"The gentlemen from Molina's Tree Service were professional, capable, friendly, fast, and careful. They chopped up and hauled away a very large oak that fell in our backyard. And, they were careful not to damage our lawn in the process. I will absolutely call these folks again if needed and highly recommend them to others."

"J & C Tree Experts were great. They are a great company and do a professional job. They made sure that every little detail I wanted done was complete and did not leave until the job was finished. They walked with me from tree to tree as I showed them EXACTLY which Limbs needed to be cut off or just pruned back. The did stump grinding for the tress that were removed and cleaned up all limbs and debris that has fallen during the work. I can safely say that the PRICE was GREAT compared to other companies I saved at least $2000 and they did an exceptional job. I liked them so much I paid them extra because I felt they earned it! I highly recommend J &C Tree Experts to anyone looking to have trees, removed, trimmed, and stump grinding. They are the best Thanks, J & C for a job well done without any hassles. Mrs. Infinger"

You could not even tell the trees were ever there. I loved that the Owner was on site. The entire crew was polite and respectful. I would highly recommend C & G Tree Service! Thank you."

"JD is a stand up guy. His company works fast to get the storm downed trees off my house cleaned up. Even difficult ones. Crane could not access the location so he said they would have to take it down old school. Impressive to watch how they accomplished this. Tonnes of tree safely handled with a great deal of knowledge and finesse. I highly recommend his service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). 

Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning how to get rid of regrowing tree roots is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. 

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
