Q: Can I remove a small tree from my yard?

• <div><p>You can remove a small tree from your yard if there&rsquo;s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You&rsquo;ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.</p></div>

Q: How much can you trim a tree without killing it?

• <div><p>Generally, you&rsquo;ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree&rsquo;s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it&rsquo;s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.</p></div>

Q: Should you water a tree before transplanting?

• <div><p>Make sure the tree roots soak around a day before you dig the tree up for the transplant. Keep the roots wet while the tree is above ground. After the transplant is finished, provide consistent water every day for the first month or so. You don&rsquo;t want to overwater the tree, but you do want to keep the roots wet so they can thrive in their new environment.</p></div>

Q: Can cutting a tree's roots cause it to fall?

• <div><p>Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.</p></div>

Q: What does a maple tree look like in spring?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

It is the most meticulous thing I have ever seen. They saw a leg was dangling from my dining room table before I did, so they fixed it right away. From their meticulous attention to detail, I could tell they were proud of their work.

"Contacted Tru Cut and they gave me an estimate within 24hrs. As I requested (hoping more leaves would fall), they waited one week to do the work. We have a steep driveway with water run-off "ditches" on either side that go behind the garage and down to the lake. They cleaned the ditches, our driveway/parking pad, and the back yard. The job was excellent. Will definitely hire them again.
