They gave us back the backyard that was taken over by a tree. I can now sit on my porch and see the sites. Had three bushes removed. I recommend Juan and his crew."

"Thomas, the Arborist was very knowledgeable and sensed immediately what needed to be done. My tree was sculpted to the shape it needed, and shored up with a cable to prevent it from toppling in heavy winds. The cleanup was perfect, as you would never have known that anything took place. I will continue to have them treat my trees and shrubs. Glad I found them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind.
