"Jay & his crew neatly & professionally cut large limbs from a large walnut tree that had grown over my roof. The job was completed without damaging the tree, my roof, yard & landscaping. The crew even cut up the limbs for my firewood pile, & left me a great pile of mulch for my landscape. I will definitely be using Jay's Firewood & Mulch, LLC again. 5 star service at an affordable price."

"Jay's Firewood & Mulch, LLC did a fantastic job! Jay & his crew had all the necessary equipment for removing large tree limbs that had grown over the roof of my house. The crew was very careful to not damage the old majestic tree, as well as taking care not to damage my roof, yard or existing landscaping. The turnaround time after accepting the very affordable bid was quick. Jay & his crew also neatly stacked the wood for my fireplace, as well as providing a very large mulch pile for my landscape. I highly recommend Jay's Firewood & Mulch, LLC, & I plan on using them again. 5 stars all the way!!"

"Mr. Baumann was relatively punctual in responding to my phone call for an appointment (given that it was summer and a prime season for tree work). He came out to the house within a few days, assessed the work, gave the price and estimated when the team would be out to do the work. His crew was very efficient, did exactly as planned and cleaned up completely. We were very satisfied with the entire experience. They even trimmed so that the remaining branches on our side were rather artfully cut --- not an electric company straight line."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.  

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.

Palm trees are unique in that their roots don't grow straight down; they grow horizontally. Typically, palm tree roots go down between 12 and 36 inches deep. The roots grow far and wide from the base of the palm tree to absorb as much water and soil nutrients as possible. In addition, the horizontal roots are also very strong—keeping palm trees stable and helping them sway during storms.
