"We had them remove a tree that had fallen over from our lot onto some of my neighbors trees. They also trimmed several branches on some other trees and remove a couple of dead trees. They arrived early to complete the project and finished it professionally. I recommend this company for tree services."

"I was so pleased with A's Tree Service Corp. They were exactly what I wanted, someone to come in and just remove all of the trees from a very overgrown property we had just purchased. The job was huge and also difficult. The trees on my property were many stories high, entangled with power lines of two houses and were in close proximity of my neighbor's houses. I was so pleased with their professionalism and dedication to removing 9 very large trees in one day, WITHOUT A PROBLEM!!!! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking into tree removal! Thank you As!!!"

"Excellent! Outstanding work. Excellent team of workers. Initially had contracted for removal of 3 very large trees. After completing the work, decided to have an additional 2 large trees cut down. Followed instructions and moved the cut up tree pieces to exactly where I wanted them. Very highly recommended. Will be using them in the near future for sure"

"First Choice Tree Expert, Juan A. Garcia, and his team did an amazing job. They expertly tackled a very tall, partially dead pin oak tree on our front lawn needing to be removed, plus stump grinding and removal of a giant limb from our roof. This was a tough job, and we were on a deadline. First Choice really came through for us. We highly recommend Juan and his team. Thank you!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

Pruning a tree is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.

No, you cannot throw branches from your neighbor’s tree back into their yard, nor can you discard leaves or other plant matter that originated from their yard back over there if it happens to land in your yard. You are responsible for cleaning up plant matter that made its way into your yard.

Often, it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to handle the aftermath when a neighbor’s tree falls on their property. But if a tree has been obviously dead for a significant period of time and caused damage when it fell, a case can be made that the owner should have removed it, especially if the neighbor wrote you a letter about the tree or asked you to take it down. This can be grounds for a successful lawsuit in claims court and is a good reason to always pay attention to your trees and remove dead trees before they fall.

Carefully pruning small roots no thicker than three inches in diameter won’t harm the tree. However, cutting larger roots may impact the tree's stability and nutrient absorption. It's advisable to consult an arborist or tree care professional to evaluate the root's size, the tree's health, and the potential impact of cutting. Proper tree pruning techniques and timing can minimize damage, but larger root removal may necessitate expert guidance to avoid compromising the tree's overall health and stability.
