"Fernandez Tree Care was amazing to work with. I had a large White Pine in my back yard that needed some help. I initially wanted to just trim the tree but on closer inspection and conversation we decided it was best to remove the tree due to the health and age of the tree. Humberto (super nice guy) is a certified Arborist and while speaking through all of our options he was very informative and understanding that I was having a hard time deciding to remove the tree (he should also be a licensed therapist for how indecisive I was) but, as mentioned above, due to health and age of the tree, trimming it was only a band-aid for future issues. Day of, the crew was very friendly, professional, and quick. An 8 hour job only took about 5 hours and they helped with a few other tree/stump issues around the property because they had the equipment there. They did not have to do this but it was no trouble for Humberto and his team. They also took great care in cleaning up in both my yard and my neighbors yard where debris fell. Neighbors have already asked for the recommendation because they were so professional. All this at a very reasonable price too. I look forward to working with Fernandez Tree Care again very soon to get a new tree set up in our yard and would absolutely recommend this team to anyone needing help with their trees, trimming, fertilizing, or removing."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

Often, it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to handle the aftermath when a neighbor’s tree falls on their property. But if a tree has been obviously dead for a significant period of time and caused damage when it fell, a case can be made that the owner should have removed it, especially if the neighbor wrote you a letter about the tree or asked you to take it down. This can be grounds for a successful lawsuit in claims court and is a good reason to always pay attention to your trees and remove dead trees before they fall.
