"They are focused on masonry work and are knowledgeable. They volunteered photos of prior work giving me confidence. Brick repointing is expensive as I learned, the prices can vary a lot. I found their cost estimates reasonable and clearly from specialists in this kind of work. Overall happy with the work done, dealing with individuals."

"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."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it’s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate.

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.
