"Outstanding work. We have a medium sized maple tree that had lost several big branches toward the top. They removed the dead wood and trimmed the rest of the tree to strengthen it against further wind damage. We were extremely pleased with the quality of the work. The tree looks great, much better than we had expected. We can highly recommend this company!"

"D&D Tree Testimonials About us Gallery Contact D&D Tree Tree Service Open today until 7:00 PM GET QUOTE Header image for the site TESTIMONIALS a week ago Hired these fellas to grind down a number of aspen stumps. They were ontime, diligent in their work, cleaned up afterwards and price was reasonable. I recommend them. ? - Rocky i 3 months ago They did an excellent job on our fence! I would highly recommend this company. - Kathy M 12 hours ago Daniel was responsive and accommodating from the first phone call! Once Daniel and his crew arrived with all the equipment they needed to remove 3 large pines, and a dead ash, we knew we chose the right company. Every single gentleman that worked at our house was professional, funny, and so obviously well experienced. Watching the teams work was like watching a symphony, they were all in tune with each other, and anticipated the other guys moves. They were very detail oriented, and worked so hard to protect all the areas that needed to be. They took every scrap away, and left the job site almost better than before they arrived. We are so pleased, and will definitely hire them again! We have more trees, and definitely landscaping that needs to be done! Thanks to ALL of you for an exciting Saturday, and a super job well done! Jocelyn and Alvin"

Customers say: Quick response

"I will echo what the other reviewers have written. Very competent, hardworking crew. Completely removed 2 trees - 1 huge leaning pine - and left fences, irrigation, and other landscaping untouched. Ground up the stump in the lawn. Shaped and trimmed three other trees away from contact with powerlines. Amazing to watch the climbers work! Immaculate clean-up afterward. We would hire them again without hesitation!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

Although the terms tree trimming and tree pruning are used interchangeably, they are very different types of tree maintenance. Tree trimming involves enhancing the appearance of your tree by removing unruly branches, providing your tree with ample sunlight and nutrients and prevents unsightly overgrowth. 

Tree pruning helps keep your trees disease-free. This process removes unhealthy growths, dead branches, and other unhealthy parts of the tree. It’s more common for deciduous and ornamental trees but not so common for evergreen trees. To determine which method you need, discuss it with a tree trimming specialist.

Not every arborist climbs trees, but most will do so if that’s the best method for assessing or treating a tree. Arborists have a variety of tree climbing gear and safety equipment to choose from when climbing trees. Consult your local arborist about their tree-climbing plan if your service requires that type of task.

A few signs a tree may be dead is if the leaves are dead and there are no signs of new blooms. You can also perform a scratch test on some of the branches to check the condition of the cambium layer beneath the bark.

If it is green, it is still alive, but if several are dry, brittle, and brown, the tree may be dying or dead. Always consult an arborist before assuming your tree is dead because you may be able to save it.

Homeowners are usually not responsible for trees that fall on power lines. Power companies usually have utility easements around power lines, which give them the responsibility to maintain any trees within about 15 to 20 feet of the lines.
