"This is a phenomenal tree service and Arborist. They do fabulous field work. Andy has been taking care of my trees for years. I also have fruit trees that he has helped me with. I cannot say enough good things about the work they do. The crew is hard working and extremely professional. I rely solely on Strobert's Tree Service to care for my trees. Andy is spot on when it comes to pricing. The very first time he was out for an estimate he noticed a strangulating root which was killing one of my trees. He went to his truck for some tools and took care of that root instantly - at no charge - and saved my tree that I did not even know was in trouble. Also, we had an ice storm recently and Andy was able to save my favorite 60' Pine tree. Branches were freezing and dropping to the ground. They did a procedure called "re-balancing" and actually weighted the tree in specific areas until it could take hold - and it is surviving as well. His pricing is spot on as well. I strongly recommend Strobert Tree Services as this is a true professional."

"We had 7 trees that needed removal as they were blocking our entire house and growing into our siding. I spoke with Joe about getting a quote, and he came to our house in under an hour to give us a quote. The quote was extremely fair, so we decided to hire TLC. Joe and crew came THE NEXT day, removed all 7 trees in just a few hours. He got rid of all the debris from cutting down the trees, blew our leaves, picked up leftover fruit dropped from our trees, etc. He and team did an amazing job, and now, our house is viewable and safe again! It was super impressive, and we are thrilled with the work he and team did! Thank you TLC Tree & Landscaping Care!!!"

"We had an urgent job with a large broken tree branch in our front yard. We also had 3 tree stumps requiring removal, but we delayed removal because of fear the equipment would damage our lawn. Blue Cord has light equipment that removed the stumps without damaging our ground. Highly satisfied with the end results."

"Everything went well with this job, from when we initiated contact with the company's rep to the final day of work with the crew that came out. They were professional, clean, efficient and catered to my needs. It was a crew of three workmen and they were not loud or disturbing in any way. There wasn't a day that went by that they did not clean up after themselves. I requested that they dig up some of my perennials that I wanted to save to transplant and they were happy to help. I had used them for work in my front yard and because they did such a nice job, I called them again to complete the work in my back yard. I would highly recommend Plymouth Nursery for any hardscaping needs."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.

Transporting a fully-grown tree requires heavy equipment, typically specialized for the task. A tree spade is a truck-mounted tool that removes the tree from the ground in one location, transports it, and places it in a new hole in a new location. A combination of mechanized shovels and lifts is necessary to move very large trees, and the exact tools often depend on location and the surrounding area.

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.
