"Really wonderful and especially safe execution of the task. Very professional, Lead man was mindful of special instructions and requests. I got some firewood out of the deal! Haul off was exceptionally well done. Driveways and side walks cleared of saw dust etc. Would definitely hire again. My poor Spanish came in handy but wasn't necessary."

"Jake was fast and efficient. He was willing to do whatever I wanted and was most helpful in suggestions. He removed a ginormous mesquite tree and cut some of it for fire wood (for me) and hauled the rest off. All while it was 100 degrees outside!"

"John and Christina are two of the kindest and most hardworking individuals that I have done business with. They kept in touch with me throughout the whole process and always called, texted, or alerted me to what was happening and occurring at all times throughout the project. DeShawn and Juan did an excellent job on my landscaping project. Both gave meticulous attention to all the details of the projects and answered all of my questions throughout the whole process. I will DEFINITELY use them again and highly recommend Williams Street Nursery to anyone considering lawncare, landscaping, or other yard projects. Brian S."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

The best time to prune Japanese flowering cherry trees depends on where you live and the type of flowering cherry tree. Some trees benefit from being pruned toward the end of winter or early spring, after the last freeze. Meanwhile, other trees do well after blooming, in late spring or early summer. Avoid pruning your flowering cherry tree in the early winter, as this encourages open wounds that can lead to infections or infestations. 

Yes, burning wood with Dutch elm disease is a safer way to dispose of it than, say, tossing it in with the rest of your yard waste, which could potentially allow it to spread to healthy trees. But it’s always a good idea to check with your local government to make sure you’re complying with any ordinances about removing diseased trees as well as burning brush piles.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

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.
