In this project, we transformed a bare dirt area by using Blue Ice stone in the corner. Along the patio border, we added Delaware River Jack to seamlessly connect the entire stone bed around the pool.

"Excellent work! Great price! What else can you ask for. They did a great job cutting trees down in a small space without damaging my property. They cleaned up after themselves and left my yard looking great! They were responsive to my communication with them and they showed up on time. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of any type of tree trimming services."

"The crew was scheduled to arrive at 8:30am but was delayed until 11:30am. They completed the work in about 3.5 hrs. They were very professional and efficient. We did not do stump removal. They did a good job of cleaning up the area of twigs and wood chips after the job. I thought they provided a good price and did a great job."

"I am so pleased with the work performed by Gordon. We contacted him for an estimate on removing a few trees and trim some others in our yard. He contacted us and personally came over to give us an estimate. He knows his trees. He has done this work for 30 years and it's a family business which we love working with small family businesses. We had an ill apple tree - it was not maintained prior to us purchasing the home 8 years ago. We tried to prune it, figure out what ailed it. A number of arborists (other estimate providers) agreed that it was beyond hope and to remove it. We also removed a smaller apple tree (for pollination). We have mimosas which are the weed of trees. I love them for their blooms (they attract butterflies, bees and hummingbirds), but they are so intrusive. Gordon pointed out that one of the mimosas was possible causing an issue with our home due to their roots. We had him remove 2 mimosas and trim a third one (I wanted to keep one for the blooms & bees). What really impressed me was one of the other trees we wanted removed turned out to be a honey locust which Gordon told us was healthy and we should keep it. We did. His price was very fair and reasonable - included the stump removal as well. He was able to come out the following week and complete the job. He told us he would call us sometime the beginning of the week (we were flexible). Gordon called me the day before and asked if the next day was a good day to do the project. Worked for me. He called me in the morning of our appointment to confirm and gave me an estimated time of arrival. He called before the ETA and said he would be delayed and updated his arrival time. They showed up and had the entire job completed in less than 3 hours! These guys were amazing to watch and constantly going. I was impressed. They completely cleaned up the debris - looked even better than it did before they arrived. I highly recommend Gordon! I was completely satisfied with his work, the communication, his knowledge and his professionalism."

"I highly recommend Horizon Landscaping. They were extremely responsive and knowledgeable from the project design and quote all the way to completion. I made several changes in materials and design partway through and it was no issue for them. Their workmanship is excellent and their workers are courteous, which was important with neighbors being close to the worksite. They even came back at no cost after the project was completed when I requested some changes after a big storm. I plan on using them again if any new projects come up!"

"I hired Baumann's Lawn and Landscape to fix my front lawn. The soil was mostly clay and sand and covered in weeds. They killed and removed all the vegetation, tilled the soil, brought in new topsoil, conditioned/fertilized, and then laid sod. The crew was fast, efficient, polite, and did an amazing job (hopefully this site allows me to upload photos after writing this). The work was done in 3 separate days and took less than 2 weeks from the initial phone call to the finished installation. The price is what you would expect for this level of work and that much sod (sod is not cheap). They're not over-priced but it's not Bob's discount landscaping either. You'll get your money's worth for your project. Baumann's will be my #1 choice for future landscape projects."

"Called for Daniel Ross the arborist to come reevaluate a large tree in front yard. Last June 2017 a large branch had split off across my front yard and driveway. The branch covered the sidewalk, part of the street, and knocked over my mailbox. He pointed out where the tree had joint problems and suggested treatment to try and save the tree. It was a large maple and very full, giving shade to front of house and side deck. This spring half of the tree did not have leaves or leaf buds. Daniel Ross came back and agreed that the tree was not healthy and needed removal. I signed a work order on Friday 5/4/18 to have the tree removed. Expected to have it done the following week, but called Friday 5/11/18 and was told my tree was not on the schedule yet. Told Tracey how worried I was because of the weather forecasts for storms and the tree was half dead. Monday 5/14/18 Tracey called just before 10 am and said the crew would be at my house shortly, they were on their way. By 10:20 am they were here and at work. The equipment included a large chipper/shredder for the smaller leafy branches, a small bulldozer to move the large logs to a large open truck, and a bucket truck. One man in the bucket worked from the top of the tree down with ropes on the parts being cut to control their fall. Men on the ground moved branches to chipper/shredder and cut up larger logs to move to the larger truck. The work went very smoothly and they were finished and the front yard cleaned up by 12:30 pm. Later in the day there thunder storms, rain, and high wind gusts in the area and I was relieved that the large tree was not a danger to my house or anyone walking or driving by. The price was higher than my neighbors had paid another tree service to take down a tree in their front yard but they did not have the equipment that Ross Tree Service has and their tree took a full day to get down where Ross got my tree down (which was taller) in approximately 4 hours."
Ross Tree Service owns a bucket truck for the more complicated jobs. We also contract a crane company with a highly experienced crane operator.
Ross Tree Service has several stump grinders.
Ross Tree Service has experienced climbers who can free climb and also have plenty experience with crane jobs and emergency response.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

It will take you anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours per tree stump to grind and remove the stump from the ground. The larger the size, the longer it will take to remove the stump. Also, keep in mind that rocky soil may require local excavation services to loosen up large boulders before you can begin to remove the tree stump.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

Stay inside or well away until the storm passes. Don’t go outside to inspect the tree until the weather clears, especially if the tree is on a hill or isolated in a field. Lightning often strikes the same easily-accessed places multiple times, and you could be a new target. If a lightning strike causes a noticeable fire, alert emergency services. When the storm is over, take a closer look to gauge the damage done.

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.
