"I was impressed by the work preformed by Mark and his crew. Felling a tree is a difficult and dangerous job that professionals make appear simple. I would definitely rehire Stockyard Tree Service for any of my future need and I highly recommend them for yours! They communicate well, their team is efficient and the job site is clean afterwards - perfect!"

"He is reasonable in his charge. I would recommend him to anyone. He also does an excellent job. Once you have him work for you, you would contact again as well. The only thing that would stop him would be the weather and that weather would have to be pretty bad."

"Forever Lawn of Cedar Valley was one of the best customer service experiences that I have ever had the pleasure to appreciate. Mitch was great to work with- very responsive and professional. He communicated the features and benefits of his product and delivered great customer service as promised. His attention to detail was evident in everything that he did. Using this company for artificial turf was one of the best decisions that I have made in recent years. It is beautiful and adds so much to my back yard appearance!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It depends on the type of tree. Typically, late spring on the cusp of winter is ideal for trees about to emerge from dormancy and produce new buds. That said, late fall is ideal for certain deciduous trees prone to bleeding sap. Avoid trimming trees in early spring, when they’re prone to disease.

Unfortunately, most of the time you’re out of luck if a neighbor’s tree blocks your view. You don’t have a right to a view, so if you have a tree that’s near the property line but on your neighbor’s property, you can’t cut it to be able to take in a majestic mountain or a beautiful sunrise. In some communities, however, there are ordinances protecting scenic views. Checking into your local laws can help you determine your rights in this situation.

There are many signs that a tree is diseased or dying, and if you suspect that’s the case, you should call an arborist immediately. You might notice rot or fungus on the trunk or that the tree is beginning to lean to one side. Brittle branches or signs of root damage are other indicators that a tree is in trouble. If the tree is dying, it might be time to cut the tree down so it doesn’t fall.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:

  • Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.

  • Support businesses that plant trees. 

  • Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.

  • Donate to a tree-planting charity.
