"I hired Steven to reconfigure my existing irrigation system. We quickly realized that I needed more than that. I had non working & poorly placed sprinkler heads. Steven made sure that my system was not only effective but it was better than when it was originally installed. This job was in the middle of summer with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees. He worked all day in this heat & he took very few breaks. He is a professional, extremely talented & a hard worker. I have more landscape projects to do in the future & without hesitation I will have Steven do these."

"He did an absolutely fantastic job! I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He was extremely professional, hardworking, punctual, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of properly. He was incredibly thorough and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. You can tell he takes real pride in his work and actually cares about doing the job right, rather than just getting it done. He was also very friendly, respectful, and easy to communicate with. The quality of his work was outstanding, and I was genuinely impressed by how efficient and attentive he was. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and trustworthy. Absolutely 10/10 experience! I will definitely be calling him again for any future work."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

It will take you anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours per tree stump to grind and remove the stump from the ground. The larger the size, the longer it will take to remove the stump. Also, keep in mind that rocky soil may require local excavation services to loosen up large boulders before you can begin to remove the tree stump.

No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines. 

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes.
