"We are extremely pleased with the work DM Tree Service did. The crew arrived when they said they would the morning of April 20th and in less than six hours both of our 80-ft tall water maples were down and everything had been cleared away. It was a joy watching them work. It was like a well-oiled machine! The cost was more than reasonable for the work they did. They took all safety precautions and nothing in our yard was damaged. We highly recommend this company."

"Bonito and his crew were very personable and professional. Was on time, on day agreed on with no delays. Even did additional work requested at last minute with no complaints. Truly customer oriented, (which seems to be lacking in too many businesses nowadays). Would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a good tree service company."

"Very professional and courteous. Very reasonably priced. The work started the same day I accepted the quote. I had 3 large/tall trees removed and if you look at my lawn one could not tell that any work had been done. No mess was left behind. These folks were very hard workers and very efficient. I am super pleased with these folks and would highly recommend them to anyone."

"Tim came out and took a look at my tree, gave me options and I chose to cut it down. He provided me with a solid estimate with the work to be completed. I cannot begin to tell you what an amazing job the team did for me. Tim and his crew were on time, professional, courteous. They made sure the job was done safely. They had a system in place and moved through it seamlessly! I could not believe how nice a job they did with removing the tree debris, limbs, big branches and trunk. They ground the stump, back filled the considerable hole and cleaned up everything. The price was more than reasonable for the job they completed for me! Leading up to the tree removal (a big oak that was diseased) Tim kept in contact if times or days needed to be changed due to the recent daily rain."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Most trees can be successfully transplanted while they are young, but pines, walnuts, and some oak tree varieties are more difficult to move because their root systems grow deeper than most other trees. Also, trees adapted to sandy soil with wide root systems like beeches, willows, and aspens are harder to dig out because their roots spread much farther out from the trunk. In these cases, unless the trees are very young and small, it’s a good idea to consult a tree planting professional.

In the short term, you’ll have a lot of fallen trees to deal with. Tree removal services costs typically start at $200 per tree and increase based on species and size. Then, you’ll have to deal with the loss of trees: That means a loss of shade and a greater risk of rain runoff and erosion. Also, you’ll miss out on the health and aesthetic benefits of having trees on your property, which could even affect the resale value of your home.

That being said, cutting down a tree it’s not always a bad idea. Trees growing too close to rooftops can present fire hazards or debris problems. You may need to remove diseased or dying trees to prevent future issues.

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.

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.

Talking with a septic pro before planting trees near your tank is best to ensure the roots won’t interfere with your septic system. However, there is an easy way to figure out where to plant a tree—but you’ll need to know how tall it can get when it’s fully grown. For instance, if the tree can reach 50 feet, plant it at least 50 feet from your septic system.
