"The Dagenhart did a very nice job at my house. They were very personable and professional. The trees I needed trimed were extremely tall and they had no trouble completing the job. They were able to give me the estimate the same day they came to look and that was exactly what they charged. I listened to their suggestions and appreciated their knowledge. I’m very happy with the outcome. when they were done they cleaned up all the limbs and branches that they took down. I highly recommend them for their 40 years of experience and professional workmanship."

"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!"

"I'm super happy! My only regret is that I didn't take a before picture of my lawn. I had been trying to fertilize and overseed on my own with products from Home Depot but my lawn just wasn't responding. I've been using Blades of Green for about a year now, and the results have been great. They've been a great company to deal with, and I highly recommend them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning how to get rid of regrowing tree roots is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional.

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.

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.

Yes, carefully prune back dead branches—don’t wait for pruning season. This helps keep your maple tree healthy and also helps prevent large branches from falling unexpectedly. Don’t seal the cut branch—trees can naturally take care of these wounds—but be sure to remove any source of fungus or pest infestation to help save the tree.
