"AAA Tree Service did an excellent job topping a dead tree that was hanging over my fence and garden. They were easy to work with, professional throughout the entire process, and willing to stay within my budget. The crew was efficient and made the whole experience stress-free. It was a pleasure working with them—I highly recommend their services and would absolutely use them again."

"We have used TruFast Tree Service three times now. Right after we bought our house they came out and cleaned up a severely overgrown tree that was growing onto our roof and chimney. A couple years later we had them come out and just trim up that same tree and one in our front yard. And today they came out and cleaned out some conflicting branches and removed a dead limb off our front yard tree. Every time the workers are polite, professional, and know what they are doing. They do a great job and clean up any mess. I couldn't be happier with their service."

"This tree service was perfect and very professional. They were very personal and friendly! My neighbors were very impressed with the final change of my yard with over grown pine trees removed and low branches on other trees trimmed. I would recommend this tree service because of costs and great service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

Trees aren't big fans of moving, and they do go into shock during a transplant. Although most carefully thought-out tree transplants see the tree recover from the shock just fine, there is always a risk of having an unsuccessful move. Proper preparation, timing, and diligent aftercare are crucial to minimize the risks when transplanting a tree.

If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:

  • Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.

  • Support businesses that plant trees. 

  • Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.

  • Donate to a tree-planting charity.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.
