"I wish you had a rating of 10 as this company was a Perfect 10. Robert (owner) first met with me to discuss the project. Robert was extremely helpful in answering EVERY question and concern that I had. I felt very comfortable that he understood what I expected and all was accomplished. Then there's his employees. Awesome job - very detailed and fun! I told them all I wanted to do was water the areas and watch the grass grow and that is what I am doing. 9 trees in 3 different areas were removed and several trees were cleaned up and look great. Thank you, 1st Choice Tree & Landscaping for helping me out!!!!"

"AAA Tree Pros did an excellent job removing 2 diseased ash trees from our property. They offered a fair price, scheduled the work very quickly, and handled everything safely and professionally. The crew removed the trees, hauled away all the wood, and ground the stumps thoroughly. The cleanup was great as well. Very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them."

"Mikeâ s Dirtwork did an excellent job removing two trees in my backyard,, and trimming another tree. One tree was a massive, tall, and wide silver maple with long roots getting close to my home foundation. To prevent damage to my home, I opted to remove the tree. His crew is the best! They work well together, and easily removed this massive tree. They cleaned up the area very well, Mike is very pleasant, and friendly, as are his crew. Mikeâ s price was reasonable, Mike tries very hard to please the customer. I highly recommend Mikeâ s Dirtwork! They are the BEST!"

"PHENOMENAL ~ Ever wonder what a Perfect Review would look like? Here it is. I put out an "All Call" for Tree Service, overhanging Power Lines, with branches beginning to break away and fall. Hector and Baron Tree Services responded IMMEDIATELY. I'm talking within 30 minutes. And, he was at the Project Site in under 90 minutes. Oh ~ At the beginning of the weekend. Scenario ~ 2 Trees, Lg and Sm Branches breaking and falling on Power Lines ~ So Many Things with heightened risk. Estimate provided. Following due diligence on my part, Baron was top Response, On-Site Assessment, Bid (25% lower than all others; Disabled Veteran Discount). Start date 48 hrs. This is not AI, although it went this perfectly. Cordial, Professional, Punctual, Personable, Transparent... Job finished without incidents and site clean-up was meticulous and thorough. Baron (and Hector) ~ Call 1st, Respond 1st, Onsite 1st, Quote 1st, Project 1st. Folks ~ Every box you need checked when considering, or hiring,"

"There were two options; trim trees and have the trimmings removed or have the trees trimmed and left for a much lower fee. We opted for the second option and have been cleaning up our yard for a month but we were also happy to keep the firewood. Our original quote was inaccurate as they found we needed more trimming than originally ally estimated. As a result we agreed to a higher cost as the work was being finished. They did an excellent job and it was amazing to watch as they trimmed trees away from our property buildings with extreme care and accuracy. They truly did a great job in caring for all of our property and in the end the extra cost was worth it. Highly recommended!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

In most cases, your neighbor is responsible for roots from their tree that cause damage to your property. If your pavement, the foundation of your home, or a fence is damaged by roots from a neighbor’s tree, you likely will have legal recourse for financial relief. While it’s better to notify your neighbor of any problems you notice as soon as they arise to avoid costly damage, there are some instances where filing a civil suit is your only recourse. Your homeowner’s insurance company might wish to do so on your behalf if you file a claim.

All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it’s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

Early signs that a tree is struggling include premature leaf shedding and lesions or other strange markings. Peeling bark, dead or rotten branches on the ground, and a conspicuous lack of leaves can all be signs that a tree has started to die. By the time a tree starts leaning, it’s usually too far gone to save.

Most tree removals take 3-8 hours, requiring additional time for stump grinding or debris hauling.
