"I had 4 basswood trees that were cut down but I needed the stumps to be removed. Bill came and assessed for me and also saw I had an older oak tree stump as well. He was able to give me a very reasonable quote and did a great job! He also offered me top soil and to seed it so the job was actually complete. I’ll use them again for sure."

"AWESOME work, well beyond my expectations. Three phase project after cement landscape curbing was installed. They installed grey trap rock and refreshed existing rock beds, installed Cypress mulch and added to existing boulder rip-rap rock along a pond. Professional, courteous, graciously worked with my timeframe. Mariano was a pleasure to work with, his entire crew very hard working. They took meticulous care of my property. I highly recommend Romero Landscape and Tree Service with NO reservations. If you hire them, you won't be disappointed."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Yes, pruning makes trees stronger because it fosters proper growth, weight distribution, and balance of the crown. By increasing the structural integrity of the tree through pruning, it’s less likely to experience disease, pests, broken limbs, and storm damage. Pruning the right branches and limbs is key to improving a tree’s strength and balance.

After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It’s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.

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.

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.

If an arborist is certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the highest level of certification available is ISA Board Certified Master Arborist. According to the ISA, this credential is reserved for arborists “who have reached the pinnacle of their profession.” Check your arborist’s credentials before hiring to confirm their level of training and expertise.
