Customers say: True professional

"I had a 50ft tree in my yard that split at the root and it was on the verge of falling over onto a neighbor s fence. The tree was leaning on another tree for support. I also had about 8 unwanted trees and some branches that needed to be removed because they were touching the house. Aaron stopped by and gave me an estimate. He was professional, friendly, and personable. Due to the severity of one of the trees (danger of falling and destroying my neighbor s property or hurting my own family) and because the weather permitted, he stated that he could get a crew out the next day. I did my research in advance for prices in the Grand Rapids area and expectations since I ve never had tree work done before. The estimate that he gave me was extremely fair. The guys arrived the next morning and were just as personable as Aaron. They confirmed with me what was to get done and they seemed unbothered that I checked in with them a few times during the day. I was nervous for them because of the tree that was about to fall over but they supported that tree with other trees and got it down safely. The clean up was completed thoroughly and all debris from the trees were removed from my yard. I also asked for an additional tree to be removed after the job was started and that process to come to an agreement was seamless. I recommend A&D."

Tree Service 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.

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.  

In most ways, palm trees are incredibly low-maintenance. They don’t need a ton of water—which is why they’re so beloved in desert regions—and they basically prune themselves. But they do need an ample supply of sunlight and to be in soil that will allow for proper drainage so that their roots don’t become waterlogged and at risk of developing illnesses.

If the plant begins to wilt, develop spots, or change color, these could all be signs that your palm tree has a disease. But a few basic treatments, like pruning and applying fungicide, will usually be more than enough to return it to perfect health.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.
