"We had an overgrown tree that was damaging our fence, along with several other trees that needed removal. I received the quote on Tuesday and they came on Wednesday and had the entire job completed before noon, including a 30 foot tree, large pine tree, I don't even know how many quakies, grinding down the stumps AND hauling everything off. Great communication, nice guys. We'll use them again for future projects."

"Carey and his team did an incredible job. We had a significant project on our hands - needing to install drip watering zones and lawn sprinkler zones on a 1/4 acre. We needed to remove grass and level the yard, move a shed, install bark, sprinklers, and sod. Carey's team got it done in a week! They kept the jobsite clean, and even the city drove by and gave their thumbs up. The landscaping looks beautiful and the sprinklers are working well. Carey even had the team come back the next season to help with some pressure regulators. Carey has good experience and knows how to get things done efficiently. I think Carey has a wide breadth and depth of expertise and would be good to work with on large jobs like ours and I am sure smaller jobs too."

"Humble Beginnings was hired to weed and trim bushes and remove a tree in my front yard. No work had been done in my yard for over a year. They were incredible; they did a fantastic job, all without damaging any existing flowers and plants. They actually trimmed all the dead wood off another tree, which was certainly not part of the agreement. They arrived at the agreed time and never stopped working. They kept me informed throughout the process and asked questions along the way as needed. The work was completed in one day, and they cleaned up after I had done a final check and made sure it was to my satisfaction. I would recommend Humble Beginnings to anyone needing an excellent job. I will definitely hire them again if ever necessary"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.

Trees should be pruned every two to five years, depending on its age and type. Young trees should be inspected and pruned every two to three years. Mature trees should be inspected and trimmed every three to five years, and fruit trees should be pruned annually with a careful eye on seasonal growth. Evergreens typically don’t need pruning, unless branches or limbs are damaged, diseased, or harboring pests.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Ivy eventually kills trees by restricting its growth, blocking sunlight, absorbing nutrients and water from the soil, and weakening the tree. Trees with ivy are more likely to experience diseases, pests, rot, and fungi growth. When ivy weighs down tree branches, the tree is more likely to break during a storm and cause damage.
