"Geo removed 6 dead trees and trimmed 3 live trees of limbs over hanging the house and understory trees. The dead trees were mature (huge!) and one was intertwined with three live trees - a real magic trick to remove and Geo's team made it look so easy! I would give these guys 6 stars if I could. Their fee was more than reasonable. Professional, knowledgeable, prompt and skillful - you won't be disappointed using Geo's Tree Service. We will use them again next year. We still have dead ash trees..."

"The Grinding Crew did a great job removing 2 tree stumps. They scheduled the job quickly and showed up as promised. They cleaned up the excess dirt and wood chips from the lawn much better than I have seen from other stump removal companies. I highly recommend them!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)
