"1F Tree Services They are AWESOME! The ownerJeff was extremely knowledgeable, professional and very considerate about my timeframe for trimming my trees that had become very overgrown through all the rain recently. Even though he was busy, and scheduled me after the holiday, he came quickly because of the heavy overhanging limbs on my tall heavily leafed trees with his crew and all his modern equipment to do a very professional trimming of my trees in danger of being removed. He and his crew are efficient and hard workers. After he worked his magic, he had saved my trees turning them into beautiful healthy trees that will be enjoyed for many more years. He assured me that after they worked on my trees I will be very proud of them and I am so grateful for their excellent arborist knowledge and professional work ethic, their moral principles, of honesty, openess and their form of conduct knowing I could completely trust them with my beloved trees. Thank you Jeff and 1Tree Professional Tree Services!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.

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.

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.

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.
