"They trimmed off the dead branches of several tall pine trees and removed some dangerous oak branches, as well as cut down 3 dead oak trees. They even moved my gazebo to a safe location before cutting the oak branches above. They were very contiencous and did it all in a day."

"Although I hired a different team to complete the job, David from Lord’s Light Logging & Tree Service came to give me a free estimate on the work I needed done. He was on time for the consultation, professional and thorough with the quote he provided, even itemizing each part of the job upon my request. He gave me and excellent quote that was very fair for all the work I needed done. I will consider this David and this company for my future tree service needs as I believe the value for the service they provide will be hard to beat. David was also very easy and pleasant to interact with. Thank you David for making the trip down to give me this excellent quote."

"Reliant Tree Service was amazing! I requested a quote through Home Advisor Friday evening and Jonathan responded immediately. He came out the next morning to provide a quote for removing a tree, 2 stumps and 6 bushes, as well as grinding the stumps and roots. Jonathan and his 3 brothers were able to start that day and got all of the work done within a few hours! They were all very kind and hard working! We now have a clean slate for our yard and plan to have them help us with our irrigation and landscaping!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

Deciduous shade trees (the type of trees whose leaves fall off in autumn) need to be pruned in late winter—between February and March. That’s because it’s easier to find and remove sick or dead branches when no leaves are present. And wounds close and heal faster in colder temperatures so pruning them at this time also makes them less prone to infection.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.
