"The people at Kanesville Valley were amazingly responsive, courteous and professional. The crew that came to remove a massive fallen tree from my property were amazingly skilled at their trade and maintained a safe environment. My back yard is awkward to even maneuver private vehicles into and these guys were able to skillfully bring their giant crane truck in and maneuver around making quick work of what would have been a week long undertaking without the use of their specialized equipment. They handled the debris removal expertly, being cautious to prevent any further damage, carefully lifting tree parts off of a shed, yard equipment and even a vehicle, leaving them unscathed. Their skill and expertise, coupled with their specialized equipment that makes the job faster and safer would have been well worth it at twice the price! They will be the first company I call and the first company I recommend for any type of tree work needed."

"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."

"The job done was very professional. The amount of trimming 20 plus feet in the air was done to perfection. We had two huge maple trees trimmed, the lower tree had a 10" branch remove that was located over the frozen canal plus allot of other branches and limbs removed.. The front yard tree was trimmed and thinned out where we wanted it to be. All the limbs and debris were removed to make it as if nothing was cut and all logs and tree branches cut up for firewood were stacked where we wanted them. I would highly recommend this company for any tree cutting services. We were very pleased with the service and will definitely hire them again in the future if needed. We will recommend them to anyone who asks where we got out tree trimmed from."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you should trim the lower branches of your maple tree for safety. Trimming maple trees as they grow helps lift the crown and canopy and trains it to grow straight up. A good rule of thumb is to prune enough branches to leave 6 feet of clearance under the tree.

In most cases, your neighbor is responsible for roots from their tree that cause damage to your property. If your pavement, the foundation of your home, or a fence is damaged by roots from a neighbor’s tree, you likely will have legal recourse for financial relief. While it’s better to notify your neighbor of any problems you notice as soon as they arise to avoid costly damage, there are some instances where filing a civil suit is your only recourse. Your homeowner’s insurance company might wish to do so on your behalf if you file a claim.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.
