"I'm very satisfied with the tree trimming work done by Shaddai Landscaping . They were quick to respond to my request and were prompt to arrive as scheduled. They explained what they would be doing for each tree and were efficient in getting it done. Cut and stacked the dead wood for firewood and cleaned the yard before leaving. I certainly recommend them!"

"Called Robert's Tree Service and Rebert answered the phone. He said he could come to do an estimate within two days. Robert did the estimate which was acceptable and said he could do the job within two days. A crew of four men arrived at 9am. By 1pm they had felled three large trees, removed trees and stumps, restored gravel and cleaned all debris. We almost couldn't tell that there had ever been trees there."

"Michael and Rapheal did a great job removing our tree. They also cleaned the area completely. After they left you would never know the tree ever existed, except for the small stump, We would definitely recommend them to anyone that needs landscape work."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Planting trees far enough from your foundation will protect your home from root damage, but if you’re dealing with existing trees, you can still guard against roots. Root barriers form a physical boundary that will prevent roots from encroaching on your foundation and can help save you from expensive foundation repair costs.

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.
