"I would highly recommend Arborist of America for all your tree work needs! William Byrd, owner of Arborist of America, and his crew did an exceptional job in completely removing two 100 foot trees of mine and did it in timely manner with no damages to my or the neighboring properties. William is very professional and very knowledgeable in tree work and trees in itself. I would definitely hire Arborist of America again to carry out any tree work of mine."
"From the first contact until the work was completed, Pacific Northwest Arborists was a professional, friendly company to do business with. Keith, the owner, came out to bid. I was impressed with how invested he was in saving our trees. Other companies we contacted were encouraging us to remove the trees. Keith offered realistic explanations and solutions to the various problems. Even to the point of saving a sapling shoot that was sprouting from the remaining birch stump in hopes that a new tree would result. The bid was very reasonable. The work performed and the cleanup following exceeded our expectations. I have already recommended Pacific Northwest Arborist to a neighbor and would not hesitate to use their services again."
"This company provided excellent service. They trimmed a very overgrown hedge and removed 5 arborvitae trees that were leaning against my house. They removed all of the debris and did an excellent job. Juan checked with me to make sure that he had trimmed the hedge the way that I wanted it."
"We first discussed what was best for the mature trees and i appreciated the experience of the arborist and accepted his experience and quote for the work. Communication could have been clearer about arrival time but the work and cleanup were perfect!!! I would hire them again. They area professional, friendly and very good."
"Francisco’s crew came and removed my tree. They were punctual, professional, and did a great job. I would definitely hire them again and would highly recommend the to anyone."
"Douglas came out and gave me an estimate and said he would do the work the next day. Unfortunately, it rained. He left me a message a couple of days later telling me that 2 men were on the way and they arrived a short while later. Thank you, Douglas! I believe their names were Ralph and Francisco. They were very nice and very professional. They had to use pick axes and shovels but they got out every bit of the stumps and roots of large shrubs that had been in place for 20 years! The put in some nice new soil. Then Francisco carried a very heavy plant and planter from the back yard to the front on his shoulder! Pretty amazing! They dug a nice large hole for the pittosporum and were very careful to plant it so that it looked just right. They cleaned everything up and it looked wonderful! Then they pruned several severely overgrown mugo pines. I was very concerned about doing this because I was afraid they'd end up looking sparse afterwards. These guys really know what they're doing. The shrubs look fantastic! I couldn't believe they could look that nice! And, of course, they cleaned up everything afterwards. There was not a leaf or any dirt left anywhere. I was very impressed, and I'm a pretty critical person. I have their card and will not hesitate to call them again if I need any kind of landscaping service. Highly recommended! "
"Professional, knowledgeable and did a wonderful job. We had 2 large trees removed from our property that were both near our house and they did exactly what we wanted and cleaned up really well. We will absolutely use them again when we are ready to remove other trees from the property."
"Evergreen did a good job of removing dangerous dead branches from my 100 yr. old Big Leaf Maple tree. It's a good thing they came fully prepared, as one of the HUGE limbs had a large, active bee hive in it. Overall, they did an outstanding job! They were on time, they were fast and efficient, and did a superb job of cleaning up. The only awkward thing concerning the job, was that none of the tree trimmers spoke English...for which Nick (owner) later apologized."
The shepherd’s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over 230 feet deep. Some African communities refer to it as the “Tree of Life” since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.
Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.
It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.
While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.
It depends on where you live—but in most areas, leaves begin falling in September and continue falling until January or February. Warmer regions, such as Southern states, may see leaves fall a bit later in the calendar year. It also depends on the type of trees in your yard and their maturity.
Using Epsom salt to kill a tree stump typically takes between six and 12 months. While this may seem like a long time, it is significantly faster than the natural decomposition process, which can take up to seven years. This method is a viable DIY option for stumps that do not pose an immediate hazard. If you need a faster solution, you can hire a professional for stump removal or grinding, though this may cause more damage to the surrounding ground.
