"They came in at half what I was quoted, on time, no delay, precision cutting of a multi trunk tree on a slope. It was 95 degree day, 85 percent humidity, they worked like a seal team. One thing I would like to note, it fell in my yard 6 weeks ago, 7 contractors didn't even call me. They responded quickly. Only improvement I would have liked to have seen was the raking of the twigs under the 6 inch grass that had grown under the tree, but the rakes they had were leaf rakes and could not penetrate the grass properly."

"We had started a DIY bathroom installation. The demolition and start of the preparation was in progress, but it didn't take long to realize completing the remodeling would require a professional. My husband began a search, and we were very lucky to have found Shane. He came in, provided and very reasonable estimate, and began the work. The tile we chose was not the easiest to install. He gave educated recommendations on how to complete the design, which was extremely appreciated. As each step was completed, and I came home to see the progress, it was so exciting. The finished bathroom is beautiful. Shane's attention to detail, made a simple remodeling job, something that will certainly add value to our home. His tasks included wall tile, shower stall tile, floor tile, paint, plumbing installation and finishing touches of towel racks and fixtures. He completed all of these tasks with confidence and professionalism. I would highly recommend Shane for any remodeling job, and intend to continue to use his services for other jobs in the future"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you’ll have to just wait and see—if the drought occurs in wintertime, it’s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.

The lifespan of a bird's nest depends on the species. The building process can take from two days to three weeks. Once built, the nesting period for baby birds can last from two to ten weeks before they leave the nest. While most young birds are ready in two to six weeks, some predatory species may need up to two and a half months. Some species nest four to five times per year, so a nest could remain in use for several months. For specific information about a particular nest's longevity, it is best to consult a wildlife professional.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.
