It is so nice to hire someone, have them show up when promised, and perform the work in a professional manner for a fair price, with a great attitude as well. That was my experience with Trillium Woodworks in having several trees trimmed and a large one removed.

Tyler's Tree Svc.did an impeccable job. Communication was outstanding. Tyler and his crew were very professional at every level. Price was very comparable to the other bids I received. I chose Tyler to trim my trees simply because his knowledge and his commitment were spot on.

I hired Sunset Tree Service to remove about 10 very large trees that were too close to my house. These trees were mostly over 50 feet tall. I was out of town during the Deracho in 2020 and it took me 2 and 1/2 hours to get through Cedar Rapids and I thought my house probably would be destroyed....

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If the roots are still alive, the dead tree will usually try to put out new shoots. That doesn’t mean the tree will survive or that the dead parts of a tree will come back to life. If parts of the tree have died and turned gray or rotten, nothing will bring them back to life and they need to be safely removed.

Yes, it’s possible to overwater a newly-planted tree. Daily watering is great for the first few weeks, but it’s important not to go overboard. Excessive watering can lead to various problems, including root rot, fungal diseases, and a lack of root development.

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size.

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.
