"Jose did a great job doing a deep pruning on our 4 fruit trees, including a fantastic clean up of the trimmings. He came out within hours on my first contact with him to give me a quote for the work, and was back 24 hours later to do the job! Highly recommend!"

"Hired cutting edge to re-stain my kitchen cabinets and to repaint the entire kitchen. I am pleased with the work they did and would highly recommend to friends and family. They communicate well and even helped me with recommendations that I’m very happy with. The entire crew was on it. Reach out to them for all your painting and construction needs."

"Great service and knowledge. First, they responded to the HA request the next day. Scheduling and evaluation was simple and direct and prompt. Arborist doing the eval was very helpful in our walk through of our trees. He was clearly tree-centric. Bid offered before he left. Very good value. Second, scheduling the service was again responsive and simple. Just a few days between contact, scheduling and service. Third, they called the next day after service to be sure everything was completed and to my satisfaction. The crew doing the work was attentive and clearly understood the goals. The worked fast, but completely. I rated the quality at 4.5 only because there was some minor clean up issues. Finally, I've used Top Tree two times prior to joining HA. I was please to see HA had them as a recommended provider. I would use Top Tree again."

"My giant cherry tree fell over at 5pm and I called Brian for emergency tree removal. The next morning, he had a crew out to chop down and chip the tree. He then came out with the stump grinder and took care of the rest. It was all done by 1:00pm!! I cannot recommend Sound Stump more highly. I was in a situation where the rest of the tree could have fallen and done serious damage to property. Brian saved the day; the arborists were incredibly kind, conscientious, and helpful, which I especially appreciated in an emergency. This is an exemplary company. Thank you, Brian!"

"I wish I could attach photos. Words can't describe the hugh job I had for them. I sold our pool which left a hole in the ground 3'x26'. The job was to fill the hole and get it ready then lay sod. Carlos and his crew went to work. I was impressed with them. Great work no time wasted. Each tractor load of dirt was taped down before the next load was added. As I watched I decided to ask them to do another job on my pet run which is 50'x15'. They were to remove the old sand and then put down new weed barrier and new sand. They also did great job on the run. I also had them make two new gates. Again the job was well done. This company has hard-working boss and employees. Cleanup was perfect they left on telltale signs that they had been here. Oops they left one sign the most beautiful yard I thought I would never have again. I am very pleased and impressed with this company."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.
