"Zuhlke Tree Service did a great job clearing out some overgrowth next to our neighbors fence as well as take down a damaged spruce tree. They removed all the tree pieces and debris leaving our yard all picked up. The Zuhlke family is very friendly and reviews the work to be done with you before starting the job. They offer very reasonable rates. I highly recommend Zuhlke Tree Service if you need any tree/ shrub removal done on your property."

"We bought a home with a badly neglected pear tree in dire need of pruning and I had no idea how to proceed. Angie’s List sent my info to several providers and Dan from Tree Pirates was the first to call. He asked what I wanted from the tree (higher fruit yield or esthetic shaping) and I said yield. He told me of his experience, made recommendations and I hired him to come the following day. He arrived on time, we examined the tree together and decided what limbs to remove. Half way through he asked me to check the progress to see if it was what I wanted, finished in a timely manner considering the amount of work. Dan then took the severed limbs down to our “wood pile” to be shredded and cleaned up the area. In addition to the pruning, Dan gave me advice on spraying the tree and fertilizing, making recommendations and explanations for each. The tree will need further pruning next year and I will be calling Tree Pirates once again. Than you, Dan."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you’ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

Since overwatering can harm mature trees just as much as a lack of water, it’s important to know the signs of an overwatered tree. If your tree’s leaves are yellowing, wilting, or dropping leaves, it’s likely that you’re overwatering. Other common signs include rotting, fungi, soggy soil, soft or peeling bark, falling leaves, and brittle roots. 

If you realize that you’ve been overwatering your mature tree, stop watering and give the soil time to dry out. Then moving forward, increase time between watering sessions. 

Opt for a barefoot tree. Pros harvest barefoot trees when they’re dormant (leafless). They shake the dirt from the root ball and pack it in moist material. 

These trees can cost half as much as the trees at your local nursery, and you can buy them online—so there’s a much wider selection. Just make sure you keep your barefoot tree cool until you’re ready to plant it.
