"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 *****"

My name is Jordan Wright, I was born and raised in Vermont, graduated high school from Brattleboro Union High school, and attend Castleton University now Vermont state University and played football there. I graduated with an undergraduate degree and a masters degree. I also currently still coach football over at the college. \n\nNow for the business! I have always had a passion for landscaping and working out doors! It wasn’t till I worked for the town of Brattleboro doing landscaping for them when I fell in love with mowing and the perfection that comes along with it! Fast forward to college I worked for a company local in Rutland! And man my love came right back! Fast forward to now! I am ready to take the big step of running my own company! Where our values are paying attention to the details, treating everyone like they are family, and leaving your lawn looking the best in the neighborhood! \nWith all that being said this marks the first step to achieving one of my goals!

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

It's easy to misidentify trees that appear to be maple trees due to similarities in leaf shapes. Sweetgum, sycamore, and yellow poplar all have leaf shapes and appearances similar to maples. The fact that around a dozen maple tree varieties exist, only about half of which are considered common, makes misidentification an often typical occurrence.  

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.
