"When a storm came through, a tree fell on top of our cars and left a huge mess. My neighbor had been using Matt with JH Lawn Care for years and told me to give him a call. I called Matt the next morning, explained what had happened, and he immediately headed our way. Even though it was emergency work, his pricing was very reasonable. My insurance adjuster actually had to move things around because Matt already had his tree crew on the way. They were at my house by mid-morning, and by that afternoon the tree was gone and everything was cleaned up. Matt and his crew were friendly, professional, and worked incredibly hard. They made a stressful situation so much easier to deal with, and I couldn't have asked for better service. I would definitely recommend JH Lawn Care to anyone who needs tree work or lawn care."

"Skyline was prompt on their timeline, looked over my project to be done and gave me an acceptable estimate. They were knowledgeable, professional and willing to answer questions. When they came to do the job they didn’t mess around, got right to it, got it done and thoroughly cleaned everything up. Communication was on point. We talked about some other projects that they may be helpful in the future. I’d definitely hire them again as needed."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Dying trees and even dead trees can spread diseases to other living trees. There are many different types of tree diseases, so it’s essential to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent the disease from spreading to other healthy trees. If the tree cannot be saved and is infected, you need to have it removed to protect the other trees on your property.

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

You should not trim an oak tree in the summer. Oak trees are especially susceptible to disease, and open tree wounds are an invitation for beetles that carry tree-killing fungus. If there’s no risk that the oak tree will do damage to your property or hurt someone, it’s best to save the trimming for fall or winter. If you can, seal the wound with latex to prevent fungus from getting inside.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.
