"Very courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. They truly love what they do, and it shows! Arbor Care pruned seven 45-50' tall Leyland Cyprus trees and completely removed one. They did a great job and removed all debris. We will definitely use them again and recommend them to others."

"Kevin and his crew were on time..professional and friendly. They were very careful taking down the trees we wanted down and trimming all the limbs from the other trees we wanted done. Once they were finished they cleaned all the debris from the yard..I will gladly give them an excellent review and in the future when and if I need them again I will definitely use them. They all feel like family now."

"C & E responded to my request for tree service and came to assess the project on the same day I posted it. Carlos came to my house at the end of his work day and walked the property to gain a thorough understanding of what I needed. We executed a contract, and he and his crew arrived the next day and removed 2 trees, a deteriorating wood fence, shrubbery and overgrowth, and trimmed another large tree. Everything was completed as agreed at a very reasonable price. I am thoroughly satisfied and will continue to use their services."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.
