"My neighbor came over and hired them that very evening to pull a small, dying tree from their yard. I think, after they saw the work that they did for us, they were impressed enough to come over and ask to get their job done."

"The men at Home Time Construction were very professional and approachable. Their attention to detail was great. The top wood was replaced and the rest of the porch was painted on the bigger porch. The smaller porch was sanded and painted. I would definitely hire them again."

"I reached out to him on a Sunday evening for a quote and within 24 hrs he was at my home and we talked about what was priority and what could wait for next spring. We scheduled the tree removal for 2 days later and when he arrived, he got the job done in less than an hour. His prices were affordable and we spoke about him coming back to remove a larger tree and several stumps. I’ll be sure to recommend him to those I know that’s looking to have trees removed"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are many signs that a tree is diseased or dying, and if you suspect that’s the case, you should call an arborist immediately. You might notice rot or fungus on the trunk or that the tree is beginning to lean to one side. Brittle branches or signs of root damage are other indicators that a tree is in trouble. If the tree is dying, it might be time to cut the tree down so it doesn’t fall.

Often, it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to handle the aftermath when a neighbor’s tree falls on their property. But if a tree has been obviously dead for a significant period of time and caused damage when it fell, a case can be made that the owner should have removed it, especially if the neighbor wrote you a letter about the tree or asked you to take it down. This can be grounds for a successful lawsuit in claims court and is a good reason to always pay attention to your trees and remove dead trees before they fall.

Professionals use assessments, strategic cuts, specialized equipment, and safety measures to ensure healthy growth or the safe removal of trees or shrubs.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.
