Q: Do I need to remove the roots of a dead tree?

• <div><p>Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they&rsquo;re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.</p></div>

Q: How do you protect tree roots during excavation?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that&rsquo;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.</p><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-tree.htm">remove the tree</a> than risk future problems.</p></div>

Q: Why do tree service companies need insurance?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s important for tree companies to be insured because removing, trimming, and pruning trees are dangerous jobs. No matter how skilled a pro is, working with large landscaping tools and towering trees always comes with risks. Ensuring that you hire a tree service company with proper insurance protects both you and the company from any accidents or damage. If the company is properly insured, many issues that crop up during tree service projects will be covered. </p></div>

Q: How much do arborists usually charge?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-insured-arborist-care-your-trees.htm">Hiring an arborist costs</a> around <b>$900</b> on average, with prices ranging from <b>$250 to $2,500 or more</b>, depending on the type of work. Arborists complete a wide variety of jobs related to trees, so the average prices listed below should help you get a rough estimate of what your project will cost:</p><ul><li><p>Small tree removal: $300 to $500</p></li><li><p>Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more</p></li><li><p>Tree health assessment: $150</p></li><li><p>Trimming small tree: $75 to $200</p></li><li><p>Trimming large tree: $150 to $400</p></li><li><p>Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Why should you prune your trees?

• <div><p>Cutting off dead branches and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-reasons-why-you-should-prune-your-trees.htm">pruning your trees</a> can help promote growth and prevent safety hazards, such as falling limbs during storms. Pruning can also promote fruit production, treat disease, and remove unwanted growth. However, hiring a professional to prune and trim your trees can ensure it is done correctly and will keep them healthy. </p></div>

"Titan did a magnificent job on my property during the past week. I needed the following done: Grading work on my 3 acre property and three different types of rocks delivered. I also needed additional black dirt brought in to make it perfect. From start to finish the communication was excellent with Will. He let me know what time they would get to my job and everything that was going on during the work process. This is something that a lot of contractors just fail to do in my past experiences. They provide top notch equipment, with many different attachments for various types of jobs during the entire process. This ensures that the job is done correctly, the first time! Lastly, customer service could not be better. They (Will and Tim) stayed with the job until I was completely satisfied. Always keeping a great attitude no matter how many questions I asked. Even going the extra nine yards finishing the job better than I expected. "
