"I strongly recommend this contractor. Less than 5 minutes after posting my job I received a phone call. Twenty minutes later and they were at my door to review what I needed done. I wanted to remove a 30 foot palm tree and have that stump and another stump ground down. I received the quote that evening and they were at my door at 8:00 the next morning to do the job. Another service answered my add and did not even come out to look at the project, they wanted me to send pictures and then sent me a quote. I like to meet people first. I was very pleased. All Seasons was the right choice."

"He works hard and the amount of work he completed was great. He is a nice man and he listened to everything I wanted done. He is doing a major cleanup of my landscaping that wasnt touched yet this year. Everything was overgrown and it looked pretty bad. I was amazed at the difference he made in one day. My lanscaping looks wonderful, thanks to him. He is also looking at my sprinklers and will take care of any problems. I plan on continuing to use him to maintain my landscaping once the cleanup is done. I have a lot of flowering plants, shrubs and trees. I feel confident that he will be able to continue to keep them looking good going forward. Thank you DeMott Property Care."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.
