Q: What signs does a tree show if it’s been struck by lightning?

• <div><p>After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It&rsquo;s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.</p></div>

Q: Can I take down a tree myself?

• <div><p>It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.</p><p>For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.</p><p>Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.</p></div>

Q: How do you transport a fully-grown tree?

• <div><p>Transporting a fully-grown tree requires heavy equipment, typically specialized for the task. A tree spade is a truck-mounted tool that removes the tree from the ground in one location, transports it, and places it in a new hole in a new location. A combination of mechanized shovels and lifts is necessary to move very large trees, and the exact tools often depend on location and the surrounding area.</p></div>

Q: Should I grind or dig up my tree stump?

• <div><p>Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won&rsquo;t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you&rsquo;ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.</p></div>

Q: How close can you dig next to a tree without killing it?

• <div><p>As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1&frac12; times as wide as the canopy of the tree&rsquo;s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.</p></div>

"NA Tree Service crew was able to remove 4 large trees that had become a hazard to my house. They arrived on time and quickly began to take down the trees. Due to the excessive heat, cooling breaks were taken- causing the crew to return the next morning to remove the remaining debris. They did a great job at an affordable cost.
