"Gil Tree Service was exceptional. Joel reviewed our project, submitted a fair estimate and provided tips on properly caring and maintaining our trees. He arrived on time and worked efficiently. He left the property cleaner than before he arrived. Additionally, he suggested purchasing bushes to define our property line. He went way above our expectations as he delivered the bushes and planted them. Joel is the real deal, he is honest and knowledgable, you will not be sorry using his service. I will definitely work with him again."

"I would like to give Coyote Tree Service at least ten stars if that were possible. They were amazing and will not hesitate in referring this company to anyone who needs trees trimmed or removed and brush clearing jobs performed on their property. When they finished the job my property was spotless. I will definitely hire them in the future. I was amazed at how reasonable their rates are. I could not be more pleased."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.

When a palm tree no longer produces new fronds and old fronds start turning yellow-brown, that’s a sign the tree is dying. However, transplanted palm trees can show these signs for the first several months as they re-establish themselves. It’s best to keep watering and not give up on the palm tree until a couple of seasons have passed and you’re sure it’s not coming back to life.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.
