"I used Adam Dupre' and his crew from ADTEK Enterprises, LLC to remove a HUGE portion of a 100+ year old tree that had fallen on my property and landed on our camper, utility trailer and some of our vehicles. Due to the age and massive size of the tree, as well as how the huge limbs had fallen, it was a very large and risky job. Adam came the same day I called to review the situation and to provide me with an estimate for the job. He and his crew were here the very next morning as he promised. They spent all day removing the large limbs and also removed any other limbs that could pose a potential future danger to our neighbors and our property. Adam brought in all of his equipment and a team of 6 guys. He and his crew worked on our tree and property for the entire day. Once the limbs were cut and hauled off of the property, his crew raked and cleaned the yard to ensure that there was no other tree debris around the site. Adam and his crew were so professional and did such an awesome job, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend him for any tree services to anyone. I will definitely use Adam again for any tree work that I need to have done in the future!"

"He was very adequate on getting me a fair price, very well mannered, and was on time or early for everything. He demolished 2 sheds for me and did a very good job. And the cleanup after the demolition was very professional it’s like the sheds were never there! Highly recommend to anybody!"

"TDR did a wonderful job cleaning up and mowing my neglected yard in a very timely manner as well as giving me a quote before doing the work. I'm very happy I found & hired TDR, spoke with Stephen many times over the course of the job as well as receiving pictures of work and video when completed since I wasn't able to be there at my place. Highly recommend & hired Stephen to come back to keep yard under control in the future."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease. 

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.
