"The Arborist group responded first and arrived first. Their quote was the best too. They all asked what I wanted but TAG did it. It was completed today as well as the clean up. Both trees were trimmed to my satisfaction. They removed all the trimmings too. The 4 men were friendly, appropriately dressed and used safe first in their endeavors which is important to all of us. I highly recommend the TAG. ( The Arborist Group)"

"We called a day after tree fell, and Mitch Drake, the owner, was able to come out and give us a quote that day, on Sunday. Hurricane Dorian was due sometime the following week, so he said he would try for Monday or Tuesday. He called on Monday and said he would be coming 8:30-9:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning. He showed up on time, and they had everything done within 2-3 hours! The job involved our neighbor's yard, since the tree fell over the fence into their yard. They had everything done and cleaned up within that time! Have used this service previously for another tree removal and trimming. Very professional and accommodating and feel their prices are very reasonable."

"I highly recommend C&L as they did a wonderful job for me. They did quality work from beginning to end. Tony and Tom gave me great ideas for the design of the landscape. Everyone worked well together as a team with good communication. Pedro and Chase managed to get my whole yard redone in just 2 days. They were fast, efficient, and patient with me (I can be nit-picky!). Everyone was very accommodating when I wanted some last minute changes in the backyard garden. I fully expected an additional estimate for the changes and was delightfully surprised when I did not receive an additional bill! Everyone was extremely kind and they all clearly take pride in their work! They are worth every penny!"

Arborists 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.

The lifespan of a bird's nest depends on the species. The building process can take from two days to three weeks. Once built, the nesting period for baby birds can last from two to ten weeks before they leave the nest. While most young birds are ready in two to six weeks, some predatory species may need up to two and a half months. Some species nest four to five times per year, so a nest could remain in use for several months. For specific information about a particular nest's longevity, it is best to consult a wildlife professional.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

Maple trees start the growing season by developing small groups of red flowers where the tree's fruit, the samaras, will appear in the coming weeks. Later in spring, the samaras, which many call whirlybirds or similar names, develop into single-winged seed carriers that spin when falling or drifting in the wind. 

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.
