"Seriously, KB Tree is excellent. We had them take down several trees that were leaning toward our house - before they could do any damage this winter with heavy snow or ice. After a prompt estimate, the crew was here within a week and made quick work of it in under a couple of hours. Super professional. They left everything we wanted in neat piles and hauled off the rest. They even used a blower to clean up the debris. Hardly a trace that they were even here. I would use them again in a heartbeat and canâ t recommend them enough!"

"Bart Flanaganâ s tree service was an excellent company to work with. This company gets things done quickly and efficiently at a good value. I had a gentleman come out the day I called and he gave me a reasonable quote for my job then and there. Two weeks later there they were right at 8:30 ready to go. Five men worked the entire time they were at my house taking down a gigantic pine and trimming up a number of other trees. They were amazing at taking down this huge tree safely and quickly. They cleaned up nicely and were very pleasant to speak with throughout the day. If I had any more trees to take down or prune Iâ d hire them in a second. Excellent work. Thank you Bart."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

Tree removal costs typically don’t include stump removal, as that technically falls into a different service. The company you hire may offer the service for an additional fee; ask them if they offer it to ensure you get the best tree stump removal costs possible.

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.
