"They were very responsive. Came out and walked the job site with me to endure they were being responsive to my requirements. Gave a excellent bid and were able to do the job within a few days. The team arrived on schedule and completed the removal of bushes and removing several years worth of pinestraw and leaves (more than 10 Cu.Yds. -compacted). Work was completed ahead of schedule and pricing was very competitive. I highly recommend Matchless Blades Lawn & Landscaping LLC."

"They were quick to respond to my request for a quote & came the same day to give me a quote. They were prompt to arrive on the day scheduled for the job, did excellent work & cleaned everything up. We plan to hire them again in the fall for the removal of a sickly tree. We would definitely recommend this company to anyone that needs tree service."

"I hired ShoreFix to replace a gate closure across my driveway. The gate is only a year old, and not many contractors want to deal with someone else's work without starting from scratch. By the time Dustin arrived I thought I was well-versed in my needs and prepared for the unnecessary upsell. The concept of what I needed done was on point. However, the practical work had a few details missing. I didn't have pins that fit into the driveway and I didn't have a handle to open and close the gate. He didn't try the unnecessary upheld and was willing to do exactly the work I needed. I appreciate ShoreFix for taking on the small job when no one else would. I'm also appreciative that Dustin did great work at a fair price. Now, as I consider more fence work, I know who to call."

"These guys were fast, professional, and respectful of my property. They even secured both gates before leaving. I am so happy with the job they did. My budget was tight and they got the job done in no time. My yard looks absolutely amazing and the edge work was fantastic! They even blew off the hard surfaces leaving a polished job. Hire them! I plan on it!! Sincerely, A Happy customer!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.

Yes, burning wood with Dutch elm disease is a safer way to dispose of it than, say, tossing it in with the rest of your yard waste, which could potentially allow it to spread to healthy trees. But it’s always a good idea to check with your local government to make sure you’re complying with any ordinances about removing diseased trees as well as burning brush piles.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.
