Q: Do you need two peach trees to produce fruit?

• <div><p>Unlike some fruit trees, such as apple, sweet cherry, or pear that require at least two trees for pollination, most peach trees are self-pollinating. This means you can plant just one tree and still expect it to produce fruit, typically within two to four years. For best results, consult with a local landscaper to choose the right peach tree variety for your specific climate, soil type, and yard layout.</p></div>

Q: What time of year should you not trim trees?

• <div><p>Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to remove the roots of a dead tree?

• <div><p>Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they&rsquo;re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.</p></div>

Q: How long does tree removal take?

• <div><p>For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-stump-removal.htm">stump removal</a>. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.</p></div>

Q: How do I find a reputable and cost-effective tree transplanting professional?

• <div><p>Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers&rsquo; compensation insurance. </p><p>Also, look for companies certified by the <a href="https://www.isa-arbor.com/">International Society of Arboriculture</a> or registered with the <a href="https://www.tcia.org/">Tree Care Industry Association</a> and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.</p></div>

"Noah and Crew actually built a Pole Barn for me. It’s 30’x48’ with attic trusses. They did an amazing job, it’s actually so nice I wish we didn’t cover it in tin metal! Perfectly square and amazing craftsmanship. Noah is very talented and trustworthy. I will most definitely be using him for other projects that we have. I’m also going to have him install a tin roof on my 1907 House. Thank you Noah and God Bless you Brother!"
