"The service was excellent. I hired LW to cut a large oak tree down overhanging my home. I only asked them to cut the tree down and chip the branches. They went above and beyond by doing that, and cutting most of the tree into firewood. They left the site clean and even managed to work around most of the landscaping that was already in place."

"LW Tree Service and Grading are great! I give them 10/10 stars;10 being the best! Lynn & William are wonderful people!!! William & Suzette completed the project in 3 days. They limbed up 4 trees close to the roof of the house & removed the very large maple tree in the backyard between two sheds. He went above & beyond!! He also removed an old swing set & a very heavy concrete culvert at no extra cost. He is also bringing us a load of fill dirt to cover the roots that had grown above the ground. We miss the shade from the large Maple but it was infected with carpenter ants, mushrooms, root rot, & a woodpecker so it had to go before it split & did major property damage. I would definitely hire them again!!! They were so nice I feel like I made 3 new friends which was the most unexpected part of the project. It is hard to find good people and hard to find good help BUT we found both with LW Tree Service and Grading. I highly recommend them; you won’t be disappointed, I promise!!!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.

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.

In the short term, you’ll have a lot of fallen trees to deal with. Tree removal services costs typically start at $200 per tree and increase based on species and size. Then, you’ll have to deal with the loss of trees: That means a loss of shade and a greater risk of rain runoff and erosion. Also, you’ll miss out on the health and aesthetic benefits of having trees on your property, which could even affect the resale value of your home.

That being said, cutting down a tree it’s not always a bad idea. Trees growing too close to rooftops can present fire hazards or debris problems. You may need to remove diseased or dying trees to prevent future issues.

Yes, you can hire professionals to move a tree. Arborists and tree transplanting companies specialize in this type of work and use equipment like hydraulic tree spades to safely extract and relocate trees with their root balls intact. Since tree moving is a complex process, especially for larger trees, it’s best left to experts who understand how to protect the tree’s health and ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Stay inside or well away until the storm passes. Don’t go outside to inspect the tree until the weather clears, especially if the tree is on a hill or isolated in a field. Lightning often strikes the same easily-accessed places multiple times, and you could be a new target. If a lightning strike causes a noticeable fire, alert emergency services. When the storm is over, take a closer look to gauge the damage done.
