"Great experience having this company cut down our tree. They not only cut the tree but left the area like one hadn’t even been there. From the first time we communicated with Oscar until the job was complete, he was very prompt to respond. Would highly recommend this company for services."

"They did an excellent job. Arrived exactly at 9:00 a.m. and worked the entire day... I had about 12 stumps that needed to be ground down, and each one was done precisely as we discussed before starting. I would recommend this professional for any necessary stump grinding, including those in hard to reach areas."

"I have used this company since 2008 and have had them cut down about 12 trees. One was a huge pine with a trunk width of about 30 inches. They have cut down a couple of poplars that were over 100 feet tall. Everything has been done safely, quickly and on time. I burn lots of wood in my fireplace and they are always willing to cut and leave short lengths of trunk for my fireplace. The price has always been reasonable, they take credit cards and will leave the chipped limbs behind to fill in low spots in my backyard. This is a great company that you can depend on."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Steer clear of the area and contact your utility company immediately. It will have a website portal and/or a phone number to report downed trees and electrical issues. If the tree appears to be on public land, you may want to call your local government and report the issue there, too.

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

Since overwatering can harm mature trees just as much as a lack of water, it’s important to know the signs of an overwatered tree. If your tree’s leaves are yellowing, wilting, or dropping leaves, it’s likely that you’re overwatering. Other common signs include rotting, fungi, soggy soil, soft or peeling bark, falling leaves, and brittle roots. 

If you realize that you’ve been overwatering your mature tree, stop watering and give the soil time to dry out. Then moving forward, increase time between watering sessions. 

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.
