"John performed the work as a tree surgeon. His every move was perfect, both in the trees and on the ground. You couldn’t ask for a better tree service. Plus his prices can not be beat."

"Greiner Scapes did an awesome job on the two large trees in our yard that desperately needed pruning. Maclaine (owner) was amazing to work with. Kind, responsive, reliable and very fair pricing. It is apparent he is very knowledgeable and skilled in his field. Truly just an all around genuine person and I am so happy to support and promote this new small business. I was not only impressed with his work, but also, the immaculate clean up of our yard after. We had a lot that needed done, so naturally lots of leaves and branches left behind, but after he and his crew were done with clean up, it was like no one had ever been here. I will / already have recommended this business to friends and family and will absolutely use them in the future for additional needs. Thank you Greiner Scapes !"

"They are focused on masonry work and are knowledgeable. They volunteered photos of prior work giving me confidence. Brick repointing is expensive as I learned, the prices can vary a lot. I found their cost estimates reasonable and clearly from specialists in this kind of work. Overall happy with the work done, dealing with individuals."

"A thoroughly professional experience from beginning to end. Everyone we dealt with acted/responded promptly, showed up on time with a can-do attitude, and did what they said they would do. When the crew doing the work realized they could not get their equipment through our rear neighbors' narrow driveway (as the estimator thought they could), they immediately came up with a different plan, to do it from the front. This they carried out amazingly fast--and safely. They finished the job to our satisfaction in the allotted time despite the change in method. We then made a mistake on the check we gave them. Ashley in the office caught that and called the next morning."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

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.

Burning a tree stump can be effective, but it comes with safety considerations and isn’t always best for every situation. It's essential to check local regulations and assess the safety risks involved. Stumps that are near wooden structures or other non-moveable flammable objects aren’t good candidates for burning due to the risk of the fire spreading. Alternatives like grinding or a DIY stump rotting project might be safer and quicker for getting the job done.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.
