Customers say: Super punctual

"Steve provides excellent communications with his customers. He was in constant touch with scheduling updates due to inclement winter weather. Finished the job up in two days between storms. Jay and the crew did an excellent job getting the trees down safely. They stacked up the firewood to be saved, ground up the branches and cleaned up all debris. They cleaned all the leaves and moss off the roof, topped off a tall Juniper and trimmed back overgrown shrubs and vines. Overall great job."

"We had a very large elm tree die this past winter. I got quotes from four reputable companies, and Hellmann's responded first and was the lowest, with the others 5 - 23 % higher. I selected Hellmann's on May 6, and they took down the tree on May 15 as scheduled. I was very impressed by how efficiently Ray and his crew worked. They were extremely safety conscious and careful to not damage an adjacent tree and the deck that they were working beside. All four men were always busy, and they did an amazing job of cleaning up the entire work area. I highly recommend them."

Brandon and his team are wonderful to work with. I will certainly call them for leaf removal, maintenance, as well as future projects. Highly recommend!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

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.

Pruning is an effective way to prevent a diseased branch from infecting the rest of the tree. If the infection isn’t caught early enough and the pathogen has spread to the trunk or the majority of the branches though, it is too late to prune off the affected areas and you’ll likely need to remove the tree.

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.
