I couldn't be happier with the service and all at a fair price. I would highly recommend and will be calling them this Fall for additional projects!"

Customers say: True professional

"J&J offered a highly competitive bid to down three (3) very large, dead widow-maker oak trees at our residence, one as high as 80-ft tall. James and his two assistants arrived as promised, on time, and completed the entire job in less than one hour. They neatly stacked the cutup trunks aside (for our future fire-pit usage) like it was some feather-weight Legos kids' game! They also included cutting up previous dead-falls in the price. I highly recommend J&J to local homeowners, and in fact have forwarded their color ad-card to a relative's well-known construction business in Pequot Lakes. FIVE-STARS!"

"Can't not say enough good things about this company. Quality work, expeditious service at a very competitive price. Their crew also do a fantastic cleanup job as there was not a branch, twig or leave left on my lawn. If you are looking for tree service save yourself a lot of time and hire Mike."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.

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.

Aim to have your trees inspected and pruned in early spring. At this point in the year, tree service professionals can note where there is old growth from winter and cut that back to encourage new growth for the rest of the year. Pruning at the wrong time of the year could make your trees prone to diseases.

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.
