"I hired Bechtelâ  s Lawn Care to remove approximately 200 pine trees from an area where construction is planned. The estimated time for the job was spot on. Bechtelâ  s can be trusted to complete the job without needing to be observed 100% of the time. I was very pleased and will be using their services in the future."

"I wanted two trees pruned and canopy raised on trees with young branches, some ontop of my roof and nearby neighbors roof. BnR presented a business card, wore a company logo on shirt, presented a license on his cell phone, assured he performed professional experienced service. BnR (Brian Rutherford quoted me $750 for 2 trees but $500 minimum for one and would not agree to less even with the issues that arose. BnR arrived around 4:30 PM with a large bucket truck and small back shovel. I was told the backshovel would fit through my gate and around an air conditioner. Upon arrival it was clear that the backshovel would not fit through my gate and BnR wanted to dismantle my fence. Luckily I asked my neighbor permission to operate from their yard which allowed access. BnR attempted to move the large truck onto neighbor's yard where it began to sank, especially after days of rain and soil enudation which I cautioned BnR's plan. BnR pulled the large equipment off lawn and a worker tried to repair it before switching to the backshovel. Brian had one worker climb into the shovel and use a pole-saw to prune while another climbed upon the roof to cut some branches laying on roof. BnR did not prune all the branches that needed pruning and they worked by twilight and it was very dark when they finished around 6:30 PM. This may have contributed to the pruning not to my desires. I stayed nearby the whole time and although we reviewed the job again with Brian before his workers arrived with the equipment, I kept reminding him to prune certain branches during the job. These were kind workers but $500 was pricey for the job."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, most of the time you’re out of luck if a neighbor’s tree blocks your view. You don’t have a right to a view, so if you have a tree that’s near the property line but on your neighbor’s property, you can’t cut it to be able to take in a majestic mountain or a beautiful sunrise. In some communities, however, there are ordinances protecting scenic views. Checking into your local laws can help you determine your rights in this situation.

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.

Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don’t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.
