"I felt like Thomas Potts did a great job grinding the stumps of two trees that had recently been cut down. He was friendly, professional, and timely. Mr. Potts communicated well prior to arriving so we knew when precisely when he would arrive, etc. The job was done efficiently and Mr. Potts chhecked on several occasions to make sure we were happy with the results along the way. The price was also very reasonable for the work done. I wouls defintely hire him again if needed."

"Foster's tree service did an amazing job, taking down a tree that was huge and very close to my house, and even ground up the stumps, especially the huge tree. They also did an amazing job cleaning up, even cleaned up the Stump grinding. I would definitely hire them again, and most definitely recommend them for tree removal. The entire crew was fast, courteous, and very thoughtful."

"After calling several tree removal/stump grinding businesses--one of them 3x, but they never returned any of my calls--Joseph, Elite Stump Grinding, called me. In this case, I guess, the 4th time was the charm. I explained the situation with an approximately 8.5" tree stump that needed to be removed. Based on my description, there were 2 options: 1) he could come and inspect the situation and then quote a price; or 2) he could give me a quote over the phone. There was no point in having him come 2x, so Joseph gave us a quote over the phone. The day we scheduled was the hottest day, with the humidex factor reaching 107 F. I was worried and called Joseph to note that I would be ok with changing to a different, cooler day. He assured me that he would be OK. In addition, I discovered that when I was removing dirt from around the stump, the root area was much more substantial than I had realized. As a result when he saw the situation, Joseph noted that it would take a little longer than he had expected. However, he did not advise us that he would have to charge more as a result of the additional work. He set up a protective barrier around the stump area, and got straight to work. Afterwards, he cleaned up and raked to provide a flat, even area. My husband and I are both very impressed with Joseph's superb work ethic, professionalism, and friendliness, and thankful that he went the extra mile. In fact, we gave him more than the quote to indicate our appreciation of these qualities, as well as the quality of the work he did. In addition, I am promoting Elite Stump Grinding LLC on my social media. Everyone should know about Joseph's integrity and impeccable work ethic. Thanks, Joseph!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Trees fell on my wooden fence. While talking to the owner Brenda, I asked if they could fix the fence also, which they did. As we talked, I realized they could do pretty much everything. We are getting ready to list our home and needed many things done (big and small). They saved me so much money because I would have had to hire different individuals to clean the chimney, fix fence, paint, etc. Everything they did was to perfection. Brenda cleaned my 28 year old deck and if you had a fork...you could have eaten off of it. It looked bran new. They patched a hole in my garage, built small steps out back door, power washed the house, cleaned out and fix gutters, filled in some cracks in porch and even tightened my shutters, and put new hinges on fence door. Not to mention the 3 huge trees they cut down and made woodchips of for us. Very reasonable and honest. She is there with the guys and they worked non stop. I cannot say enough about this company. This company was by far the best fix it company I have EVER hired."

"Molina's tree service did a fantastic job for us. Ethan showed up at the appointed time to do the estimate. The crew showed up a little early on the day they were scheduled to do the job. The crew was very friendly and responsive to anything I asked them to do. They removed two large oak trees using a crane to lift them over our house. They also removed several dead branches from other oak trees, some of which were quite large. And lastly they cleaned out about 15 to 20 smaller understory trees. They were careful not to damage my plants and shrubs, even though they had a very big job to do. All of this done with the utmost care and concern for the safety of the crew and our property. They not only cleaned up the debris caused by the work of the day, but they also cleaned up several piles of yard waste that had accumulated in the woods surrounding our property that had accumulated over the past few years. I would highly recommend Molina's tree service."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Jessamine Landscaping for some much-needed updates to my new home's yard, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final touches, Lex and his crew were absolutely fantastic. They were incredibly professional, communicative, and genuinely cared about making sure I was satisfied with every aspect of the project. They installed new sod for me, and it looks absolutely amazing! The team worked efficiently and diligently, transforming my bare yard into a lush, green space in no time. What impressed me most was their attention to detail and how clean they kept the work area throughout the entire process. They were respectful of my property and left everything tidy at the end of the job. Beyond their excellent workmanship, Jessamine Landscaping also offered a very reasonable price for the services provided. I felt like I received exceptional value for my investment. Whether you're looking for landscaping, irrigation work, new sod, or all of the above, I wholeheartedly recommend Jessamine Landscaping. Lex and his team are true professionals who deliver outstanding results. You won't be disappointed!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it.

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

Bradford pear trees bloom in early spring with small white flowers. They typically flower for at least two weeks. In bloom, these trees often emit a foul-smelling odor that’s often compared to rotting fish. Bradford pear trees will sometimes bloom in the fall due to drought or other stress-inducing conditions. 

A serrated knife will work for cutting off small palm tree fronds, about 1 inch in diameter. For larger fronds, you will need pruning shears. You may also use a pruning saw, and if your palm tree is especially tall, an extended pole saw can help you reach the brown fronds around the trunk.
