Tree removal after the last storm, and who does landscaping?

Big dead oak leaning toward the fence after that line of storms last week. Also want someone to redo the front beds this fall. Hedingham. Recommendations for either?

Leaf & Limb, hands down. Certified arborists, they told us two of our trees could be saved with pruning instead of taking them down.

Arborex took down a huge pine over our house in Knightdale. Crane, the whole thing, and cleaned up like they were never there.

the lawn is fine

Wow, a crane. Did Arborex deal with any permit stuff or did you have to?

They handled it. I just signed and moved the cars.

DreamScapes did our front yard design and install. They have good ideas for shade and clay soil.

Leaf & Limb for the oak. Get an arborist to look before you cut.

Second Arborex, fair price for a scary job.

first house, many mistakes
