"I recently had Lead Saw Tree Service take out a tree from my yard, and it was such a breeze. They were super easy to deal with from the moment I asked for a quote to when they showed up on time and got the job done within the schedule they promised. It made my day so much easier and stress-free. I'd definitely recommend Lead Saw Tree Service for any tree removal job."

"Well at first I was skeptical, because of the lack of reviews. Unlike others who had tons of reviews and high ratings. Well, I called one of those with high reviews for a quote. They never showed up, but Jose from Goodview did show up. And he gave me a reasonable price to cut down a dying 30 plus year old tree and remove the stump. I was impressed by their attention to detail and how they work. I have a annoying neighbor constantly complaining about the tree. Amazed that all the over hanging branches were removed/cut without landing on the annoying neighbors yard (so impressed). Long story short my experience was excellent and have nothing but good things to say about Jose and his hard working crew. If I didn't have pictures that the tree existed, no one would believe me there was tree on my property. They cleaned and maintained my yard as if they were never here. Don't be fooled with the lack of reviews. call Jose you won't be disappointed. Take it from skeptical me, I live by them reviews and ratings."

"Trimmed three trees in our front yard. Our yard was cleaner than when they started. Great job. They were here and gone without any hiccups. Very reasonable price. We will be using them again in the future for sure."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trees are beneficial to the environment and wildlife. If you have an old tree, but it’s healthy, it may be best to avoid cutting it down. However, if it’s showing signs of bug infestation, disease, or is potentially hazardous, then you should contact a tree removal company to cut it down. 

If you are unsure whether you should have it removed or not, then speak with an arborist to determine what is best.

You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.

The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.

While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of interfering with overhead power lines. It’s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it’s essential to ensure your tree isn’t in danger of growing too close to them.

A tree branch should start to form roots in about three months. It can take about a year for a tree branch to develop roots strong enough to go in the ground. For best results, start several branches because, no matter how closely you follow instructions, they won’t all form roots. Compost any that aren’t thriving.
