"I am very satisfied with the job Knock on Wood Tree Service completed on our property. They were on time, courteous, and finished the job in one day. From beginning to end, they were professional, and the workers cleaned up the area. Safety was their number one concern. Tim even removed a tree not included in the original written estimate to remove 19 trees at no additional cost. I highly recommend this company and would use them again."

"Alex and his crew were awesome. Alex showed up when promised to quote the job. I needed lots of large maple trees and a smaller dogwood trimmed and a couple of smaller trees removed completely. He made excellent suggestions and provided a reasonable written estimate and a timetable to get the job done. He completed the job when promised at the quoted price. His crew was very professional and efficient and neat. It was not an easy project but they made it look easy. I highly recommend Mastership Tree Service for your next trimming/removal project."

"They did an excellent job at a competitive price. They removed the limb, branches and cleaned up all the debris. The work was done timely, in a good attitude and professionalism. I suggest describing in detail the work to be done in order to avoid misunderstandings. Walter was very responsive and our satisfaction was important to him and to his crew. Highly recommend and will use them again for the next cycle of trimming/tree work."

"Very professional company right from the arborist that visited to start the quoting process, he left me with the confidence that they were only ones well qualified not like others. The quote arrived by return and explained the work to be carried out and again was the only one to meet ansi tree pruning standards. My work was scheduled and the well maintained equipment and crew arrived on the day promised. They asked what were my expectations and carried out their work very respectful of my property and my neighbors when they had completed the work I was asked if it met my expectations and it exceeded them. When they left apart from a great look tree there was nothing to show that they had been there no tree litter no saw dust. I highly recommend this qualified professional company."

"This crew is amazing!  My uncle needed to have a tree removed from our
backyard... I'm talking HUGE with many of the biggest limbs leaning over
our neighbors house.  He came over right away and gave a reasonably
priced quote.  I discussed it with my uncle and decided to go ahead and
use his services.  He removed this tree in two days, even with it being
some of the hottest days its been in a while!  His whole crew was
extremely kind and they made sure to clean up very carefully after they
were done. They even took a look at my broken car when they
noticed me filling my radiator with water!  We were thrilled with the
services this crew gave us and would recommend them to anyone.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A serrated knife will work for cutting off small palm tree fronds, about 1 inch in diameter. For larger fronds, you will need pruning shears. You may also use a pruning saw, and if your palm tree is especially tall, an extended pole saw can help you reach the brown fronds around the trunk.

Ideally, you’ll have a good enough relationship with your neighbors that you can kindly mention this task in regular conversation. However, every neighbor (and neighborhood) is different. Your best bet will always be to ask directly and nicely, offering to contribute to the tree trimming efforts if you’d like. However, if you are bothered by the tree and your neighbor is unwilling to cut it, you can involve the help of the homeowners’ association or local authorities, if applicable.

Some trees, such as silver maples, birches, sycamores, and scotch pines, shed their bark naturally. If your tree is not one that does this, it might have fallen prey to pests, fungi, or diseases. It could also simply be suffering from an extreme weather change, such as a snowstorm or heat wave. If you’re still stumped, consulting with a pro can help you diagnose your tree’s specific problem.

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.
