"Lowe’s tree service cut down a very large Bradford pear tree that was very close to our garage, Powerlines going into our house, and a fence. Mike and his crew did an exceptional job with no worries about the three obstacles that were in the way. They removed all the unwanted wood. The wood that I didn’t want to keep for my fire pit, they made a nice neat stack. Everything else was removed and you couldn’t even tell that they had been there. They also have very reasonable prices, or super friendly and will truly make you feel like you are family the way they take care of you!"

Customers say: Quick response

"I had a massive oak in my small front yard and an even more massive elm in the back, Both very close to the house, both heavily canopied over the house as well as the neighbor houses on either side...really tight quarters. Out of laziness, I supposed, I hired an outfit I had previously used for some trim work on the oak in the front. Big mistake. After about two weeks, the oak was maybe 65% done and collateral damage on the last day they worked to the tune of about $1500. Fired them. This time I did my due diligence and got about 3 bids to finish the oak and tackle the elm in the back. Heggood's was among the bids and I went with them because of the reviews and a very reasonable bid. Also, Mark Heggood gave the best presentation when he came to give the bid. The crew showed up on a Tuesday and the trees were down and gone and everything cleaned up by Friday afternoon. These guys know their stuff...how ta bring em down easy. They went above and beyond in many ways as well. In my 65 years of hiring services for things I couldn't do myself, this is the only time I've been 100% satisfied. Although I peeked out and watched at times, I still don't know how they got that behemoth elm out of the back yard."

"This guy was great. I had several trees about 40 or 50 feet tall that fell across the back of our house smashing our deck. He removed all the trees and the vines entangled with them at a very reasonable price and pretty much by himself. He really got the trees cut up and hauled away in a timely manner. I was concerned about possibly being too big a project for one person but he did a great job. I was thoroughly impressed with the job he did. I would recommend him for any tree project you might have. Here’s a before picture all of this is gone."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

How often and long you should water a tree depends on the species and if it is mature or newly planted. The amount of water is also based on the tree's size. A good rule of thumb is approximately 5 gallons per inch of the trunk's diameter.

Adjusting watering to the recommended suggestions for the tree type and weather conditions is vital. For instance, watering trees during a drought is necessary, and you may need to water more frequently than usual.

While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment.
