"Fantastic job! My neighbor secured Prime to have 2 of their trees trimmed. I observed from across the street & I was impressed. I then asked 1 of the workers for their business card. The following week, my neighbor down the block had secured Prime for their dying tree. I was so impressed with the workers, the equipment they used, their skills. One of the workers even scaled the very tall tree. I contracted to have my 35 ft Blue Spruce removed. The tree was healthy being care for by Davy’s Tree Service. It had grown way too tall for my ranch style home. Prime Tree Care, Inc of Blue Island, Illinois emailed the contact with all details spelled out clearly. I like the professional approach of their contract along with forwarding a copy of their Certificate of Liability Insurance without requesting the document. This is the most professional tree service I have ever contracted. I am a gardener with 40 yrs gardening experience; I know excellent when I see it!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.

The shepherd’s tree, native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, holds the record for the deepest known tree roots at over 230 feet deep. Some African communities refer to it as the “Tree of Life” since it provides food, shade, and medicinal properties to the surrounding community.

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.

Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.

Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don’t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.
