"Denny and his team gave us the best price of the three bids we solicited and did an excellent job. They worked around fence and power lines that encroached on the work, and quickly adapted their strategy when using a truck near the barn proved unworkable. The work was done quickly and they did an excellent job of cleanup as well. We can now sleep better at night during big storms knowing that those trees are no longer near our valued structures. We will definitely be calling on them again whenever we have tree issues."

"They do excellent work, they are reliable and very professional. They know what they are doing and prices beat all other area tree services (I contacted three others for estimates, they failed to show up). Dogwood Tree Service had an efficient team of workers who completed the work removing 3 large trees and stumps from my prooerty. After work was done, they cleaned the entire area leaving it neat and clean. Highly recommend this company."

"I highly recommend Captain's Tee Service. They removed a huge tall tree from my yard which was spreading over a fence into my neighbor's yard as well. They had a team of men who did it extremely carefully so as not to land branches on the fence or into my neighbor's yard. They also trimmed other trees and removed all debris. Clean up was complete, and you couldn't tell they had been here. All for a very reasonable price!I plan to use them again to trim some other trees we have."

"I am very happy with the service provided by CC Tree Experts. They will be the first company I call for this service from now on. 1) Responsive. They were the first ones out with a quote (within a day). My prior service took a week to get a guy out. 2) Fair. Of the quotes I got, they had a fair price.. no over charging. 3) Efficient. On the day of, they were running by 8 am with all vehicles and tools. They were basically done by 11:30. 4) Safe. I watched them slice and dice a tall old tree with control and precision. 5) Clean. The tree and area was chocked with overgrowth and vines. They navigated it all and left the ground clean and debris free. It did take 3 weeks to get work started. I blame that on their high demand. Book early."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.  

State and local laws vary, but in most cases, you are allowed to trim any branches from your neighbor's tree that cross your property line. However, it's important to ensure you do not damage the overall health of the tree in the process. Removing branches incorrectly can jeopardize the health of the tree and could lead to you being on the hook to replace it.

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.
