"I recently hired Troy to help level out a large section of my yard, dig deep concrete footers for a gazebo, and assist with some general landscaping work — and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, Troy was professional, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable. He showed up on time, brought all the right equipment, and got to work immediately. The ground leveling was precise, and the concrete footers were dug exactly to spec — deep, clean, and ready for rebar. His attention to detail and work ethic are top-notch. He also offered helpful recommendations throughout the process, which really improved the outcome of the project. If you’re looking for someone dependable who knows what they’re doing and won’t cut corners, Troy is your guy. I’ll absolutely be using him again for future landscaping and outdoor construction projects."

"Thorn Forest Products are excellent. They came in with a crane and had the tree down in no time. Cleaned and chipped up all debris. I would definitely recommend them for your next tree removal project! Thank you to you and your team Josh."

"Troy with TWC was very responsive, professional, and talented. We had a large-sized tree break off and fall on our backyard fence. He was not only able to quote us same day, he offered a competitive price and was able to bring heavy duty equipment same day and complete the tree removal with precision and expertise. Will absolutely hire TWC again and highly recommend them to others!!"

"Had a huge tree fall during a storm, breaking thru fence into neighbor's yard. Will and his crew did a great job of removing the tree and some additional cutting of other overgrown trees in the backyard. Special shout to Richard, who came back to do additional work I requested. Very pleased overall with their service. Will use again for sure."

"John has done several relatively small jobs for us and has been great to work with. He has done some hardscaping with blocks, pavers and precast steps. He has also done some tree and shrub trimming. He even removed some debris from some of our previous projects. John is punctual, professional and very reasonably priced. He provided accurate estimates and was willing to allow us to add work during the jobs at reasonable changes in cost. We will definitely be using him again in the future!"

"Brightview Landscape met and exceeded every expectation we had for this job. They contacted us promptly and were super responsive to our questions, came out for a quote quickly, and the work was superb. They got our large yard compltely cleaned up and ready for winter, repaired several split-rail fences, and removed a TON of leaves. It was EXACTLY what I had hoped they'd do and more. We're thrilled. I'd recommend Brightview to anyone."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

In most cases, your neighbor is responsible for roots from their tree that cause damage to your property. If your pavement, the foundation of your home, or a fence is damaged by roots from a neighbor’s tree, you likely will have legal recourse for financial relief. While it’s better to notify your neighbor of any problems you notice as soon as they arise to avoid costly damage, there are some instances where filing a civil suit is your only recourse. Your homeowner’s insurance company might wish to do so on your behalf if you file a claim.

Bradford pear trees bloom in early spring with small white flowers. They typically flower for at least two weeks. In bloom, these trees often emit a foul-smelling odor that’s often compared to rotting fish. Bradford pear trees will sometimes bloom in the fall due to drought or other stress-inducing conditions.
