Get matched with top tree service pros in Bowling Green, MO

Q: What time of year is best to transplant a tree?

• <div><p>The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.</p></div>

Q: Do I have to remove a tree stump?

• <div><p>Unless there&rsquo;s some sort of rule in your community&rsquo;s homeowners&rsquo; association that requires you to remove a stump, there&rsquo;s no law that says you have to take it out. If you&rsquo;re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-stump-ideas-your-yard.htm">get creative with this tree remnant</a>. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump. </p></div>

Q: How long does commercial tree trimming take?

• <div><p>Most jobs take 2-8 hours, but extensive trimming may take multiple days.</p></div>

Q: How close to a septic tank can I plant a tree?

• <div><p>Talking with a septic pro before planting trees near your tank is best to ensure the roots won&rsquo;t interfere with your septic system. However, there is an easy way to figure out where to plant a tree&mdash;but you&rsquo;ll need to know how tall it can get when it&rsquo;s fully grown. For instance, if the tree can reach 50 feet, plant it at least 50 feet from your septic system.</p></div>

Q: Can you trim a palm tree with a chainsaw?

• <div><p>Yes, you can prune a palm tree with a chainsaw, but a chainsaw is overkill for a job like this. You risk damaging the tree if you make a bad cut. More commonly, you&rsquo;ll need pruning shears or a serrated knife to trim a palm tree, or you can use a specialized pruning saw instead of a chainsaw. </p></div>

"Mason came in a very timely manner to take a look at my walnut tree in my back yard. He knew I didn't want to lose the tree but needed it cleaned up because it was in bad shape. He made it look absolutely beautiful and it's healthier than I've ever seen it. He also cleaned up everything that fell to the ground like he was never there! I'll definitely be calling him again for future tree work. I would recommend highly Tri state forestry !"
