"Wonderful! I will only use J and J tree service for my yard. This is the second big job they have completed for us and not only do they do an excellent job, but Richard is knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to fix other landscaping issues I have without me even asking! I highly recommend and will use over and over!"

"Joel Miller responded to our request to remove 2 large trees and brush (leaving the wood), and grind 3 large stumps. His estimate was HALF of the quotes provided by others! Joel's performance was AMAZING!!! He worked alone on our project and never stopped until everything was done. He is a one-man professional who did it all and appeared tireless! He worked in 98+ degree heat and 100% humidity, he climbed, cut, dropped each tree with accuracy and impressive "ease". He even removed and raked up the sawdust in the yard, leaving it ready for grass seed, and cut the remaining wood to 18" lengths, thereby helping our son as he was taking the wood for firewood. Joel simply did a highly professional and stunning job. This young man is deserving of YOUR business. He is beginning his own company and will work just as tirelessly for you. If you are looking for reasonable pricing, a hard worker, and a top-notch professional, use Joel Miller. He also does other landscape jobs and I'm sure he does those just as professionally."

"Austin was friendly and professional. He and his coworker worked well together and finished the job quickly. Our half stone and half siding house in the woods looks great! The surface areas look fantastic, too! We would hire this company again, for sure."

"I hired John and I cannot recommend him enough! Great estimate, timely, and did above and beyond what was expected. His team was respectful a d his price was very fair. I recommend him to anyone to has a tree or exterior lawn job. John removed a substantial Large Maple tree that was covering half of my homes roof, and ground the stump. He took out 2 overgrown 20â arborvitaes, 2 large pine trees and 30-40 year old shrubs. I was very impressed with the results, thank you John."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

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.

Yes, burning wood with Dutch elm disease is a safer way to dispose of it than, say, tossing it in with the rest of your yard waste, which could potentially allow it to spread to healthy trees. But it’s always a good idea to check with your local government to make sure you’re complying with any ordinances about removing diseased trees as well as burning brush piles.

If you ever want to see the literal fruits of your labor, you’ll need to prune your peach trees. Without pruning, the trees may not grow or bear fruit since the nutrients will be divided among too many offshoots to provide any with enough energy to produce the peaches. Plus, if parts of the peach tree become diseased or pest-ridden, pruning can nip those problems in the bud.

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.
