"I have two very large oak trees that needed some serious thinning out and trimming. Mary was a delight to talk to and share about their family business. She made me feel comfortable with my choice to hire. Marvin came out and gave a fair estimate on the work that needed to be done to save my roof and the trees. He called his arborist out to check on the health of one tree and answered all my questions about trying to save it or take it down. We decided to try to save it. On the day of service we observed a squirrel entering the tree that's health was a concern. The level at which the squirrels had made their home brought little doubt that the tree could be saved and more worries about it causing serious damage if it falls. This tree will have to be removed. I'm extremely satisfied with the job that was done considering the task at hand. Everyone on the crew was professional, causious and courteous. The clean up job was above and beyond my expectations. I would definitely recommend them and will use them in the future for all my tree and lawn care needs."

"A very pleasant group to work with at a good price. They were contracted to perform tree trimming, primarily to remove dead branches. I felt like it was slightly overdone, as many branches were removed that were not dead, leaving a significantly different look. Some dead branches were missed, and many of the cut branches stayed hung up in the tree, which ultimately fell down later or will be falling down later. I certainly am not an arborist, and maybe what seemed like the work was overdone, will work itself out with new and expanding fill in. If that is the case I take back anything that may have sounded negative in this review. They were certainly a pleasant group to work with and should be considered by others."

"Seth and crew from Ole Dad’s trimmed multiple large trees and removed one large tree in our yard. They arrived as scheduled, had excellent communication and knowledge and offered expert advice from an arborist’s view. They have excellent equipment and vehicles and all wore safety equipment. Their cuts are clean and professional work and cleanup was most appreciated. I can recognize a job done by Seth and his crew. Their work is superior. We are very pleased with how I yard in Stone Creek looks and the crew did excellent work at our daughter’s house in Lakewood. Tree trimming is expensive but Seth’s prices are reasonable."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

It's easy to misidentify trees that appear to be maple trees due to similarities in leaf shapes. Sweetgum, sycamore, and yellow poplar all have leaf shapes and appearances similar to maples. The fact that around a dozen maple tree varieties exist, only about half of which are considered common, makes misidentification an often typical occurrence.  

You can never truly stop a maple tree from growing taller, but you can rein in its growth by pruning. Proper pruning helps maintain a safe size for your tree without causing permanent damage. It’s important to start pruning a tree while it’s young, long before it becomes a problem. Otherwise, you may be left with too many hazardous branches to remove at once.

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear).
