"I am beyond happy with my experience with Crowder Tree Specialist. I have a very large Oak tree in my front yard that desperately needed trimming. They came to give me a quote on trimming the tree and also gave me a lot of information about tree care and what was needed to help my tree and make it flourish, They completed trimming my tree in 3-4 hours and it was absolutely beautiful. They also trimmed trees around my Oak tree to make it easier for my tree to get oxygen and light needed to grow properly. The team was great. They were quick and very professional, cleaned up the area of all debris from the trimming of the trees. They also helped me with overgrown trees in my backyard that were hanging over my fences and did a great clean-up job there as well. If I have any future needs they will be the first company I will call. I am a very happy client and I very highly recommend them."

"David did a wonderful job on my trees on multiple occasions. I do not use anyone else when I need tree work done because I do not trust my buildings and home to anyone else’s hands but David’s."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

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.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.
