"I had an area of my deck rotting out. I had 2 other companies out that only wanted to sell a whole new deck and feed me a bunch of BS. Roots met me and showed me exactly what was bad and what he could do to fix it and make it look like it was never patched. His price was very fair. No BS, straight to the point. They worked clean. No mess, and they were very mindful of the many flowers and shrubs along the deck. Job well done."

"HIGHLY RECOMMEND! They were fast, efficient and very communicative! I had a tree that had been threatening to take out my neighbors new fence but I could not find a service that would return my calls or offer a quote. Wholeheartedly contacted me quickly with an honest quote and had the job done before I even got home from work. I will most definitely be hiring them again!"

"They were super communicative and willing to work with us as we are out-of-town owners. Jesse was very knowledgeable about are various trees and their points in the life cycle. He listened carefully to what we wanted right now as well as our future plans and made suggestions to help with that plan. When it was time for the job, we always received a notification from Danielle letting us know when Jesse was on his way or if there was any delay, etc. As I said, spectacular communication! Since we were out-of-town, Jesse sent plenty of before and after photos and even offered a video walk around, but I could see that he did exactly what we had discussed and even got a little more that we thought we'd be able to get on the Lakeshore side. I can not say enough good things about our experience with Roman Empire Tree. We will definitely be using them for all future work on our property and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for land clearing or even basic tree removal service!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trees should be pruned every two to five years, depending on its age and type. Young trees should be inspected and pruned every two to three years. Mature trees should be inspected and trimmed every three to five years, and fruit trees should be pruned annually with a careful eye on seasonal growth. Evergreens typically don’t need pruning, unless branches or limbs are damaged, diseased, or harboring pests.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.

If an arborist is certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the highest level of certification available is ISA Board Certified Master Arborist. According to the ISA, this credential is reserved for arborists “who have reached the pinnacle of their profession.” Check your arborist’s credentials before hiring to confirm their level of training and expertise.

Tree roots don’t necessarily break through concrete on their own, but they can certainly take advantage of existing cracks, even very small ones. As roots grow, they expand the cracks, making them larger and leading to serious and costly foundation damage. It’s a good idea to have repairs on any foundation cracks you’re concerned about.
