"Fast and efficient. I had to cut down a large tree, as it was 75% dead and I needed some trees in my back yard trimmed that were above my roof. They cut down the tree very quickly, chopped it into smaller pieces and hauled it off. They also hauled off all the branches that were removed in my back yard. Then, they raked up any smaller pieces! I wish all contractors that I have and will call were as professional as these guys. Danny is also a nice guy."

"DR Bob treated my tree for Dutch elm disease, as well as my shrubs for spider mites, and black spot. Definitely cheaper than replacing all my shrubs, which I was preparing to do. Prompt and professional. Fingers crossed, this works!"

"They called to set appointment the next day after I chose them on AL and came the next day to assess our needs. We had a drainage problem causing potential damage to our foundation. A solution was presented and the work was scheduled to begin in a few days. They were there right on time, and finished the work exactly as described in the planning phase. They were highly professional and knowledgeable in their work. The finished project was so much more beautiful than I imagined. I have the utmost confidence in these gentlemen and have hired them for an additional job to repair brick that is cracking up and pulling away from our house. We were very fortunate to have found them when we did. Thanks so much Brothers Landscaping!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on tree height, trunk diameter, removal complexity, and required equipment.

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

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.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

Full decorating services often provide rental trees for their Christmas packages, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding one. However, individual interior decorators and others may not offer rented trees, so always check the specifics of their services before booking. Keep in mind that you’ll need to prepare the Christmas tree for pick-up shortly after the holidays.
