"The guys were amazing! Respectful, clean, and quick. They scraped out the entire backyard in two days, and laid sod in one. We've had this same company do tree removal and sprinkler work in the past. We'll always use SLC Landscaping."

"Brian Miller and his crew were great! They showed up as scheduled, did a great job of removing a tree and grinding the stump, took off some other branches on another tree when we asked. When they left our yard was cleaned up. A very professional, friendly, hard working group of guys. Would hire these guys again."

"Mark really saved us. We had a very large tree that was splitting and needed to come down before it fell down. He was able to start the work promptly and he had a big crane come to lift the majority of the tree (in sections) over the house. All was done safely. He was busy and the weather did not cooperate well; so, I did have the feelings that he promised a bit more than he could do. He tries very hard to "get to yes" and that does generate a little difference between what he says he can do and what he can do. However, this difference is small. The big picture is that he was able to jump right in (couple of days, prior to storm) and I think he saved us a disaster. The final bill was significantly higher than the bid, but we did have him do somewhat more than was defined in the bid. Our next door neighbor also had him do work, and she was happy with the result. Working with Mark was good. I would use him again. We had urgency in our project so we didn't have time for a lot of comparative bidding. We had one other company come, but they never gave us a final bid - due presumably to the difficulty of getting our very large tree out of our yard, on a hill. (Mark used a huge crane to do the work, "110 ton" type.) We also had power lines near that tree; so, another issue requiring caution. A third company came (a large and well-known company) but they did not arrive to even give us a bid until we had agreed to have Mark do the work (storm coming, tree needed to come down). So, I don't have any great information on the comparative bid situation. Anyway, I would recommend Mark and Acorn Arborists. I would give 5 stars (and cheers) except that there was a little tendency to lead us to expect somewhat more than he could deliver (in terms of time and cost). But again, the weather was not cooperative."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

Dead tree branches should be removed, because they can cause the tree to lose nutrients. They can also make the tree more susceptible to disease and pests. Removing dead and diseased branches can help the tree recover and increase the odds of saving a dying tree. Make sure to prune the tree correctly to avoid damaging it further.

Grinding down a tree helps reduce the risk of foundation damage and pests and even helps your home’s curb appeal. Stumps can also be a safety hazard. If grass grows above the stump and someone else mows your yard, they may be in for a rude awakening when they accidentally hit it.

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.
