Get matched with top tree service pros in Houlka, MS

Q: How far away from my house should I plant a tree?

• <div><p>You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.</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: Will these steps work If I’m planting a potted palm tree?

• <div><p>Absolutely. These steps are significantly easier, too, especially when it comes to preserving the root ball and moving the palm tree. However, you will want to make sure the tree has plenty of fertilizer to establish itself and start growing. Supports may also be more important, as it can take extra time for a potted palm to spread out its roots. If you are transferring a palm to another pot, you&rsquo;ll want to move up a size or two to a larger pot. Make sure the pot has excellent drainage to keep the palm from getting waterlogged.</p></div>

Q: When do dead trees fall over?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How can I tell when a tree is dead?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-dead-or-dormant.htm">dead or dormant</a>, especially if it&rsquo;s a deciduous tree. You&rsquo;ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree&rsquo;s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.</p></div>

Got an estimate on another tree when they left. I can't imaging not hiring them again for any tree I need."
