Q: How can I ask my neighbor to cut their tree?

• <div><p>Ideally, you&rsquo;ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you&rsquo;d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners&rsquo; association or local authorities, if applicable.</p></div>

Q: How do you get rid of poison oak vines on trees?

• <div><p>Poison oak is similar to poison ivy in that it's in the same family of plants. Poison oak is identifiable by its rounded-off leaves and hairy leaf texture. Tree-climbing varieties live primarily in western states while low-growing poison oak bushes occupy the eastern states. Treat poison oak like poison ivy to get rid of it permanently.</p></div>

Q: When do leaves start falling?

• <div><p>It depends on where you live&mdash;but in most areas, leaves begin falling in September and continue falling until January or February. Warmer regions, such as Southern states, may see leaves fall a bit later in the calendar year. It also depends on the type of trees in your yard and their maturity. </p></div>

Q: Does a tree removal company need to be insured?

• <div><p>Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers&rsquo; compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an &ldquo;Angi Approved&rdquo; badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.</p></div>

Good job fixing the problem. But, like most service companies, wanted to add on services I feel I did not need. Charged me an extra $75 to replace a frayed cable that took about 10 minutes. Good guys but be ready for the sales pitch for extra services you may not really need.
