Q: Can a tree with borers be saved?

• <div><p>Tree borers are difficult to control and remove once they make a home in your tree. However, with patience and determination, some methods can slow the damage or even eliminate the pests. But, once the damage is too much for the tree to handle, the only solution becomes removing it. Talk to a tree specialist early for the best chance at saving your tree.</p></div>

Q: Why is my tree bark peeling?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;re still stumped, consulting with a pro can help you diagnose your tree&rsquo;s specific problem.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to leave tree roots in the ground?

• <div><p>In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.</p></div>

Q: Why should you grind down a tree?

• <div><p>Grinding down a tree helps reduce the risk of foundation damage and pests and even helps your home&rsquo;s curb appeal. Stumps can also be a safety hazard. If grass grows above the stump and someone else mows your yard, they may be in for a rude awakening when they accidentally hit it. </p></div>

They were so efficient and polite. They wrapped my furniture with care and loaded and unloaded with quick and quality service. They listened and did exactly what I needed them to do! I would recommend them to anyone and I would use them again.

"Trees R'Us did a great job with my three trees that needed trimming. They were everything I needed. I needed a reliable, high quality job done and I needed it done with minimal difficulty arranging things on my part. I asked for a quote on Angi's, heard back within a few hours, got the quote, got the work done well. By the end of the week my trees were good. These guys are excellent and I am grateful for their professionalism. I had held off on getting the trees done because I feared it would be a headache to deal vendors and quotes and price changes. There was no headache dealing with Trees R'Us. The quote is what was charged and they did an outstanding job."

"D&R did a tremendous job of repairing my cracked and buckled drywall. The quality of work was amazing and even brought his team out during the service to evaluate other work at my residence. Their team was extremely professional, produced high quality results, and was extremely well priced. This was by far my best experience on Angie's List and I highly recommend D&R to anyone who needs work done.
