"I had never hired a lawn service to take care of my yard. I always did my own. Andrew Guffey was the first person to reach out to me. He gave me a very reasonable quote, and added me to his schedule. He mowed my grass and trimmed. When he left everything was cleaned up. I already have plans for him to do my snow removal...I am very satisfied with Guffeys Lawn Care. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. Thanks Andrew!! Another perk is that you can pay him online. Super simple to do!! Can't get better than that!!"

"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

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

If you’re wondering why tree trunks are painted white in your area, it’s usually to prevent sunscald, a condition where extreme shifts in temperature can cause tree bark to split. Fruit trees are especially vulnerable to sunscald, so this treatment is worth considering if it’s something that affects your trees.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don’t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.
