"First choice crew came this morning as promised. Had 3 large maple trees to be trimmed down which were all located close to and overhanging my neighbors house. The crew expertly dropped every limb in a small area safely away from the building. Would recommend this company to anyone who wants a professional job from beginning to clean up at a very reasonable price"

"Joe did an excellent job removing two large maples and trimming limbs on others. He also pointed out potential problems on other trees and those that did not need attention. All work was done neatly and sooner than expected. Very professional, organized, and responsive."

"They showed up when they told me they would and went right to work. It had been about 5 years since anything had been washed; the deck was discolored from pollen and vegetation dropping on it and one side if the house had greenish mold on it; they got all of it completely clean and restored to its original color. They even got the gutters white again. Excellent work!"

Called and left me a message stating when  they would start, they called me again

 the morning of the service date to let me know when they would arrive. They arrived on time and proceeded to aerate and seed my lawn.


The excellence remains to be seen in whether or not the reseeding will take hold and a nice lawn appears.


Thanks so much.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.

You don’t always need a permit to grind a stump, but you might need one depending on your location and the stump’s surroundings. Permits are often needed if the stump is part of a protected tree species, near public areas or utility lines, or close to environmentally sensitive zones like wetlands. Some cities also regulate noise and work hours. Always check local rules before grinding, and contact your city or county office if you're unsure.

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.
