"Prime tree care came in on business! With the utmost of care and professionalism, they removed what could’ve been a 140 tall very old silver maple. The gentleman were very respectful and neat. Removing the limbs one by one with precision dropping the cut limbs into my yard without hitting the garage and without dropping debris in my neighbors yard. I highly recommend Prime Tree Care Inc, for tree removal and tree trimming."

"My brother recommended Chicagoland Forestry to me. They did great work. I had two large trees removed and their stumps grinded away. They removed the trees with proficiency and safely then came back the next day and took care of their stumps. The job was finished in no time and they cleaned up nicely. Would recommend them to anyone."

"He told me what time he was coming and came right on the dot.  He knew exactly what kind of tree I have and was very knowledgeable about when to cut it and what can happen if I cut it too early.  I had had a power outage in my garage and I inquired whether the tree roots could be causing some electrical issues.  He told me he didn't know, but the best part was that he spent 45 extra minutes investigating the garage and told me EXACTLY what to tell the electrician when I have them come out.  When the electrician came, I told him what Steve Briggs told me and he went to the exact spot and we discovered that Steve was exactly right!  Before Steve left, he asked if there was anything else that he could do to help me.  I had another tree service provider come out to give me an estimate and it was $150 more expensive than Briggs Tree Service.  When I asked him about what Steve told me about the timing of the tree cutting and what can befall the tree, he told me that now was as good a time as ever to cut the tree down and he didn't go into any detail.  After he left, I did some more investigation about what Steve told me about the ash and the virus that can kill my tree if I cut it right now and found out that Steve was EXACTLY right!  He is truly an expert arborist and can be trusted!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Finding a reliable arborist starts with researching specialists in your area and checking their licensing and certifications. Use online resources like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to conduct research on each company. Next, contact the arborist and ask the following questions to see whether they are the right fit for your project:

  • Do you handle or specialize in dealing with the issue I’m having?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Do you have any third-party certifications?

  • What equipment and strategies do you plan to use?

The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.

You can trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.
