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

Q: When should a tree be cut down?

• <div><p>A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that&rsquo;s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it&rsquo;s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/arborists/">hire a local arborist</a> who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.</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 do you cut down a tree without a chainsaw?

• <div><p>You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. </p></div>

Q: Do tree roots regrow if cut?

• <div><p>Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they&rsquo;re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree&rsquo;s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stop-tree-roots-growing-back.htm">how to get rid of regrowing tree roots</a> is a separate feat). Still, if you don&rsquo;t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of palm trees?

• <div><p>While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.</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 !"
