"We contacted Calvert Tree Experts about having 9 trees taken down on our property. Crystal contacted us and came out for our estimate the same day. She gave us a price which we felt was fair and she was able to schedule us quickly as well. She promptly answered any questions we had and kept in close contact with us throughout the process. We ended up getting more trees taken down than we originally planned and they were incredibly flexible and accommodating to our changing requests. When the crew arrived they worked quickly and efficiently while also taking great care. They were extremely professional and the precision with which they took down the trees was impressive. It was obvious they had a lot of experience. They left our yard looking better than we expected and we appreciated the time they took to do so. We highly recommend Calvert Tree Experts, Crystal and her team were a pleasure to work with!"
"This team is top notch! They showed up as planned, on time and ready to go! They confirmed all the work I requested to be done before starting and ensured I was satisfied before leaving. I would recommend LPZ to anyone looking for tree service, whether it be trimming or removal!"
"Beautiful Yards did a fantastic job removing two trees, stumps, and root systems. The teamwork these guys have is amazing to watch. They arrived on time and completely cleaned up the yard and debris that fell into our neighbor's yard. Beautiful Yards is reasonably priced and worth every penny! I would hire them again in a heartbeat! I highly recommend them."
"Surlan responded to my request for estimate (unlike the other pros suggested by Angie). He looked at our property and helped us determine what needed to be done. He presented us with a contract and we agreed to price proposed for services, They arrived promptly as scheduled. They cut down three tress and trimmed limbs on several others. We are completely satisfied with the services provided."
"I contracted White Oak Tree Experts to remove some trees, grind stomps, and perform light pruning at my single family home. Right from the start, from the free estimate where Fernando Reyes walked my property line with me while listening to my concerns and goals while offering helpful suggestions, to the day he brought his crew and equipment, I knew I was in good hands. I highly recommend Fernando and White Oak Tree Experts since they are professional, hard working, very efficient, affordable, and committed to their customers needs. They exceeded my expectations!"

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.
You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.
If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.
In most cases, your neighbor is responsible for roots from their tree that cause damage to your property. If your pavement, the foundation of your home, or a fence is damaged by roots from a neighbor’s tree, you likely will have legal recourse for financial relief. While it’s better to notify your neighbor of any problems you notice as soon as they arise to avoid costly damage, there are some instances where filing a civil suit is your only recourse. Your homeowner’s insurance company might wish to do so on your behalf if you file a claim.
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.
Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit.
If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.
