"I had to move several trees, and also need a branches and brush clean up at my home. All Year Round Tree Service responded quickly. Dustin Wiggins provided me with a clear description of what, how, and when he would do this job as well as a reasonable estimate. He and his hard-working crew, using top quality equipment, did exactly what Dustin proposed, and did in a clean, quick, safe and efficient manner. I was very impressed with the entire experience!"

"Exceptionally well. Had very large tree fall on my garage and was able to hire this tree service immediately. It took just 1 day to completely remove the entire tree. Was very pleased with Mauricio and his partner for tackling a very large job. I will definitely use them again and will refer them to others. Also price range was reasonable."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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%.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.

The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall. 

It enhances property aesthetics, improves tree health, and prevents safety hazards.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.
