Highly recommend them if you need any trees taken out."
"The team was great after reviewing different ideas and choosing the right brick took about 4 days. The longest was the supplier where Cornerstone got their material that too the longest which stretched the project out longer. I was so impressed with the way Owner Eric worked with me I hired him for some additional landscaping work and it’s turning out GREAT!"
"Project: Cut down trees. The work was done on time and on budget. Mr. Herman is a state licensed arborist. He kept me informed throughout. His crew was polite and professional. They did an excellent job of cutting and trimming about a dozen mature trees. They cleaned everything up at the end of each day and hauled everything away. Price was very reasonable."
Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.
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.
Usually, trees cannot grow back after their stump has been ground, but some very hearty types of trees can. For example, if you have a black locust or Redford pear, the grinding will need to go deep to prevent them from growing back. Ask your tree service or stump removal expert whether your tree can resprout after its stump is ground down.
If an arborist is certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the highest level of certification available is ISA Board Certified Master Arborist. According to the ISA, this credential is reserved for arborists “who have reached the pinnacle of their profession.” Check your arborist’s credentials before hiring to confirm their level of training and expertise.
Service costs depend on several factors, including the system's age, type, and size, as well as the complexity of the repair. Labor costs and whether replacement parts are necessary also play a significant role.
