"This crew worked quickly and efficiently. They did an amazing job of cleaning everything up afterwards too. You would never have known the trees they removed were ever there. The owner was very kind and professional as well. I will definitely be hiring them again in the future."

"ABS did an excellent job. We hired them to remove several trees after hurricane Ian in Florida. They were there quickly and worked very efficiently. They removed the trees safely without any damage to our house. There were several trees they were leaning over our pool cage and house. They removed these without even coming close to hitting the structure. I would definitely hire them again."

"Antonio and his crew very professional. They showed up each day on time. After they finished for the day they left the job site clean and safe and always secured my fence. They safely removed 10 trees from my property One of them was about 80 to 90 feet tall and was in the back corner of my yard and surrounded by two outbuildings and three other houses. Antonio Climbed and topped the tree in sections without damage to any of the outlying properties or buildings. I would recommend him for any tree surgeon work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

Although it’s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. 

Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They’ll be able to walk you through the entire process.

Dutch elm disease can’t harm humans. In fact, according to Cal Fire, bark beetles aren’t even typically dangerous to trees unless that tree is already weakened. The problem comes when Dutch elm disease kills a tree. That tree is more at risk of falling and catching fire, which can pose a serious threat.

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.
