Get matched with top tree service pros in Wyoming, IL

Q: What if I want to cut down a tree next to a power line?

• <div><p>Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it&rsquo;s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.</p></div>

Q: Do tree roots grow after a tree is cut down?

• <div><p>Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.</p></div>

Q: When shouldn't you prune trees?

• <div><p>Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you&rsquo;d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. </p><p>Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.</p></div>

Q: Will the power company or city top my trees?

• <div><p>Your local government is usually in charge of pruning trees on public property, and the power company is responsible for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/if-tree-falls-power-line-who-responsible.htm">trees near power lines</a> (even if they&rsquo;re on your property). Whether or not they top these trees depends on their approach to pruning. You won&rsquo;t be able to do much to control this, but you can contact them to find out more about their pruning process.</p></div>

Q: How much water does a large tree need per day?

• <div><p>A general rule is that trees need <b>10 gallons of water for each inch</b> of the tree&rsquo;s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier. </p></div>

The inspection service was excellent. Trenton explained the inspection process, findings and recommendations clearly. He represents the company professionally, and went above and beyond to help fix another issue that is unrelated to the roof.

Great company. Installed a new HVAC system for us. Everything was done on time, and they cleaned up after the work. The company followed up to insure we are happy with the system, which we are. The new type of Daikin condensers are quiet and have a nice appearance. Particular kudos to...
