"We had several trees removed from our hillside backyard and hired Marty's Tree Service today. Four very efficient men showed up on time and completed the work, plus did extra spruce up as an added bonus. After the work was completed, they meticulously cleaned up, leaving our yard so much better than when they arrived. They worked together as a team, which we feel is very important quality. We recommend Marty's Tree Service to anyone needing tree removal or manicurist. They will go above and beyond for you."

"They came that evening and looked at our job and gave us a very reasonable quote. The other tree services did not bother getting back in touch. We called them back the next day and setup a time for the job to be done. They were at our home promptly at 7:00 , cut 4 trees down , stacked the wood and cleaned up and were finished in 2 1/2 hours! They were very good and knew their job! Our four trees were threats to our home . They brought them down with no damage to our property! We would highly recommend this crew of 4 guys to anyone! We will definitely use them again!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

Using Epsom salt to kill a tree stump typically takes between six and 12 months. While this may seem like a long time, it is significantly faster than the natural decomposition process, which can take up to seven years. This method is a viable DIY option for stumps that do not pose an immediate hazard. If you need a faster solution, you can hire a professional for stump removal or grinding, though this may cause more damage to the surrounding ground.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

If an arborist is certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the highest level of certification available is ISA Board Certified Master Arborist. According to the ISA, this credential is reserved for arborists “who have reached the pinnacle of their profession.” Check your arborist’s credentials before hiring to confirm their level of training and expertise.
