"This is a phenomenal tree service and Arborist. They do fabulous field work. Andy has been taking care of my trees for years. I also have fruit trees that he has helped me with. I cannot say enough good things about the work they do. The crew is hard working and extremely professional. I rely solely on Strobert's Tree Service to care for my trees. Andy is spot on when it comes to pricing. The very first time he was out for an estimate he noticed a strangulating root which was killing one of my trees. He went to his truck for some tools and took care of that root instantly - at no charge - and saved my tree that I did not even know was in trouble. Also, we had an ice storm recently and Andy was able to save my favorite 60' Pine tree. Branches were freezing and dropping to the ground. They did a procedure called "re-balancing" and actually weighted the tree in specific areas until it could take hold - and it is surviving as well. His pricing is spot on as well. I strongly recommend Strobert Tree Services as this is a true professional."

"We had 7 trees that needed removal as they were blocking our entire house and growing into our siding. I spoke with Joe about getting a quote, and he came to our house in under an hour to give us a quote. The quote was extremely fair, so we decided to hire TLC. Joe and crew came THE NEXT day, removed all 7 trees in just a few hours. He got rid of all the debris from cutting down the trees, blew our leaves, picked up leftover fruit dropped from our trees, etc. He and team did an amazing job, and now, our house is viewable and safe again! It was super impressive, and we are thrilled with the work he and team did! Thank you TLC Tree & Landscaping Care!!!"

"100% satisfied. Had contracted with a less expensive option who decided they did not want to show up and work. Bradley @ Blue Cord had given me a quote but I was going cheap. After firing the first company Blue Cord was able to come out the next day and do the work. Superior equipment, top notch customer service, and friendly smile, makes this a for certain hire next time. Check out their website, give them a call and don't look back. I have never been more pleased with an honest and professional contractor. Well done."

"Everything went well with this job, from when we initiated contact with the company's rep to the final day of work with the crew that came out. They were professional, clean, efficient and catered to my needs. It was a crew of three workmen and they were not loud or disturbing in any way. There wasn't a day that went by that they did not clean up after themselves. I requested that they dig up some of my perennials that I wanted to save to transplant and they were happy to help. I had used them for work in my front yard and because they did such a nice job, I called them again to complete the work in my back yard. I would highly recommend Plymouth Nursery for any hardscaping needs."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.
