"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!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines. 

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

Unlike some fruit trees, such as apple, sweet cherry, or pear that require at least two trees for pollination, most peach trees are self-pollinating. This means you can plant just one tree and still expect it to produce fruit, typically within two to four years. For best results, consult with a local landscaper to choose the right peach tree variety for your specific climate, soil type, and yard layout.

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.

Trees should be pruned every two to five years, depending on its age and type. Young trees should be inspected and pruned every two to three years. Mature trees should be inspected and trimmed every three to five years, and fruit trees should be pruned annually with a careful eye on seasonal growth. Evergreens typically don’t need pruning, unless branches or limbs are damaged, diseased, or harboring pests.
