"Nic Tree Service was a great choice! I got quotes from 3 different companies to cut down tree branches hanging over my house and was the lowest quote. The price was fair and got the job done in less than an hour. I will definitely be going with Nic Tree Service again for any tree services needed."

Customers say: Quick response

"i'm a repeat customer (That should tell you a lot). Small job ot trimming a decorative tree and raising a branch on a large locust in the back yard. My neighbor was so impressed that she requested help and Jose helped her out on the spot! If you need someone that REALLY understands how to treat a tree and you, as a client, look no further."

"I own a large suburban lot in Deer Park, IL with lots of trees and have hired Mike and his crew from AAA Arborist Tree Experts for three major projects over the past few years. I've had nothing but excellent service from him! He's friendly, knowledgeable, keeps his word and delivers high quality. The most difficult project was removing a VERY LARGE willow that overhung my house. It had weak limbs and I knew it would cause problems for me if not removed. Mike's crew removed the willow safely at a fair price. I was impressed. The other two projects were clearing buckthorn and diseased trees (while leaving more desirable species) in various areas of my lot. In both cases Mike and his crew did a great job and I was extremely pleased with the result. When ever I need tree service, Mike is the guy I call!"

"Very professional-prompt response to estimate request, very reasonable price and quick to complete the job. They did great work-they were very neat and did I mention professional? I was expecting to have to do some clean up after they left (just from previous experience with other tree removal services) but they left it perfect! Would absolutely recommend them!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.

Service costs depend on several factors, including the system's age, type, and size, as well as the complexity of the repair. Labor costs and whether replacement parts are necessary also play a significant role.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
