"From setting up the consultation with Anastasia, and having Hugo come and do the preliminary estimate - we knew they were the type of company we wanted to do business with. A local business that is family owned, and they LOVE trees! Family history of arborists, their knowledge is supreme! They were patient with all of my questions, concerns, and lack of any expertise. They fully explained their estimate, and what the best course of action was for the trees on our property. The day of the work, they knew exactly what needed to be done. I wouldn't even have known they were there - respectful of our time, our property, and the wild critters we have! Our property was left even better than when they came. We are excited to see the spring bloom, and have them back for additional trimming, and landscape work on our pond and firepit area."

Providing wildlife removal services as well as general pest control services. Specializing in animal removal from structures. Chimney capping services as well as custom animal guard installation. Sanitation and restoration services also available.

"As the director of a non-profit organization in a small town, I know how unusual it is to find such a capable, knowledgeable, courteous, and prompt technician to come and help with unwelcome “visitors” to your property. We could not have asked for a better experience in dealing with an ant invasion, along with skunks and racoons burrowing under our buildings. Gerrod was always pleasant to deal with and diligent to explain the procedures and costs involved. He responded quickly and took care of our problems in a most timely manner. His wealth of knowledge and professionalism set him apart from others I have dealt with. I highly recommend When Nature Calls Pest Control and will not hesitate to contact Gerrod again if needed."

"We had a comprehensive landscape plan completed by Meagan at Wasco last year and have had trees and other landscaping installed by them for the past two years. Meagan was great to work with and did a great job of listening to us and helping us budget the project. Our home had almost zero landscaping (not even mulch beds) when we moved in. The plant materials that Wasco installed or that we have purchased from them and installed ourselves seem to be of high quality so far. We had a few hiccups with one installation, but they fixed it ASAP, and have always been responsive to questions. Workers who come to the home are excellent."

John Richards established Tree Care Enterprises, Inc. in September 1978. John earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Forestry from Michigan Technological University in 1977. Soon thereafter he started Tree Care Enterprises as a one man operation. A short time later Doug Edwards was hired. John and Doug are two of our seven Certified Arborists. Doug is now the Vice President in charge of operations. John Richards is still President and involved with running Tree Care on a daily basis. In 2007, Tree Care Enterprises, Inc. became a Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) accredited company. This prestigious recognition is awarded to only the finest and most professional companies. We then created a safety position and formed an employee safety committee. In 2008, Kurt Weidner and Doug Edwards attended a Certified Tree Care Safety Program (CTSP) to support the companys commitment to continuing education and safety. This extensive program works with the companys training staff to develop safety and training programs for the current work force. This advanced training system will enable Tree Care Enterprises to employ a work force that has been properly trained in all aspects of the Green Industry. Worker safety, safe work zones and industry standards create the backbone of the current curriculums being developed. Both Kurt and Doug have worked in the Green Industry and have extensive experience in the emergency response field. From the beginning, Tree Care Enterprises, Inc. has operated on the basis that quality work from professional and knowledgeable employees would make us a successful company. We are growing and are now celebrating our 31st year in business!

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

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 is possible for you to cut down your own tree, but only take this project on if it’s a small tree and you’re experienced handling a chainsaw. If you need to use a ladder to cut down the tree or tree limbs, it’s too large (and dangerous) for you to remove yourself. 

Hire a pro instead who can safely remove the tree without injury to you, themselves, or your home. Either way, look into tree removal regulations for the state you live in before having a tree removed to ensure it’s not a historic tree or protected by your city.

Many consider the Fraser fir to be the most popular type of Christmas tree, but which type of tree sells out near you can depend on region and decorating trends that year. For example, the Leyland cypress is especially popular in the Southeast, according to the National Christmas Tree Association.

Yes, the same rules discussed above apply to your neighbor: They can trim one of your trees as long as they’re only cutting the portion that extends into their property. Your neighbor is not allowed to access your property without permission, nor can they cut past the property line.
