"Greg and the crew from Little Bear were very nice and efficient.  They did an excellent job taking down a couple of tall trees and trimming some others and removed several bushes that were overgrown.    They were very professional, cleaned up all the limbs and left the yard looking really good.  We would definitely recommend Little Bear Tree Service and we will definitely use them again.

"These guys were great. I hired them to take down some very large dead trees and clear a bunch of nasty brush, vines, and fallen trees along my steep creek bank. It was certainly not a very attractive job. I was pretty impressed at their ingenuity and skill at cutting and extracting the trees from the creek. They initially thought it was a 2 day job, but they brought a crew of 6 and knocked it out in one day working past dark to get it done. I paid them in full, thanked them, and sent them on their way. The next day in the daylight I was kind of disappointed in the end product, not terrible, but still a lot of small loose brush and vines on the ground and ruts from the bobcat. I contacted Alberto and he immediately sent 3 guys back out to do some rake and shovel work for a few hours to dress up the area and get it looking good. These are friendly, customer service oriented people with a good work ethic and integrity. Highly recommend."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Tree roots don’t necessarily break through concrete on their own, but they can certainly take advantage of existing cracks, even very small ones. As roots grow, they expand the cracks, making them larger and leading to serious and costly foundation damage. It’s a good idea to have repairs on any foundation cracks you’re concerned about.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.
