"We contacted Osmin at Escarate's Tree Service. He came out and we walked around with him and told him all the things that we wanted done. He surveyed everything and gave us a quote, which we accepted. They came on time - early, actually. They did remarkable work. We could not be more pleased. We wanted several trees trimmed/thinned out. They are arborists, not tree choppers. After they finished, one of the men took me around to see what all had been done. Everything looks great. They left everything looking better than it did before they came. We are very satisfied, and would hire again."

"Excellent experience. I had to have two huge eucalyptus removed. Gilbert's bid was fair and that he's thoroughly insured was most reassuring. But what sealed the deal was not feeling I had to hire an arborist diagnose the problem because Gilbert is so knowledge. He not only told me the reason the trees had to be removed but was able to show me the proof. The crew was efficient, hard working and impressive. I also felt I was working with a very honest person. Happy to recommend Gilbert's Green Essence."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

It’s possible, although a lot depends on the cause of damage and what steps you take. If the remaining parts of the maple tree are alive and not under attack by disease or pests, they can often be saved even if large portions of the maple tree have died. Frequent watering, careful pruning, mulch, and any recommended fungicides or insecticides can all help with survival.

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.
