"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."

"Francos; Landscaping did an excellent job for us and I strongly recommend them. They replaced the wooden posts on our lower deck, rebuilt the stairs that lead up to our upper deck and they also replaced the stairs that led to our backyard. His team worked very hard in our winter weather completing these projects. All of our projects were done extremely well, timely and the team was courteous and punctual each day. They did exactly what was needed here and gave us good solutions to rotten and decaying wood issues. They also made sure that all debris was hauled away quickly and their follow-up on the completion day was excellent. Id also like to say that for each project, they included a review of their work with us. They were the right team for the projects we needed. We would definitely hire them again!"

"Summit Land Development and Scott Lewis did an excellent job on our fill and grading project despite having a couple of challenges with local providers of fill. What was key was excellent communication and always having an option available to stay on schedule and budget. I would highly recommend Scott and his crew without any reservations. If you have a challenging project and need a skilled team then Summit Land Development is your team!"

"Smith Tree took down 5 trees at my house - some of the trees were incredibly close to the house, and they handled the project like the professionals they are. They cleaned up the yard afterwards, and went above and beyond on this job. I will absolutely hire them again to clear more trees/brush off of our property once our yard is properly surveyed. They are honest, hardworking folks. 10/10"

"We had a great experience with Hingewood Tree service. Beginning with being punctual when they arrived to give us an estimate. They gave us a competitive rate for cutting and removing 7 large pines and poplars that were beginning to block our view. They then arrived promptly the following day and worked efficiently until the work was finished and thoroughly cleaned the job site. Robert was professional and listened very carefully to our concerns prior to beginning work. Mellissa was diligent with our initial inquiry and scheduling their arrival on site. Their work was so good that we decided to have them remove more trees the following day. We couldn’t have been more pleased and satisfied with our experience with Hingewood Tree. We highly recommend them for your next tree job!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.

Any cutting of tree roots can hurt or kill a tree, which is why it's recommended you don’t do it unless the roots are damaging or invasive on a nearby structure like your home. You should never cut more than 15 percent of above-ground tree roots at one time. If you have any questions about cutting tree roots, contact your local arborist.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

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.
