"Removal of 8, 10’ arborvitae including the stumps. Sean, the owner, replied to my request promptly. We arranged a time to walk the job. His price was reasonable. They showed up to perform the work on time and cleaned up at the end. Sean is an easy guy to talk to and explained what he would do very clearly. I would definitely hire him again. In fact, he’s providing a quote on fence installation."

"John of Plymouth Nursery and Landscaping and his staff were wonderful. They did a terrific job cleaning up my property and planting all new beautiful shrubs and plants. Also installed a system to help with my water problem. My property was in desperate need of a face lift and John and his crew came through. I would recommend Plymouth Nursery and Landscaping!"

"Sky High Services exceeded our expectations in every way. We had a tree that needed urgent removal, and their crew responded promptly with a fair quote and expert service. They brought the tree down without damaging our fence or landscaping. The cleanup was great, and their communication throughout the process was top-notch. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing tree work."

"We've used them on several occasions, both for our front and back yards and on a varitey of trees (age, type). In each case we've dealt with their owner, Max, who is quite knowledgeable. We appreciate that we were never being sold a package. He was really most concerned about the health of each tree, balanced with our safety and even our neighbors'. We were often able to prune trees in ways that let them live longer and healthier, and not compete with other trees on our property. Highly recommended!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.

There are a few differences between tree guying and tree staking. Tree guying requires anchor stakes that are shorter and stronger than regular stakes and are driven deeper into the ground at an angle away from the tree. Tree staking uses longer stakes that are set parallel to the tree and are used for smaller trees. Consult a local tree professional to determine which method is best for your tree.

Aside from removing dead or diseased branches, you should prune your trees somewhere between every one and three years. Some people—particularly commercial farmers—prune their apple trees yearly to produce higher yields. This is the best way to promote tree health. That said, the average homeowner can get away with hard-pruning their mature apple tree every other year or every three years.
