"I strongly recommend BAH Pro tree service. They cut down a large dogwood tree that had become too big for the space. BAH Pro was prompt, polite, fair priced, and knew what to do. They cleaned up work site to complete their work."

"C&J Tree service did an excellent job clearing some trees that were diseased on my property. They were on time, courteous and efficiently removed the trees and stumps, leaving the area ready for some fresh landscaping in the spring time (which I've already hired them to do). I highly recommend their services and plan to use them again for another project later this year to have arborvitae trees planted around the property line."

"CT Tree over delivered on the project from clear communications, scheduling, on time arrival as planned etc. Connor and his CT Tree team displayed professionalism and safety in all aspects of the job removing over 20 trees. Equipment state of the art. Most of all, property was left cleaner than when they arrived. They hit it out of the park with my project with very competitive pricing. Definitely a go to for future projects!"

"Tree Works - Lopez was excellent. I requested a quote and Miquel was out first thing next morning. He viewed the work to be done, quoted on the spot and came with his team in the afternoon. The bucket truck negotiated my narrow driveway extremely well, the plastic planks protected my lawn. The tree trimming went flawlessly, with the chipper keeping up. The team worked well together, efficiently and in unison. Reasonable fee for the work involved. Would definitely recommend them."

"Excellent experience. Needed a very large but sadly dying spruce tree removed. 27" diameter trunk, must have been 40+ feet tall. Plus, it was only a few feet from several houses. After getting some other estimates (including one for $4000 requiring a crane), Rudy showed up, looked at it, and quoted me the best price I'd heard - $1900. No crane necessary. In his words "no need for a crane, it would only make it more expensive". I gave him a deposit that day. A week later we got in touch to schedule the work. On the day before, he texted me to remind me he was coming the next morning. The team showed up on time, they were well-equipped, professional, and clearly knew what they were doing, and had the entire tree removed in about 5 hours. Even more, they did an EXCELLENT job cleaning up after themselves, and didn't leave a single bit of debris in my yard when they left. I would absolutely recommend RGS for anyone needing tree service, and I will undoubtedly use them again."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it can be good to remove dead branches from trees. Dead branches can lead to rot in other areas of the tree. They can also cause damage if they fall on a house, shed, fence, car, pool, or other structure or property. However, it’s important that dead branch removal is done safely. If the branch is high in a tree or requires a lift or ladder to access, consider calling a professional tree removal company, as they will have the experience and equipment to do the job safely.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

It’s possible, although a lot depends on the cause of damage and what steps you take. If the remaining parts of the maple tree are alive and not under attack by disease or pests, they can often be saved even if large portions of the maple tree have died. Frequent watering, careful pruning, mulch, and any recommended fungicides or insecticides can all help with survival.
