"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!"

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.
If an arborist is certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the highest level of certification available is ISA Board Certified Master Arborist.

The speed of your tree root removal process depends on a few different factors, including the size and type of tree. However, the fastest method of killing tree roots is applying chemical herbicide, which starts working quickly and efficiently. But this removal method has its drawbacks, such as having a negative effect on the surrounding vegetation and landscaping. Other options like rock salt and stump grinding work relatively quickly and cause less damage to your yard.
Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.
Pruning can impact cold hardiness—but it’s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don’t want to prune trees when there’s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it’s pruned.
