Should I cut down a dead tree?

• <div><p>Cutting down a dead tree is always strongly advisable. Aside from being an eyesore, a dead tree can be extremely hazardous, especially when it’s near people or structures. Even if the tree isn’t near your home, it can still harbor pests and diseases that can potentially spread to nearby plants and homes. </p></div>

Can stump grinding be bundled with tree removal?

• <div><p>A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip. </p></div>

Q: How do you know when an oak tree needs to be removed?

• <div><p>You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.</p></div>

Q: How long does a bird's nest last?

• <div><p>The lifespan of a bird's nest depends on the species. The building process can take from two days to three weeks. Once built, the nesting period for baby birds can last from two to ten weeks before they leave the nest. While most young birds are ready in two to six weeks, some predatory species may need up to two and a half months. Some species nest four to five times per year, so a nest could remain in use for several months. For specific information about a particular nest's longevity, it is best to consult a wildlife professional.</p></div>

Q: How do you prune and shape a plum tree?

• <div><p>Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They&rsquo;ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.</p></div>

Panola Treeworks did an excellent job cutting down 2 trees that were in horrible rotting condition over a house and storage. They were prompt and very professional. The price was very reasonable when compared to other quotes. I would certainly use them again and refer them to anyone needing tree...

They were late, because they came all the way from Memphis to service me in Arkansas. They were kind respectful and they stayed busy until the work was completely done. And the price was reasonable, it fit my budget fairly.
