What method can I use instead of tree topping?

• <div><p>A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree. </p></div>

Q: What if I want to cut down a tree next to a power line?

• <div><p>Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it&rsquo;s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.</p></div>

Q: How much water does a large tree need per day?

• <div><p>A general rule is that trees need <b>10 gallons of water for each inch</b> of the tree&rsquo;s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier. </p></div>

Q: Can trees come back after a drought?

• <div><p>Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you&rsquo;ll have to just wait and see&mdash;if the drought occurs in wintertime, it&rsquo;s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.</p></div>

Q: Can you hire someone to move a tree?

• <div><p>Yes, you can hire professionals to move a tree. Arborists and tree transplanting companies specialize in this type of work and use equipment like hydraulic tree spades to safely extract and relocate trees with their root balls intact. Since tree moving is a complex process, especially for larger trees, it&rsquo;s best left to experts who understand how to protect the tree&rsquo;s health and ensure the safety of everyone involved. </p></div>
