"If anyone is looking for a company to lay sod, I HIGHLY recommend these guys at N&l Landscapes! I got a bunch of quotes from 10+ other local companies and these guys were one of the lower quotes. They weren't the lowest, but I could definitely tell they had the best customer service and were the easiest/fastest with their communication! Which, in my book, is always worth the extra cost! The new lawn looks amazing! They were able to grade the entire lawn to make low points higher to avoid puddling, and they managed to cover tree roots that were sticking up! I'm already telling everyone about them!"

"Jason is the kindest person to work with. He gives a really fair price consistently, the best price around honestly. He does the work well, he is responsive and humble. Please hire them if you're considering having tree work done. I recommend them to everyone. He knows his stuff and even has other contacts for further projects he will be glad to provide to you. We initially hired him as a company to have a tree removed by some powerlines, then hired him again to remove 7 more trees and trim others. I recently bought a house and plan on using him and his crew to assist with needs I have there as well! Please hire Jason for all your needs!!!"

"Russ was a pleasure to work with. We had grading done in our backyard which was ruined by another contractor who extended our back porch. Russ gave us a detailed plan on what he was going to do and and he completed it really well. Even after a few days he came back and fixed some minor issues. We will definitely call him again if we need any more projects done. I would highly recommend Russ."

"Hired this team for large tree removal and trimming project. Could not have been happier with the results. Once they could get the schedule aligned they were courteous and diligent to stay with the job and see it through to completion. My main praise is based on the clean up. Having used other tree removal services - I am overly happy with the clean up for the entire project. Strongly recommend John Thompson and his team!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.

Palm trees are unique in that their roots don't grow straight down; they grow horizontally. Typically, palm tree roots go down between 12 and 36 inches deep. The roots grow far and wide from the base of the palm tree to absorb as much water and soil nutrients as possible. In addition, the horizontal roots are also very strong—keeping palm trees stable and helping them sway during storms.

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you’ll have to just wait and see—if the drought occurs in wintertime, it’s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.
