"Excellent work. The oak was cleanly removed. No divots left behind that a handful of dirt and a sprinkle of grass seed didn't fix. Didn't squash any other trees or crack my driveway with falling debris because he cut/dropped small pieces. Best price I could find. Only arborist to communicate well. Every single one I contacted aside from Steve was either a no-call or a no-show, some multiple times. Steve called when he said, arrived when he said, and did what he said he was going to do. He was also very flexible in doing an additional branch on late request on another tree at an affordable rate. Very highly recommended. I will be having more work done by him. Don't bother calling these other companies. You probably won't even hear back."

"Absolutely fantastic. A few of the workers had some idle time while waiting for their truck to return so they trimmed all the dead branches on all the other trees in my large country acreage. Plus removed some bushes that I wanted gone but were not included in my bill. Even ground out the roots on those bushes. All at no extra cost! Clean up was complete. Fast , very friendly even with both dogs, sawed all the trees into fireplace size logs and neatly piled them . So above and beyond what anyone would have expected"

"I was very protective of how much limbing had to be done. We had some sick branches up high and we were concerned about loosing the tree altogether at some point. Jesse kept assureing me that it would fill back in and it would be ok. Only time will tell on that account, at this time I am confindent he knows that it will. All and all good experince.

"Leslie Tree Trunk were just amazing. They did everything they said they would. The most impressive thing of all is that they only charged a fraction of what the othe companies Home Advisor asked me to get a bid from. They cut an 85ft tree down in 2 days and you would have never known they were here. I would recommend them to anyone needing tree removal or trimming. The guaranteed their work and are licensed, certified and insured."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

There are a few instances in which removing a tree is the best option. You might do this if the tree looks to be a major danger—potentially falling onto your home, your car, or other parts of your property—or it’s diseased beyond repair. A tree that is growing too close to your house might need to be removed to prevent mold growth.

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.
