Is it better to plant small or large trees?

• <div><p>It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. </p><p>On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.</p></div>

Q: How much does homeowners insurance cover for tree removal?

• <div><p>Coverage varies quite a bit by policy, but most homeowners' insurance policies will cover <b>$500 to $1,000</b> of the cost of removing a tree. Additionally, if your tree causes damage to your property, like your house, many policies will cover some or all of the costs to repair the damage, depending on why the tree fell. </p></div>

Q: How often should trees be pruned?

• <div><p>Trees should be pruned every two to five years, depending on its age and type. Young trees should be inspected and pruned every two to three years. Mature trees should be inspected and trimmed every three to five years, and fruit trees should be pruned annually with a careful eye on seasonal growth. Evergreens typically don&rsquo;t need pruning, unless branches or limbs are damaged, diseased, or harboring pests.</p></div>

Q: Is moving my tree worth the cost?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.</p></div>

Q: Am I responsible if a tree falls on my neighbor’s property?

• <div><p>Often, it&rsquo;s the homeowner&rsquo;s responsibility to handle the aftermath when a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/my-neighbor-s-tree-fell-my-house-who-pays.htm">neighbor&rsquo;s tree falls on their property</a>. 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.</p></div>

They sign you up for doing a job, but then they do not show up. They probably overbook. I have been waiting patiently for them to trim my trees since July 29, 2020, and today it is 8/29/2020. Every time I call them, they say they are going to send someone, but no one comes or calls me. I will...

They are punctual, efficient, well priced and the customer rep that I talked to when I inquired and later requested their services was not only polite but expressed concern when I called the day after severe weather in our area. She remembered me and where I live. I'd recommend them to anyone!

They were very quick to get us scheduled, and were so very kind to my timid rescue dog. I picked them because other reviewers had said the same, and they were right. Lola looked lovely and happy when I picked her up! They even told me about, what turned out to be a tumor, on her mammory...
