"Jose and his crew took down a huge 200+ year old tree on our property. They did an excellent job! They are professional experts and we will most definitely call them again to trim and/or remove the other old trees that need attention. Jose was quick to answer our call and worked with our schedule. We highly recommend MW Tree Service!"

"The Tim Mente crew performed the felling of six dead mature trees on our property with great skill, care and professionalism. Two very large trees adjacent to our neighbor's property line were dismantled in sections and gently lowered to the ground. Not a single branch fell into the nearby yard. Our lawn was swept free of all debris and chipped. We will use this byproduct for mulch. Logs were removed very skillfully by a worker operating a Toro tracked Dingo. Plywood was laid down to protect our lawn. The company is licensed and insured to a sufficient level. The total job price was very competitive and significantly less than the top bidder. Tim Mente's crew earned an A+ rating from us. We most definitely would recommend them to others and, when needed, call upon their services again."

"Mr. Hill and his wife came out and surveyed the trees in the ground within two days to see what I would like to have done. We thought it would take weeks for them to use as a starting date for it to be done they showed up on time and within three days. I was taken down and away and done exactly how I wanted to be. The grounds are so clear you can’t even tell that we had a tree down and limbs all over the place. It was a very fair price and I would hire Mr. Hill again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

White vinegar does not kill ivy on trees because its acetic acid concentration is not high enough to overpower it. Vinegar is an effective herbicide for weeds and other plants, but not for the strength of most ivies, including poison ivy and English ivy. You should use an herbicide to kill ivy, such as one with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr.

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.

In the short term, you’ll have a lot of fallen trees to deal with. Tree removal services costs typically start at $200 per tree and increase based on species and size. Then, you’ll have to deal with the loss of trees: That means a loss of shade and a greater risk of rain runoff and erosion. Also, you’ll miss out on the health and aesthetic benefits of having trees on your property, which could even affect the resale value of your home.

That being said, cutting down a tree it’s not always a bad idea. Trees growing too close to rooftops can present fire hazards or debris problems. You may need to remove diseased or dying trees to prevent future issues.

Signs include dead branches, growth over structures, diseases, pests, or roots impacting hardscapes.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.
