"Jeff's Lawn Care sent three workers to re-work an over-grown flower bed. The workers dug out three bushes from the area and removed the existing landscape fabric, rocks, and mulch. They then planted two small shrubs. They covered the newly-cleaned area with mulch and dug a hole for a small tree that hadn't arrived yet from a Pasco nursery. The workers were polite, showed up when they were scheduled, and cleaned up their mess when they finished. They were careful not to disturb the underground sprinklers. They returned a few days later and planted the small tree. I was disappointed that no amendments were added to the newly un-covered soil before planting and mulching. The workers were not provided with any soil amendments, so obviously they did not know that task needed to be done. I thought that task was part of the bid. After the workers left, I re-planted the two new bushes, using amended soil that I created. Later, I told one of the owners that I was disappointed about the condition of the soil. I was told that it is only necessary to amend the soil in the locations where items are being planted. But the workers were not told to do that, and were not provided with the relevant material. I was charged the bid amount for the work, although it took two tries to get the bill correct. I like this company and employ them for a number of on-going services. I just wasn't totally satisfied with this particular landscaping job."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No, you cannot throw branches from your neighbor’s tree back into their yard, nor can you discard leaves or other plant matter that originated from their yard back over there if it happens to land in your yard. You are responsible for cleaning up plant matter that made its way into your yard.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000 per tree, depending on size, location, and accessibility.

No. Most of the time, suckers are only a sign that the tree is experiencing stress. However, they can also be the canary in the coal mine, letting you know that something else is stressing your tree. If you have lots of suckers on your tree, calling in an arborist or a tree care expert is always a good call to determine the cause and develop a solution that de-stresses your tree.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.
