Q: What happens if you don’t stake a tree?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t stake a tree that needs support, it could be at greater risk of being damaged or failing completely, whether it uproots or falls over. That could cause damage to your property or other surrounding trees. If you want to grow healthy trees, you may need to stake them for best results.</p></div>

Q: Can you transplant all types of trees?

• <div><p>Most trees can be successfully transplanted while they are young, but pines, walnuts, and some oak tree varieties are more difficult to move because their root systems grow deeper than most other trees. Also, trees adapted to sandy soil with wide root systems like beeches, willows, and aspens are harder to dig out because their roots spread much farther out from the trunk. In these cases, unless the trees are very young and small, it&rsquo;s a good idea to consult a tree planting professional.</p></div>

Q: Why are dead trees considered dangerous or harmful?

• <div><p>Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.</p></div>

Q: Do large trees increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, healthy and well-placed large trees can boost property value by an average of <b>3% to 15%</b>. They improve curb appeal, offer energy savings through shade and wind protection, and are often considered by appraisers during home valuation. On the flip side, removing dead or hazardous trees can also increase value by eliminating safety risks. For the biggest return, choose low-maintenance, native species that thrive in your climate.</p></div>

"Quality was great. Service even better. Israel and team had finished trimming our tree and unfortunately we were not available to inspect. I contacted them later about some areas on the tree we wanted revisited. Unfortunately, they were on their way to jobs in Casa Grande. Israel drove back to west Goodyear from Casa Grande after finishing their jobs as the sun was setting to attend to our requests. And, he took extra time to educate us on maintenance after a long day. That is CUSTOMER SERVICE."
