"We had some crazy wind gusts and I noticed that one dead tree had cracked and was leaning and another dead tree had completely snapped. Did an 'Angi' search and found Lars Tree Service. They called me within 5 minutes of the request, came out for a quote within 60 minutes, negotiated a bit on price (we settled on $1500 total), had a truck hear within 2 hours of the initial visit, and had the trees down 90 minutes later. When reviewing the completed job, I asked them to move the logs because it was on my neighbors plot, it was no issue either. 10 out of 10 stars for the job they did for us."

"JJBM removed two trees for us. One of these was difficult - there was a power line through the branches, and it overhung the driveway. They did a great job. They took both trees down efficiently with no damage to our property, and the cleanup was thorough. The whole crew was pleasant and hardworking. I will use them again if I ever have another tree removal."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.

If a tree isn’t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.

Since summer is a busy time for tree companies, the cheapest time of year to remove a tree is during the winter. February and March are typically the prime time to hire a tree removal pro, and some homeowners living in colder climates can save around 20% off services. It depends on location and the company, but you can always shop around for the best deal.
