"This is a great kid with amazing work ethic. I hired him to cut the lawn of an elderly woman who can't do it herself, and working 70 hours a week I couldn't find the time to get over there. Steven has great prices and gets it done quickly. I will be continuing to use his services as long as he's available."

"Scott Brandt did a demolition and hauled away a shed and leveled the area. He showed up when scheduled and did a great job! Also, took down a tree and hauled away and cleaned up after. I would recommend Scott anytime. Fair price and great to work with."

"Let me start by saying that this is the 2nd time this year that I have hired Al's Moving and Labor so although I am NOT a fan of moving in general and what that takes on, I am a fan of Al's Moving and Labor.  Al may not tell you he worked for many, many years for a national moving company and he may not tell you that he is formerly military, but he and his crew are well trained and know what they are doing and are really precise with the detail you need on your moving day.  I am a meeting planner, and it's all in the details and the level of service.  Have you ever had your items shrink-wrapped or paper-wrapped?  Amazing amount of care in their work.
The morning of my move, I got another confirmation call from Al.  When crew arrived, I knew one of them from my move six months ago.  The truck was loaded in 40 minutes and when we arrived at my new location, the  and crew unloaded into a storage unit on site and into my new apartment.  If I changed my mind on where I wanted the furniture placed, they were only professional, patient and kind.
If you are a single middle aged person like me whose friends all are over 50 and have bad backs, do call Al's Moving and Labor for great service and a job very well done.  Buy local.  Call Al.

"Excellent! The Team (3-4 Men) was diligent, efficient, polite and hard-working. They left the site immaculate. Their work has already received compliments from neighbors and others. The Supervisor visited the site to evaluate the work done; he, too, was very professional. I hope to work with Jorge's Landscaping again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

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.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.  

The Christmas tree type that smells the best to you will ultimately depend on personal preference. But if that classic Christmas tree smell is important to you, choosing a type of tree known for its scent is a safe bet. Try a balsam fir for a spicy, comforting scent or a Douglas fir for a sweeter smell. You may also like Fraser firs, Scotch pines, and blue spruces.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees.
