"We hired Josh to cut down and remove two very large dying trees on our property. The trees were located very close to power line so we wanted to make sure we hired the right company to remove the trees safely. Josh was able to take down the trees safely and removed all of the debris. He showed up on time, as scheduled and worked tirelessly to finish the project on schedule. He left the property looking much better than we expected. We were so happy with the tree removal that we hired him to return to help us with our apple orchid. The apple orchid is an old orchard and has not been trimmed in probably 20 or more years. Josh was able to open up the trees. We’re we’re able to harvest apples for the first time since we owned the property. As an added bonus, we had a tree that we weren’t sure what it was. After Josh trimmed it, we got the first plums ever. I entered them in the local county fair and we got a blue ribbon! Josh is honest, hardworking, and will complete your project as promised with integrity. Need I say more."

"From management down to work crews, by far they past my expectations. I had three other company bid for a very difficult job. I have a feng shui. Garden that was around 4,000 sq ft or more of space. Grass365 was not the cheapest, Turf was great quality They had incredible reviews and lots of experience. As the old saying says, you pay for what you get and I was not taking any chances. The job came out fantastic. On the long run, the savings in landscaping/ water/ sprinkler maintenance, this job will pay it self in three years, itâ s all cruising after that! You canâ t go wrong with this outfit!"

"Alex and his crew did a great job removing two large trees that were partly rotted, which made the removals especially challenging. He is reliable and provided good customer service."

"Isaac and his crew were very professional. Any questions I had were answered promptly. They were very efficient and paid great detail to every aspect of the project. I had them prep for a pad for my home, some drainage work and also installed my mound system. Very satisfied with the quality of work and would recommend to everyone. Ypu want the job done right the first time Isaac and his crew are the ones to go with."

"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"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Trees aren't big fans of moving, and they do go into shock during a transplant. Although most carefully thought-out tree transplants see the tree recover from the shock just fine, there is always a risk of having an unsuccessful move. Proper preparation, timing, and diligent aftercare are crucial to minimize the risks when transplanting a tree.

Large, established tree branches won’t grow roots, but if you find a young tree branch that’s less than about a year old, you’ve got a shot. Put it in water or soil as soon as possible for best results. You’ll know the branch is viable if it’s about the thickness of a pencil and has some leaves or needles.

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.
