"Jed came out to help with a large tree that had been damaged during a storm. He did a fabulous job of dropping limbs without making a big mess and made sure to clean up after. He did the same thing for our neighbor. This person really knows how to drop a tree exactly where he wants it to land."

"Very well! A storm blew a large tree branch onto the roof of our garage. I had their business card and called Advance Tree Service for a free quote, and the owner, himself, was at my house in 10 minutes! He was very busy that day with all the storm damage but made sure he and his crew took care of the heavy branch that same day, so the roof would not become further damaged. The remainder of the tree was unhealthy and took a couple more visits to be completely removed. They cleaned everything up just beautifully when they were finished. I will definitely hire them again!"

"Called them, 2 hours later they were on the job. estimated 400 , job came in at 350.00.
4 of them showed up and worked as a team to get the trees pulled away from the house and safely cut down. It was fun watching these professionals in action. You could tell they knew what they were doing. They even knocked down a few extra problem trees. I will use them again.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Trees aren't big fans of moving, and they do go into shock during a transplant. Although most carefully thought-out tree transplants see the tree recover from the shock just fine, there is always a risk of having an unsuccessful move. Proper preparation, timing, and diligent aftercare are crucial to minimize the risks when transplanting a tree.

Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree. 

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.

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.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
