"Umberto and his crew did a great and efficient job taking down and chipping two large trees in my yard. They fulfilled my special requests, replaced the fences they had to take down, and were very careful not to disturb my garden beds. Umberto is a certified arborist, yet charged me the same price I was quoted by other companies that were just general landscapers. He was friendly, accommodating, and easy to work with. Highly recommended."

"BTR responded within a few minutes of my request. They arrived as stated to bbn give their quote. The tree was spit down the center of the trunk all the way to fairly close to the ground. They offered to strap it together to hold it so that it didn't fall on the neighbor's house and deck. My husband didn't see the need. They arrived the next day as stated and went to work. They also ground remaining tree roots from a locust tree removed several years ago which continued to send up new growth. They were excellent at protecting the neighbor's property and ours. They did an excellent job of grinding the stump of the tree they removed. They also did an excellent job of finding and grinding the locust tree roots that were problematic. The person who stayed to do the grinding also did cleanup. He did an excellent clesnup. There was a large pile of remaining woodchips. He offered me the removed maple tree woodchips which i accepted and have used for mulch. These guys were excellent start to finish as opposed to the company i used several years ago who left tree roots from three trees that had to be removed. This company had the crew and equipment to expertly and efficiently handle the job. They were professional and courteous. I am glad we used Angi this time instead of friend referral. I would highly recommend BTR!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Tree roots don’t necessarily break through concrete on their own, but they can certainly take advantage of existing cracks, even very small ones. As roots grow, they expand the cracks, making them larger and leading to serious and costly foundation damage. It’s a good idea to have repairs on any foundation cracks you’re concerned about.

Sudden oak death and oak wilt are different diseases. Oak wilt first shows up in tree leaves while sudden oak death affects the branches and trunk. However, as symptoms in both can overlap, it’s best to consult a professional arborist tree expert for a proper diagnosis and development of a treatment plan.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

The Christmas tree type that smells the best to you will ultimately depend on personal preference. But if that classic Christmas tree smell is important to you, choosing a type of tree known for its scent is a safe bet. Try a balsam fir for a spicy, comforting scent or a Douglas fir for a sweeter smell. You may also like Fraser firs, Scotch pines, and blue spruces.

No, homeowners insurance typically does not cover the cost of removing a dead, sick, or rotting tree that is still standing. Insurance is designed to protect against sudden and unexpected accidents, whereas a tree dying or rotting over time is considered a maintenance issue. Coverage usually only applies after a tree has fallen and caused damage to your property.
