Frequently Asked Questions

Are estimates free?

Yes, estimates and quotes are completely free. However, we sometimes charge a small fee for in-depth consultations.

What is wrong with my tree?

Diagnosis is a part of our services. Send us a picture with some information about the area to help us diagnose the problem.

When is a good time to prune my tree?

This depends on the species and the amount that needs pruning. Fruiting and Elm trees should be pruned in the fall/winter.

When is the best time to plant trees?

Early to mid-fall and spring, as soon as the ground is thawed, are the best times. Planting trees in the summer months may cause undue stress to the tree due to excess heat.

How often should I water my trees?

Trees should be watered 1-2 times per week around the drip line, only if Mother Nature is not providing enough moisture. Not enough water can stress a tree out, and a stressed out tree can attract infection or disease.

When should trees be fertilized?

Fertilizer comes in many different formulas to meet the specific needs of different tree species. Once the appropriate formula has been determined, the spring or fall is the best time to apply fertilizer.
