Stump & Tree Removal

Trees provide significant benefits to our homes and cities, but when trees fall and injure people or damage property, they are liabilities. Recognizing and reducing tree hazards increases the safety of your property and that of your neighbors. Some hazardous trees are best removed. If possible, plant a new tree in an appropriate place as a replacement.

FAQs

Will it harm my tree if I have limbs removed from it?
When long branches are removed from the tree, the flow of vital nutrients concentrates within the trunk of the tree itself. This not only makes it grow stronger, but helps with plant disease issues as well. Very often, professionals will recommend tree trimming as a part of a health treatment. If the tree that is trimmed bears fruit, the next harvest will be rich.

Can you kill a tree by cutting branches?
One wrong cut won't immediately kill your tree, but pruning incorrectly or too often can.. Keeping the branch collar intact helps make sure the wound properly seals after being pruned, but if it's injured, the wound could get infected by decay fungi that could further spread within the tree.

When should I have my trees pruned?
Different types of trees react differently to pruning but professionals recommend pruning trees and trimming limbs back throughout during the late fall and winter months so that the tree will sprout off new and healthy limbs during the upcoming spring season. The Arbor Day Foundation suggests pruning or trimming trees once per year during the dormant season, which can vary depending on the species of your tree.

How do I know when a tree needs to be removed?
Typical signs to look for when deciding weather or not a tree needs to be removed are; Bark falling off the tree around the base or main trunk. Leaves missing or not present on the tree during the spring and summer months. Visible pest infestation or disease throughout the tree. Visible damage to the main trunk or larger limbs from outside forces weather it be another tree that has fallen onto the tree or damage created from lightning.

I just planted a new tree. How do I care for it and what should I do to protect it?
If you want your tree to grow healthy and strong, some routine care is required. Young trees have a very sensitive bark. This means they are very vulnerable to any kind of damage to the trunk. In order to protect your tree’s trunk from all sorts of damages, consider using a tree wrap. You should keep your tree wrapped for at least three years. As a general rule, young trees grow better without staking. However, if wind or other weather damage pose a threat to your tree, then you should stake it for the first two years. If you are planting your new tree during the summer months a water bag should be installed around the base to ensure that your new tree is getting the hydration it needs to grow and survive the dry summer months.

I have always done my own yard work however my schedule is not as predictable as it once was. Daniel's team came in and worked side-by-side to get the job done timely, neeatly, and cleaned up after themselves. They all worked very hard and the results are fantastic.

We had a paver patio installed in our backyard and we love it! Daniel was easy to communicate with and the guys did the whole backyard in just a few days. We got to pick between a number of patio pavers options and they did a really great job! We had them come back to also clean up the front yard as well!
