"They have done a wonderful job maintaining the lawn and are east to work with. I also hired them to trim the large oak tree in our backyard that had branches hanging over the roof. They did a great job of trimming, cleaning up all the branches and gutters and hauling everything away. I highly recommend them!"

"Me and my family were impacted by hurricane Beryl which caused a tree to fall on our house and puncture the roof in several areas. We contacted several tree removal companies and they were all stating that it would be about a week until they could get to us. On top of that most were charging $5,000 plus. To us that was an egregious amount because we had a tree also fall on our house back in May and was a fraction of that price. Mr. Cole and his team came out and removed the tree in what seemed like 30 minutes. The area where the tree hit was by a bunch of windows and they completed the job without causing any further damages to the structure or the windows. Mr. Cole and his team was very thorough about what needed to be done and following through by completing the task. Their demeanor and attitude was more like family helping you through a rough time and they were exactly who we needed at that time. They were the cheapest price we came across out of the six or so companies we called. I have already recommended their services to several friends and families. This is what a business should look like and treat people like. God speed to their company and the heart behind their actions."

"The service was excellent! Fast, well-priced, and left my property looking ten times better than it was! I would absolutely contract with them again. In fact, I plan to soon! I was putting a home on undeveloped land that I had cleared of some major trees, leaving stumps and major root systems right in my front yard. I contacted Riley, and they responded early, got to work right away, and pushed through multiple hours of work in the middle of summer with speed, efficiency and professionalism. When they were done, you could hardly tell there had ever been trees in my yard! If you’re looking for good work done quickly and with respect and care for your property, you should absolutely use this service."

"We’re currently remodeling two bathrooms under the same contract. The first bathroom is complete, and the second one just started this week. While their bid wasn’t the lowest we received, it felt fair and, in hindsight, definitely worth it. The project manager was an excellent communicator—knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and never pressured us to accept the offer. We’re extremely pleased with the quality of work on the first bathroom and are confident the second will turn out just as well. A tip for future clients: make sure you have all the necessary materials on hand. We did, and the team completed the bathroom ahead of schedule. The space is narrow, so the photo angles don’t do it justice, but I hope they still give a sense of the high-quality work delivered."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

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.

Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.
