"They were excellent and very professional. We didn't end up using them due to my chemical sensitivity but they do organic fertilization. The woman spent a lot of time going over our yard and getting us an estimate. We were going to try it but when I looked up one of the pesticides we would have had applied because of weeds in the back, I am not able to tolerate it. I compliment her because she wasn't trying to make a sale. She told me that I should not do it because of my health concerns. I was impressed that the cost for the organic application was a lot less than a traditional lawn treatment. I would recommend them 100% and give them A's across the board."

"We have ordered the season's applications and had the core aeration done to lessen the compaction from the heavy winter snows and had the application for premergence of crabgrass. We'll see how that all goes. There was some mistake with the tech coming to do the aeration on a particular day and not being here. We had to notify the company and have that service re-scheduled. I don't know what the mixup was. I would have hoped the company had called me to inform me that they had to re-schedule."

FAQs for trees & shrubs treat, protect and maintain projects in Freeland, MI

The optimal transplanting season depends on your tree species, but most trees respond best when moved during dormancy. For deciduous trees, late fall after leaf drop or early spring before bud break provides the lowest stress periods. Evergreens transplant better in early fall or late summer when soil temperatures remain warm enough for some root growth. Avoiding transplanting during active growth periods helps trees direct energy toward establishing new roots rather than supporting foliage.

While technically, trees of any size can be transplanted with the right equipment and expertise, practical considerations limit what's reasonable for most homeowners. Trees with trunk diameters under 15 inches are most commonly transplanted in residential settings. Success rates decline as trees increase in size and age, with specimens over 24 inches in diameter presenting significant challenges and costs. For large trees, carefully weigh the substantial investment against the potential benefits and survival probability.

Most transplanted trees require one to two years to fully establish in their new location, with larger specimens often needing additional time. During this establishment period, the tree regenerates roots that were inevitably lost during the move. Signs of successful establishment include normal seasonal growth patterns, healthy leaf development, and reduced dependence on supplemental watering. The quality of aftercare during this critical period significantly influences long-term survival rates.

Self-transplanting is feasible for small trees with trunk diameters under two to three inches if you have proper tools and follow correct techniques. However, medium to large trees require professional expertise and specialized equipment to ensure tree survival and property protection. While professional services cost more initially, they achieve much higher success rates and prevent potential damage to your property or the tree itself. The investment in professional services often proves worthwhile when considering the value of mature trees.
