"We are very pleased with the landscape repairs and sod installation completed by Extreme Lawns. work was completed as promised and for a reasonable price. Brad even went the extra mile to ensure our new sod was monitored and watered while we were away for a short period of time right after installation."

"Central Wisconsin Excavating (CWE) did a fantastic job on our project. They built a solid, well-prepared foundation for our 80,000-bushel grain bin and graded our driveways perfectly to ensure water drains away from our buildings. Their attention to detail, quality of work, and professionalism really stood out. The site was left clean and properly finished, and everything was done right the first time. We’re extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend CWE to anyone needing excavation or site work done right."

"He did a great job! We had Six huge stumps on a hill With the cable TV wire buried among the stumps. He was very careful to not hit the wires, yet very thorough in getting out all of the necessary stump material. He took away all of the debris and filled in all of the holes with dirt."

"We have used A+ Lawn Care for a number of years. Was thrilled when they added the tree and arborist services. They showed up today to 'clean up' the sucker growth on 2 very large Honey Locust, a crab apple and a cluster of mulberry trees. As always the crew that showed up, were prepared to work, did their work, cleaned up after themselves. In this case, I reminded them we had concrete decorative curbing around 3 of the 4 trees. Installed by A+ Lawn Care but buried in the snow. They carefully cleaned the snow off the curbing so they knew where it was. No damage done. We weren't so lucky with another tree company - and there was no snow then. Our experience with A+ Lawn Care and now A+ Tree & Arborist were great. I have recommended A+ Lawn Care a number of times and will do the same for A+ Tree & Arborist"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

Palm trees are unique in that their roots don't grow straight down; they grow horizontally. Typically, palm tree roots go down between 12 and 36 inches deep. The roots grow far and wide from the base of the palm tree to absorb as much water and soil nutrients as possible. In addition, the horizontal roots are also very strong—keeping palm trees stable and helping them sway during storms.

Trees are beneficial to the environment and wildlife. If you have an old tree, but it’s healthy, it may be best to avoid cutting it down. However, if it’s showing signs of bug infestation, disease, or is potentially hazardous, then you should contact a tree removal company to cut it down. 

If you are unsure whether you should have it removed or not, then speak with an arborist to determine what is best.

DIY pruning is possible for small trees and shrubs with basic tools. However, for larger trees, more hazardous removals, or to ensure proper pruning techniques are used, it is recommended to hire a professional for safety.

DIY home gardening can be relaxing, joyful, and cost-effective. From mowing your lawn to planting your own flower beds, there is a wide variety of gardening tasks that you can do yourself to make your yard look beautiful. If you’d rather spend your time not in the dirt, or if you’d like someone to take care of your plants for you, calling a professional gardening service is best. They can give you a workup of what services you’ll need and how often to schedule them.
