"I was extremely happy with the work of Lorax Tree Service. Very hard working, diligent, and did exactly as he promised. Very easy to recommend this company. They totally removed 6 trees over 70' tall and pruned about a dozen orchard trees. Work was safely done and showed a tremendous amount of expertise!"

"**Uprooted Tree Care Review** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently hired Robbie and his amazing team, Gavin and Danny, from Uprooted Tree Care, and I'm thoroughly impressed! They tackled the daunting task of cutting down several huge trees in our yard and trimming others with remarkable speed, efficiency, and effectiveness. The team arrived promptly and immediately set to work, demonstrating unparalleled professionalism and expertise. What truly impressed me was their meticulous cleanup. After the job, they left our yard spotless, as if they hadn’t been there, except for the beautifully trimmed trees! Robbie, Gavin, and Danny are not only skilled but also personable. They took time to understand our needs, ensuring everything was done to our satisfaction. Their friendly demeanor made the process enjoyable. In terms of cost, Uprooted Tree Care offers competitive pricing that reflects the high-quality service. They provide incredible value, completing tasks quickly without sacrificing quality. If you need tree care specialists who are fast, efficient, and effective, I highly recommend Robbie and his team. They exceeded all our expectations and transformed our yard beautifully!"

"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.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

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.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.

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.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they’re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.
