"Very professional. Came and gave a quote that was lower than the other quotes I received. Came on a Saturday and was finished with the job in 3 hours. They trimmed 2 trees pruned 2 trees cut 1 tree down and ground the stump. Ground roots from 1 tree pruned 2 trees and cleaned up and hauled trash. I would definitely recommend them for your tree service. Great job guys"

"I was highly impressed with Stump to Stump. Riley came to my home and provided me with a fair estimate for the work done. When he arrived to complete the job he was on time and provided quality work. He tackled some challenging stumps in my backyard from old trees with extensive roots. I highly recommend his services."

"I recently hired Sam?s for landscaping and couldn?t be happier with the results. From the first consultation, the team was professional, punctual, and clearly knew what they were doing. They listened to exactly what I wanted and offered great suggestions I hadn?t even considered. The work itself was top-notch ? clean, detailed, and finished on schedule. My yard has never looked better, and several neighbors have already asked who did it. Pricing was fair and transparent, with no surprises along the way. I?d highly recommend Sam?s to anyone looking for quality landscaping done right. I?ll definitely be using them again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Your local government is usually in charge of pruning trees on public property, and the power company is responsible for trees near power lines (even if they’re on your property). Whether or not they top these trees depends on their approach to pruning. You won’t be able to do much to control this, but you can contact them to find out more about their pruning process.

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.

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall. 

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. 

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.
