"Called in the morning to schedule removal of two 30 foot arborvites. They said it could be done that day. By 5:00 pm the trees were gone, the area was cleaned up and the trees were hauled away in a very timely manner. Would highly recommend for tree / landscaping work."

"I can't say enough about my experience with Woodchoppers Tree Service. From the start to the finish, nothing but exceptional. Jeremy was the first contact I received and was here within 30 minutes to review our requirements. We discussed what was needed with his experieced input. He gave me a written quote before leaving. I called him back to schedule the work which would be about 2 weeks later. Within a few days Jeremy contacted me to say he could come sooner if it worked for me. We agreed on a date, he sent a message to confirm. On the scheduled date he sent me a message advising of his arrival time. Upon arrival he and his crew immediately went to work trimming a maple tree, a large magnolia tree and removing a crabapple tree then grinding the tree stump leaving nothing on the ground to be picked up. Done within an hour and a half. Great job and very fair price. Will call him again for all future tree work."

"Steve is pretty amazing and extremely quick to help me get the job done in under 24 hours. I have worked with a lot of individuals, independent contractors, and even some of the large companies. I would have thought I would ever work with some like him as many are on there time schedule or late even as far as never show up as promised. I can absolutely say this that I would never receive timely, quality work and an individual like Steve from Speedy Stump, LLC. If you need help in removing a tree stump, you’ll never regret hiring this gentleman and his company"

"The Drop Zone team was priced very comparable to 2 other quotes I received, they were able to schedule the tree removal 3 weeks earlier than the other quotes. The workers showed up on time, cut down the tree and other branches from a nearby tree that were hanging over my roof, protected my lawn and landscaping, did an excellent job of cleaning up the work site, and were personable to deal with."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Common signs that a tree is rotting include dead branches, a leaning trunk, peeling or cracked bark, leaf discoloration, and the presence of fungi. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to hire an arborist near you to inspect your tree and determine if it can be saved or if it needs to come down.

You can hire a professional arborist or tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure safety, prevent property damage, and comply with all the local regulations. It’s highly advisable to always hire a professional, as tree removal can be extremely dangerous, especially for large or damaged trees. Certified arborists or tree removal experts have the proper equipment, training, and insurance to do the job safely and efficiently. They can also handle cleanup, stump removal, and obtaining the necessary permits.

No, you cannot throw branches from your neighbor’s tree back into their yard, nor can you discard leaves or other plant matter that originated from their yard back over there if it happens to land in your yard. You are responsible for cleaning up plant matter that made its way into your yard.

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

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.
