Customers say: Quick response

"Their foreman Steven showed up on time and gave me a very decent quote for what I needed (tree trimming, fallen limb removal, and dead tree removal). I went ahead and hired them. Steven and his team showed up on time for the service date, but a storm rolled in while they were working. They left due to lightning, but the front desk , Ellen, called me to let me know they would return to finish later that week. They returned on time too, and finished the job. They even left me 2 bags of potting soil to cover tracks in the shared yard I have with my neighbor after my neighbor requested it. Steven and Ellen were always very professional and courteous, and Ellen was prompt with communication. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

"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

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 exact answer to this question depends on which region of the country you’re talking about, but according to various tree counts, some of the most common types of trees in the United States include red maple, Douglas fir, quaking aspen, loblolly pine, and sweetgum.

Removing tree stumps is a dangerous and complex job that requires a high level of expertise. Many landscapers specialize in general lawn care and maintenance. But, some may have the proper licensing and qualifications needed to safely remove tree stumps. In most cases, though, landscapers will refer you to a local tree removal or stump grinding company.

For Bradford pears, damage from storms is common, and if the trunk splits, it can pose a danger to people and surrounding structures. The best thing to do in that instance is to have the tree removed. If there’s only minor damage to the branches, pruning away the damaged parts is the first order of business. You may also want to consult a professional arborist to make sure the tree is healthy.

There are several signs that may indicate a tree needs to be cut down. These include visible damage to the trunk or branches, a hollow trunk, extensive storm damage, or a significant lean to one side. Other warning signs are pest infestations or the tree growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures. It is best to hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree, as they can determine if it can be saved or if removal is necessary.
