"Mike and his team at Highlander Tree Service recently removed a maple tree from a steep incline location. From the beginning of communication with Mike, he was friendly, knowledgeable and very efficient with immediate cost information. He not only quoted the price, but offered to do other helpful tasks with a willingness that is so refreshing. Mike and Nick worked this process with skill and such carefulness in the surrounding area and also the clean-up process was impeccable. I highly recommend their service and work ethics. Thank you, Highlander Logging and Tree Service!"

"Greg did a fantastic job for us. He ground up 4 tree stumps and even went above and beyond by grinding up a bed with huge blackberry nodules and ground cloth. We can now plant in this bed. He’s great to work with, pleasant and professional, prompt and a good communicator. I’d hire him again in a minute!"

"Professional and flexible. They were incredible. I had to change the scope of the project when they were actual doing it. They accommodated three changes and they did not over charge me even though they knew I could not go elsewhere. I highly recommend them for the value too. The other quotes I obtained were almost double."

"Great Job, was able to change day and show up for an earlier date to get a quote. We decided on a reasonable price for the work that day and started work two days later. They stated the work could take 2 days but they finished in one day and got it all done. We were very happy with the final product. We will do services with them again."

"George did a fine job on my current project! Completely replaced damaged and wet rot framing on the front end of my mobile home including the window with a quality solid wood, caulking, prime and paint. It looks wonderful! Winter doesn't stand a chance now. Great communication throughout, on time, knowledgeable, friendly, polite and very easy to work with. He answers every question and gets to work! Everything is clean. Professional work, timeframe and cost are reasonable. I'm so pleased and impressed with the entire process and final result! I will gladly recommend JD Maintenance and Repair to anyone needing home maintenance and repair services. It was a pleasure and will be ongoing!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

Usually, trees cannot grow back after their stump has been ground, but some very hearty types of trees can. For example, if you have a black locust or Redford pear, the grinding will need to go deep to prevent them from growing back. Ask your tree service or stump removal expert whether your tree can resprout after its stump is ground down.

Trimming your palm trees once or twice per year keeps them healthy and robust. Caring for palm trees includes cutting off brown leaves to prevent wildfires and pathway obstruction. However, you don’t want to over-trim the palm tree. Cutting too many branches off will weaken the tree and prevent future growth. And it’s essential to have a strong, healthy palm tree during hurricane season to prevent safety risks or property damage.

Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.
