"Josh did an impressive job getting an old dead tree cut down. Dropped it right where it needed to go and was quick to cut it up and shred it. Definitely an honest and hard worker and did a turn key job. I recommend Josh for your tree removal needs!"

"Mr. Wright came to my door and asked f we wanted a bid on cleaning up our overgrown yard. I'm typically hesitant about the door to door people, but I am very happy I let him give me an estimate. I had planned to do the work myself, but it was very overwhelming and I wasn't sure how to even start. He gave me a very reasonable bid and started work 3 days later. His crew did a great job and asked exactly how I wanted things. The job took the guys about half a day and they also blew out my gutters. I will definitely be calling them next spring.

"They arrived early and got right to work.  They trimmed about 14 of our trees and pruned where needed.  They took a lot of mistletoe out of one of our biggest trees.  These trees are over our pool and they did a nice job of cleaning that up as well.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

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.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees.
