"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"

"Cory and his crew called back, came by and cleaned up 2 medium sized stumps 21” and 17” diameter. Both stumps were sticking up like giant sore thumbs. Now my yard has nice flat spots and ready for grass seed . He’s very communicative and professional, and oh so reasonably priced. I’m keeping his business card bc when I need him next, Schwake will be the first one I call. I highly recommend him for yard cleanup, tree care, and storm damage removal."

"Spent this morning with Bruce and Brian from B&H Tree Service from Portage. They did an AMAZING job removing a tall, dead oak tree that was crowding a lovely white pine and threatening the water pump and propane tank area. Had the best equipment to lift and place that huge thing on the ground. Then proceeded to cut all the wood to "splitter size" for us, then cleared the branches and leaves from that tree and another huge branch that came down in another area. SO Satisfied with their work. Highly recommended!"

"They carefully removed a tree limb that had fallen onto our neighbor's shed, which--thanks to Mother Nature and Canopy's diligence--did no damage to the shed. They then removed the dead tree and ground out the stump. They cut down quite a bit of the dead tree into firewood for us. They also consulted on what to replace the dead tree with so we didn't lose shade or green, and advised us on an elm tree. Clean up was thorough despite the size of the job. I highly recommend Canopy.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.

Removing tree stumps is a dangerous and complex job that requires a high level of expertise. Many landscapers specialize in general lawn care and maintenance. But, some may have the proper licensing and qualifications needed to safely remove tree stumps. In most cases, though, landscapers will refer you to a local tree removal or stump grinding company.

In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.

Stump grinding consists of removing the visible part of the stump, but the roots remain intact. Depending on the tree and root system, the roots may still grow after stump grinding. If you are concerned about root growth and damage, you may want to consider having a stump removed completely.
