Q: Can you transplant a tree to save it from construction?

• <div><p>It may be possible, but <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/transplanting-large-trees.htm">transplanting a large, mature tree</a> can be a tricky project, and some trees handle it better than others. If you have a tree you need to save and are considering transplanting it elsewhere, we highly suggest calling a tree removal service and arranging a consultation to see what they say (and how much a full transplant would cost).</p></div>

Q: Should I use a pruning seal for trees after trimming?

• <div><p>In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.</p></div>

Q: Do I need access to big trees to build a treehouse?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you&rsquo;re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/treehouse-builders/">local treehouse builder</a> before you start the project.</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.
