"Wonderful!! They contacted me the same day I posted on Angi and took down the trees a few days later. They came back within a week to trim a couple bushes and lay all of the mulch! We also hired them to cut our grass for the season. They were prompt, reasonably priced, friendly and did a great job! I would definitely recommend them!"

"I looked for some tree service to be done in and around my house and was quoted several prices. Mabes Tree Service was by far the cheapest so the work was in order. Dustin Mabe ( owner) was very personable as was his entire crew. They did excellent work, cleaned up the area nicely. After the fact i decided to bring them back to take out 7 stumps which they promptly and efficiently did. I highly recommend Mabes Tree Service for tree removal and stump grinding. Give them a call throw them your business. You'll be glad you did."

"I hired Richard to remove a pear tree from my yard. He and his crew arrived at the time promised. They did a great job cutting the tree down, removing the cuttings, cleaning the yard. and removing the stump. His team was hard working, professional and very courteous. The price for job was very reasonable and I will use him in the future for all my tree work. Pete H Lexington"

"We too had an excellent experience with Triad. These guys really are the best. Professional, punctual, courteous and extremely skilled. I contacted them Thursday morning, had an estimate from them that afternoon, and they had a full crew out here hard at work the next day. Performed difficult tree removal in a very tight spot. They're exactly what you want in a tree service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Full decorating services often provide rental trees for their Christmas packages, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding one. However, individual interior decorators and others may not offer rented trees, so always check the specifics of their services before booking. Keep in mind that you’ll need to prepare the Christmas tree for pick-up shortly after the holidays.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.

Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.
