"Josh was excellent. He removed a huge oak tree from my roof. He took the tree apart piece by piece. He carefully placed the debris around the other small trees in my yard. I would recommend this business anytime any day of the week, 100%."

"I hired Ziembaâ s landscaping and tree service for removal of 10 trees. I knew it would be expensive and have been putting it off. When Mr. Ziemba came out to do a free estamite I was very surprised that the price was very affordable. He came out the same week and removed all 10 trees in one day. He and his crew were very respectful and went above and beyond to make sure the trees were removed safely and efficiently. Once the trees were down, he cleaned up all the brush and wood leaving my yard looking flawless. I will definitely be using his services again and highly recommend his company!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.

You may need permission to take a tree down. Check with your local ordinances about rules regarding tree removal and to gain any necessary permits. Check with your local ordinances or the fire department if you plan to burn the stump. Make sure you have all the steps in place before removing the tree, or contact a local tree removal service.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Homeowners are usually not responsible for trees that fall on power lines. Power companies usually have utility easements around power lines, which give them the responsibility to maintain any trees within about 15 to 20 feet of the lines.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.
