"Emerald Valley's veteran trimmer has a certificate in his field. And he and his partner did an excellent job in less time than I had expected. Very cooperative in executing my plan for my backyard. The two young men worked hard, and I am now definitely a fan of Emerald Valley Tree."

"I’m a senior and not stable enough to mow, and the yard got away from me. Emilio came out to give an estimate, and stayed and did the job. Emilio was punctual, friendly, and did exactly what I needed and did a thorough job! Will be using Oak Property Service again! Very happy."

Small jobs welcome

"AMAZING!! It's so important to partner with exceptional professionals (accountants, lawyers, financial advisors, builders, etc) and Eric is most certainly one of these. He is very professional, showed up in person to give me an estimate, his team did an exceptional job, and he showed up in person again to make sure the work met my expectations. I am incredibly happy with my fence; it is a work of art! I would highly recommend Eric and his team for any project you have in mind. Book early, as talent requires that you may have to wait!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.

A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip.

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.

Stay inside or well away until the storm passes. Don’t go outside to inspect the tree until the weather clears, especially if the tree is on a hill or isolated in a field. Lightning often strikes the same easily-accessed places multiple times, and you could be a new target. If a lightning strike causes a noticeable fire, alert emergency services. When the storm is over, take a closer look to gauge the damage done.

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.
