"I had a branch that had fallen from a tree and was suspended from another branch. Because it was a small job I was concerned it might be difficult to get someone to bid on it. After contacting CG Arborist Services by email, I got a call from Chris within 12 hours. He was in the area gave me a quote which I accepted and he was able to fit me in the same day. Chris was professional, did the work as promised, and cleaned everything that came out of the tree as well as the fall leaves that were on the ground near the tree. The service was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend him even if you have a small job to be done."

"Wonderful job! Two teams performed the work on two different days and both jobs were performed with competence, professionalism and while exhibiting excellent customer service. This is the second time we have hired them and this time, all of their activities were within 30 feet of the house. They managed to remove 3 large oak trees and trim 4 more with no mishaps or damage to our property. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire them in the future nor recommend them to others."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn’t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree’s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and oak wilt. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.
