"This was, by far, one of the best experiences. They were very professional; kept me updated on time, etc,BUT what sets the apart from all others is tge job they did. Just incredible. I had just moved in to a rental, but I wanted the house to look clean and well taken care of. There were some weeds taller than the windows. There was Poison Ivy and all those weeds were choking out any good plants. They cleaned it all out, cut trees, removed bushes, trimmed bushes, raked the flower beds and hauled it all away. 7 hrs of work! I cannot say enough great things about this company. There are a few more bushes I'd like taken out, but need to get the landlords permission first. If that happens, i will definitely contact Set Apart Tree."

"Louis responded promptly to my message to have a tree trimmed and a large lilac bush removed. He gave me a quote for half of what another company quoted .He came the following week as promised and did an excellent job. He cleaned up the yard and hauled everything away.I would definitely hire him again and highly recommend him"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Talking with a septic pro before planting trees near your tank is best to ensure the roots won’t interfere with your septic system. However, there is an easy way to figure out where to plant a tree—but you’ll need to know how tall it can get when it’s fully grown. For instance, if the tree can reach 50 feet, plant it at least 50 feet from your septic system.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

Transplanting a palm tree is a similar process except for a couple of important differences. First, their root ball doesn’t need to be as large as a “true” tree, which makes them a bit easier to dig up and move around. Second, they struggle more with taking root and staying upright in a new location, so it’s important to give them extra support when staking. 

There are a few differences between tree guying and tree staking. Tree guying requires anchor stakes that are shorter and stronger than regular stakes and are driven deeper into the ground at an angle away from the tree. Tree staking uses longer stakes that are set parallel to the tree and are used for smaller trees. Consult a local tree professional to determine which method is best for your tree.
