"Most professional and reliable landscapers in town. They start by doing the spring turn up for me and then mow my yard weekly. If there are any issues with my yard they point them out to me and make suggestions like if I need to water more often. They do the Autumn blowouts for me as well before winter and then I am going to have them do snow removal as well. Everyone is really nice and very professional. Thank you !!"

I am a veteran, current college student, sawyer, and a wild land fire fighter. I have always wanted to start my own business and make a name for myself. It’s my goal to create a business that benefits my community and brings me purpose. I hope that through my work I can help others stay safe, and get what they want out of the business I offer.

"Besides being an expert arborist, Joseph is a fantastic communicator. He responded immediately, gave us a fair estimate, and communicated thoroughly throughout and after the tress were removed. We had a difficult job but Joseph and his men did beautiful work. I highly recommend Champion Tree Trimming Service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.

Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they’re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.

The average lifespan of an oak tree is 100 to 300 years, so long as it isn’t impacted by diseases like sudden oak death. Some species will last shorter or longer, depending on where you live.

While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment.
