"I have no words to express my admiration for the professionalism of these people. We hired them for the second time, and they did a perfect job. They had to remove 7 70ft trees, some of which were dead and dried up, some leaning towards the house, and others diseased and infested with insects. The guys came with the necessary equipment and completed the work without any issues or damage to the property. They even cleaned up the yard afterwards. We were extremely satisfied and will hire them again when needed! Don't hesitate. This is one of the best and most professional tree removal companies in the state."

Customers say: True professional

"Pete and his crew were awesome! The area they worked on looks better than I could have imagined. It requiring climbing into a live oak and a mulberry to trim several very large branches. When I got home it looked amazing and they cleaned up so throughly that you couldn’t even tell they were here. In addition to the main branches that we discussed, they cleared all kinds of weeds and vines coming from the neighbors yard along my fence. They manicured a camellia that looks so great now from a weedy, overgrown mess. They also removed a medium shrub and a very large boxwood against the house. It all really looks so much better than I even thought it could! They were punctual and friendly. The final price was exactly what was originally quoted and easily worth the money for the difference they made. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again when I need tree work."

"I highly recommend ArborPro. Brad was great. He was responsive over the phone and communicated well throughout. He came out to the house and listened to our various needs in order to write up a quote that was very fair. We had a large tree down, some smaller trees and bushes, dead limbs removed, and stumps ground. He cleared a large area and graded it at no extra cost after realizing how uneven the surface was. A few hiccups emerged throughout the process, but he handled them very well. He and his crew hauled everything away and the place looked great after. Additionally, he gave me some advice on some things I can do on my own around the property. I would definitely have him out again."

"Usman and his team did amazing work. I had two very large trees removed and stumps ground. I called one day, they came out and provided me a quote the next day and removed the trees the following week. They were timely, efficient, and reasonably priced. We’re mindful of power lines and sewer water lines. 10 out of 10 would recommend"

"I had a great experience with Broadleaf Tree and Shrub. Blake arrived when he said he would, walked around my property with me, and discussed the various tree needs. He gave me an estimate on the spot, then followed up with a more detailed estimate via email. He was knowledgeable and professional. Blake and his crew showed up at the arranged day and time, took care of everything on the estimate, and cleaned up all debris. When the job was finished, Blake walked around my property with me again to review the work that had been done. I plan to have Broadleaf Tree and Shrub come out again to take care of further tree needs in the winter."

FAQs for tree service projects in Apex, NC

Professionals remove shrubs by first cutting back the branches using tools like pruning shears or chainsaws for thicker stems. They then cut the base close to the ground and dig around the root system to remove the roots completely, preventing regrowth. Finally, they’ll ensure proper disposal of branches and debris while complying with local regulations.

A bush stump will regrow if any portion of its root system remains. When even a small section of roots is left behind, new shoots emerge and regenerate the bush with leggy, spreading growth. Working with a professional landscaper ensures the complete removal of the stump and all roots, which is essential to prevent any regrowth, ensuring that the area remains clear and maintenance is minimized.
