"This company did just what we agreed on for trimming my very large old tree. He completed the job earlier than promised, and at the quoted price, which was MUCH less than what another company had quoted me. I recommended him to a friend who has already hired Lee for another residential job in the neighborhood."

"Rosheen Faison and his crew were great to work with - from start to finish. Came to offer a quote in a very timely manner (same day, as I recall), then sent a reasonable quote, scheduled the job for a month out. Then let me know they could do it on a date two weeks out, so we scheduled for an 8:30am start. They arrived at 8:20 and got right to work. Limbed a few large trees using ropes/climbing & bucket truck. They left me with some great firewood in 4' lengths, then chipped and removed the rest. Excellent experience all around. Rosheen is so good at his craft that he makes you want to be better at your own. Highly recommend."

"Sean (owner) most responsive of all landscapers I contacted on this list BY FAR. I know it is their busy time of year but he made an effort to get my  business and stay in touch
he sent 3 guys with a crew chief (Dan) that were professional, hard working, courteous and very careful with their work. they checked in with me throughout to make sure I was happy with how things were going and asked if there was anything else I needed
Yard looks great. Would definitely use again

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It’s possible, although a lot depends on the cause of damage and what steps you take. If the remaining parts of the maple tree are alive and not under attack by disease or pests, they can often be saved even if large portions of the maple tree have died. Frequent watering, careful pruning, mulch, and any recommended fungicides or insecticides can all help with survival.

An unsafe tree can cause serious damage to your home and property, so tree inspections are important to ensure your home isn’t in danger from a nearby tree. Unhealthy trees can also be unsafe trees, as diseases and insect damage can compromise a tree’s stability, leading to potential damage and safety risks.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
