"I have to say they were very nice to work with. When they came out to give me a quote they were very professional. I told them what I needed to have done then we discussed other options which made it a lot better. When they came out to do the job they were on time. The job was done very well. When they cleaned up the branches after cutting them down, they also check my neighbor’s yard to get any branches that may have fallen into their yard. I will use them again in the future. I highly recommend Benitez Tree Service."

"They called the next day and yesterday came out to measure our yard. We had a great deal of vines covering our fence all the way around the fence. They got straight to work and before we knew it they had completed the job. We are very satisfied and a job well done. We will use them to maintain our front and back yard. Thanks again."

"Leaning cedar tree that I was a little skittish to tackle due to proximity to the house. Put a request into Angie's List last night, talked to them today at noon, at 4:00 pm they showed up, 4:05 pm the tree was dropped. Quick, cheap, efficient. Couldn't ask for more. Not only did they perform professionally, but then took over an hour to talk about other tree removal estimates, neighbor's trees that need to be cut, family, Jesus, you name it. I only spent $200, but he treated me like I'd spent $10,000. Definitely recommend."

"Very Professional and Intelligent, JP Tree Service and his crew are the best tree service this side North Eastern NC. I would highly recommend. When the job was completed you couldn't even tell there were trees previously there. Yard was completely clean and no debris was left behind. Amazing job. Hands down the best service I have ever experienced. ?????"

"Thank you for cutting our lawn. Matchless blades did a great job and we appreciate his hard-work. We asked for our grass to be cut short and he did just that. He took his time to make sure everything was done correctly. We look forward to our next lawn cut"

"They do good work if you can get them to your house. Their scheduler seems very confused. I hired them to clean my yard in November for 4 weeks. The first week I gave them a check for all 4 weeks. The second week they did not show. I called their office and someone came out that day. The second week was the last I saw them. With the holidays and a family illness I did not contact them until February. I informed them they owed me 2 more visits and that the check had not been cashed. She said she did not have the check to stop payment on the check and she would send them out for another visit. I stopped payment on the check, a $20 fee to do so and the workers never showed. She called me in March and said she had found the check. I again asked for them to come and clean the yard, they never showed. I am done. The most frustrating part is that they are on my block every week. They do great work when they come they just don?t show up. I guess you need to be a yearly customer."

"Dreamscape Designers are amazing! We just had our front yard transformed into a beautifully landscaped oasis. They truly exceeded our very high expectations! Tom met with us and listened very carefully to our wishes and drew up an amazing plan. The work was completed on schedule, and we were in constant communication with the Dreamscape team. We had a large project, with old trees and shrubs removed and replaced with palm trees, cherry trees, assorted shrubs, grasses, perennials and annuals. In addition, we had our landscape rocks & mulch refreshed. The landscape crew was very professional and were a pleasure to have working at our home. We are so pleased with the results and highly recommend Dreamscape Designers for all of your landscape needs."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they’re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.

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.

There are a few differences between tree guying and tree staking. Tree guying requires anchor stakes that are shorter and stronger than regular stakes and are driven deeper into the ground at an angle away from the tree. Tree staking uses longer stakes that are set parallel to the tree and are used for smaller trees. Consult a local tree professional to determine which method is best for your tree.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.
