"We are extremely please with Katie and John. From the time Katie came to give a quote to the end of the job they were great. Did everything and more that needed done. Very professional and hard workers. I will never contact anyone else to do tree work for us."
"The owner and crew are excellent! Prompt, friendly, great tree removal, stump grinding and clean-up! Great experience with them! Would highly recommend!"
"This is the only tree service that contacted me within a day, and was here to give me a quote within a week. Adam was very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. I would recommend this company to anyone who needs a tree/stump removed."
"Jermaine was excellent at helping with the yard work that needed to be done. He removed and planted a dogwood tree, removed old mulch and replaced it with new in three flower beds, and re-cemented a loose fence post. It was all done promptly. He and his assistant cleaned up all the debris that remained after the work was completed. He knows his business and can be relied on to do what he says he will. He is priced within the going rates. I would hire him again."
"Ryan edged and mulched our yard for us and also installed a large trellis/lattice panel as well. He was very professional, responsive, meticulous and hard working! I would highly recommend him & his work!"
"Devin was very responsive when I called and asked for a quote for a tree that was close to our house. I'd heard he was good with that type of work and when he came out and went over the job with me he was very knowledgeable, and said he had a great crew. That left me very comfortable with the work he planned to do. During the job they were surprisingly quick with the removal and no debris was left behind. It was a fantastic experience and I'm glad I called him to do the work."
"Daniel Grider responded immediately to my inquiry. He came out the same day and gave me an excellent quote for the work I needed. The work was completed quickly and exceptionally. I will definitely call this company for any future projects."
"I needed someone to do a major brush removal and some tree trimming. I contacted 3 landscaping services for my project prior to finding Betschart on HomeAdvisor. Brian at Betschart was the only one to respond to me, and he did so within a few hours of my inquiry. We met at the job site within 2 days, and he sent me an estimate that evening. (Tuesday.) We spent the next 2 days emailing the contract back and forth, and on Friday he told me they would begin the work either Monday or Tuesday. They were there on Monday, and the total job took 4 days to complete. The workers were efficient, fast to respond to any requests that I made, and did an overall excellent job of clearing and removing some large overhanging tree branches, and a awful lot of brush from around the house, the garage, and other areas on the property. They ground out the stumps, and did a very good job cleaning up and removing the debris. I highly recommend Brian and his group! Once I am ready to clean up the rest of the property, this is the only call I will make."

"In November of 2019 on Wednesday, before Thanksgiving the Wind Blew Off Rows of Shingles exposing my home to rain and snow. The Owner of C & H came to my home on Thanksgiving quoted me a very fair price. C & H Roofing Crew repaired my Roof on Friday just before a freezing rain snow storm was coming for the week. C & H Roof Repair Crew started in 7 AM and finished early afternoon. They brought their own equipment, reinforced other parts of the roof, and cleaned up the area as well. I was very satisfied as well as grateful ever since they did this job on a Holiday Weekend. I will always call C & H on any Home Project or Repair Emergencies. This Review was written well after Months of C & H Construction Finished the job and I have had High Winds again, but C & H Repairs are still holding up just as they promised. I highly recommend C & H Landscaping and Construction and do so with complete honesty and sincerity without reservation."
No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.
It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.
For Bradford pears, damage from storms is common, and if the trunk splits, it can pose a danger to people and surrounding structures. The best thing to do in that instance is to have the tree removed. If there’s only minor damage to the branches, pruning away the damaged parts is the first order of business. You may also want to consult a professional arborist to make sure the tree is healthy.
Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.
If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.
