"My husband and I are extremely blessed and grateful for the opportunity to have met Rubin from A & R Tree Services and his Crew. We had them remove several trees from our property and the work they did was absolutely amazing. Rubin, along with his crew are very professional, respectful, and extremely hard working. They gave us a very reasonable estimate and the work they did was absolutely beyond what we expected. This is a â Greatâ company and would recommend them to anyone!"

"If I could give this company 10 stars I would. Wow. There is so much to say about this wonderful company. They came out the next day. Were prompt courteous and completed the job the same day. The workers were like machines. I have never been so impressed at a tree company before.They were very reasonably priced as well. In 30 years of hiring contractors this was the gold standard of companies. They were neat, did a FABULOUS job. Cut down two trees in two hours. Cleaned up afterwards and my yard looked amazing. I highly recommend this professional company. I will for sure hire them again and again. Great Job!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.

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.
