"It went perfect! I have been using him for 5 years and I have never had a problem. He has trimmed my trees in the past as well. He also planted some drought resistant plants for me so I can see some color in my yard. For me they have always been very honest, they have never taken advantage of me."

"Dwayne and his crew did an awesome job in removing a very large pine tree that was growing next to my house. It was very tricky on removing the tree with power lines in the way but they cleared all and did a great job of cleaning up. I thank them for an awesome job! I would and will recommend them for all tree services! Thank you!"

"Clyde Smith was able to go to one of my properties in Burbank and removed the tree and cleaned up the entire mess! He was very professional and did the job in great time. I was shocked that he cleaned up the mess which included sweeping. He filled up the garbage cans and even took the cans to the street for us! I will definitely be using Smith Timber Falling & Tree Service for all my tree needs. I have used Clyde Smith before at another property where I needed palm trees removed! I have the same experience and with this one he went to our home in Las Vegas to do the work."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to identify wood and determine which types of trees are in your yard. 

Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!

Stump grinding consists of removing the visible part of the stump, but the roots remain intact. Depending on the tree and root system, the roots may still grow after stump grinding. If you are concerned about root growth and damage, you may want to consider having a stump removed completely.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

It is good to spray water on a Christmas tree to help keep the needles hydrated. Spraying a Christmas tree with water prevents dryness, stops needles from falling off, and reduces the risk of fire.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
