"Very professional. I needed a bunch of trees trimmed. I Called on Monday, got an estimate on Wednesday and the job was done Friday. A crew of five came out with professional equipment, worked really hard in the heat and did a beautiful job. The also mulched and removed all branches and left the yard clean. I would definitely use again."

"I had three companies provide a quote for trimming five trees and the removal of a really large oak tree. All of the bids were fairly close. I picked Gregâ s company because Greg provides a lot more consultation than just trimming trees. Greg will be your arborist much in the same way you have a dentist or a barber. Glad I picked Greg, his crew did a fantastic job at my house. They have all of the tools, equipment and expertise for tackling any tree related project."

"I called Luis after I received his information from Home Advisor, and he got right back to me. He was actually in the area on another job, and agreed to stop by to look at the job. He was right on time, and after seeing the job (which was taking down a tree in conjunction with a pool project) I received a fair bid -- and he was able to come back in the afternoon to do the job. His team was professional, efficient, and took away all debris. I plan to use his company for all my tree trimming and maintenance in the future. Finally, Luis put me in touch with an arborist he works with, who will support maintaining the health of all my trees."

"Brother’s landscaping did a fantastic job trimming HUGE trees in our yard and taking down an overgrown magnolia. They showed up on time, worked quickly (it was supposed to take two days) and cleaned up everything and took every single twig off the property and ground my tree well. While the owner was dumping a load the men took down some extra weeds in my yard. I will definitely use them again in the future."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.

DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.

Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they’re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

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.
