"The job required digging up a lot of invasive plants under a large oak tree in clay soil. We had to dig 4 to 6 inches down. The work was done well. He was very friendly. We just had some problems with scheduling. Other than that great help."

"I was searching for a tree trimming company with a trained/certified arborist and hit the jackpot. Elbert Holt, who was the company rep in our city was very forthcoming in evaluating my 100 year old oak. It lost some limbs via the 120+ mph winds during the derecho we had in Cedar Rapids, IA on Aug 10, 2020. I wanted to see if it would be harmed by pruning (months before the normal winter pruning season). Elbert reassured me that it would okay to clean up the few broken limbs to provide clean cuts to increase the likelihood it will survive this stressful experience. Their team of climbers did a great job of cleaning up my tree. Their skill and work ethic was fantastic to witness. They also did a huge project at my sisters house to remove limbs from the roof of her house and cutting down 4 trees : one of which was a large diameter (~ 56 in ) silver maple that was growing in between 2 houses. I was skeptical about this company since they were not â localâ . I received great personal reviews from others in town who used their services."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In nature, there are many things that can cause a tree to die, including diseases, insects, and natural disasters such as fires or droughts. Non-natural methods of killing a tree include herbicides or manual intervention, such as cutting it down. Consult a tree removal professional about your options for naturally killing a tree.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.

If it’s your property, then you can plant a tree near power lines, but it’s not the best idea. Any vegetation that grows within 10 feet or so of power lines will fall under the responsibility of the utility company, and they may trim or remove it as necessary. If you do move forward with your plan, try to choose a smaller ornamental tree, plant it as far away from the power lines as you can, and keep it trimmed to avoid future problems.

Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:

  • The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.

  • The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.

  • The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.
