"Hired them for a major yard transformation. They removed 3 major oak trees, several large cedars, and countless brush, bushes, & ivy. This crew works extremely hard, efficient, and very well skilled. The crane operator and bobcat drivers are very talented with their maneuvers and make quick work of seemingly dicey tasks. All of the crew very nice and left us a clean yard. Great value. Wouldn't go to anyone else for a similar job"

"Oscar's Tree Service provided a very competitive quote. They were able to work my job into a very tight timeframe and did excellent work. They avoided nearby landscaping when removing the tree and left the yard as clean as when they started. I would highly recommend them!"

"This company delivered on what the job called for. Very professional. I had three large trees that came down in the storm week of August 4th. They cut them up and removed. Trimmed all the damaged trees. Hauled away all excess wood. Was able to mulch limbs back into our woods. They were able to spread the wood chips back into our natural areas. Went above and beyond what they said they would do. Arrived on time and finished in the time they had indicated. Pricing was far better than other quotes that I received. All my tree needs will be handled by M & T.."

"We were beyond happy with the service provided by Lawn & Order and would use them again anytime. In fact, since the following job finished, we have recently had them back to discuss tree plantings for this fall. The owner Joe came out to walk the yard with me before he scheduled the job, to better understand what we needed done. He had suggestions when I sought them as to how to deal with various landscaping problems. He is very knowledgeable about landscaping for this area. The crew he sent spent 3 days at our home and did a wonderful, thorough job. They were quickly adaptable the two times I asked them to take out an additional small tree or bush that they had thought we wanted to keep. They were courteous and pleasant to talk to. Lawn & Order bills by the job, with the cost estimate broken down for each separate part of the work. I can't overestimate how massive our job was. They took out three full dump-trucks full of tree limbs and pruned material and did a fair amount of tree limb removal. Here is the cost estimate (and the final bill was exactly this amount): *Pruning of trees, bushes & removal of unwanted vegetation - 2500 *Debris removal / dump fees – 400 *Install pinestraw in front areas – 490 *Install shredded mulch in back around playset – 295 Project Total: 3,685 We are thrilled with how the yard looks. These folks are top notch."

"Highly recommend R&L Tree Service! Pete came out for our estimate and was quite fascinating to talk to, his knowledge and professionalism is impressive. We got a very reasonable estimate for the removal of a very large dead elm, pruning and moving a couple of younger trees. On removal day this team was incredible to watch. Everything was well thought out and executed with continuous communication. Our neighbors were so impressed that they ask me for their information. Clean up was perfect...like no one was here. Also, something else we really loved, trees are recycled back into nature. Thank you R&L!"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

Most trees can be successfully transplanted while they are young, but pines, walnuts, and some oak tree varieties are more difficult to move because their root systems grow deeper than most other trees. Also, trees adapted to sandy soil with wide root systems like beeches, willows, and aspens are harder to dig out because their roots spread much farther out from the trunk. In these cases, unless the trees are very young and small, it’s a good idea to consult a tree planting professional.
