"Tyler did a great job of quickly coming out and removing a large broken tree limb before someone got hurt. He was quick, efficient, and was willing to do whatever was needed to make the area safe. The work was done by tree climbing, so no destruction to our lawn. He cleaned up and made our yard a safer place for our kids to play. He was genuine, kind, and caring throughout the entire process. Rooted will be my first call should we need any of their services completed."

"I was looking to have a large, dying, pine tree removed and a friend recommended Torres Tree Service. I gave them a call they came out and took a look at the tree. They gave me a very reasonable quote, especially considering the tree was next to a power pole, with power lines and cable lines running through the branches. I set up a time a week later for them to come remove it. They showed up early, consulted with me about the process, what I wanted hauled away and what I wanted to keep, and then they got to work. They had the tree cut down, the yard cleaned, cut the trunk into moveable size pieces, and even put them in my backyard for me as I requestedin less than 2 hours. The quickness, quality, and safety of their work was extremely impressive. I highly recommend Torres Tree Service and will definitely use them in the future if I need more trees removed or trimmed."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task. 

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

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.

To maintain trees on a commercial property, perform regular pruning, monitor for diseases, and apply fertilization to promote healthy growth. It is also important to remove any hazardous branches to keep the trees healthy and prevent potential liability issues.
