"Alex and his team came to my property to remove a few trees that were far too large and leaning towards my house. They were able to drop the trees and their limbs with extreme accuracy. They cleaned up the job site very well. I would say they are very professional, talented and brave for climbing the way they do —and do prioritize and fully comply with safety procedures. Highly recommend! 5 stars *****"

"This young man has obviously been the recipient of tutelage well beyond his experience as he is wise beyond his years. He is very affable and is a very good listener. He is somehow able to grasp your vision beyond the words you can provide and create just what was in your mind. A fine young man who will probably become way too busy to work for you. Haha"

"They were amazing!!! Great price, professional, informative, and even helped me clear out another pile of branches that was separate from the job I hired them for. They were the only ones who kept in contact over all of the tree companies and were willing to do the tough tree removals another company said they wouldnâ t do."

"Peter Ryan did everything right. He responded promptly, and gave me his honest opinion as to what he was and was not qualified to do, And referred me to another professional for the piece of the job that he felt was not for him. Ultimately I hired him to do the installation of a large perennial bed which was completed in a very timely fashion and which came in exactly at quote. His rates are very competitive, and I was so pleased with his work and that of his associate that I have hired them to return for fall cleanup. I highly recommend Pegtons Property Maintenance service, and look forward to dealing with them again in the near future"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Leaf removal costs between $400 and $1,000 per acre on average. Nationally, the cost of leaf removal averages about $350. Cost factors for this project include lawn size, leaf removal method, tree density, location, and the time required to do the job. If your lawn removal service charges based on lawn size, you can expect to pay $0.02 to $0.10 per square foot.
