"Storm Damage brought my Mulberry Tree Down, completely covering the back yard and leaning up against the house. Crafted Landscaping responded promptly to my request for service, quoted cutting and removing the tree and started the work same day. They did a nice neat job and my tenant commented that the crew were very nice folks as well. I recommend this company."

"Excellent!! They were the most professional service I have ever had. They saw I had a sprinkler system without me telling them and took the necessary precautions not to run the truck over the sprinkler heads. I had spring flowers that had started emerging and they took special care not to drop branches on them. They cleaned up so well, the yard was left in better condition than before they started. I would highly recommend them to anyone anytime. Their pricing came in lower than the other 2 estimates i received.."

"Two man crew arrived right on time. We needed leaves and small branches in the front, sides and back yards moved to the curb for pickup by the township. The crew was very efficient and got every leaf in all of the yards out to the curb quickly. They piled them all neatly without blocking the roadway so the township can pick them up. We're very pleased with the job they did."

Arborists questions, 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.

Service costs depend on several factors, including the system's age, type, and size, as well as the complexity of the repair. Labor costs and whether replacement parts are necessary also play a significant role.

Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree. 

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.

There are several signs that may indicate a tree needs to be cut down. These include visible damage to the trunk or branches, a hollow trunk, extensive storm damage, or a significant lean to one side. Other warning signs are pest infestations or the tree growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures. It is best to hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree, as they can determine if it can be saved or if removal is necessary.
