Q: How close can you dig next to a tree without killing it?

• <div><p>As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1&frac12; times as wide as the canopy of the tree&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How do I find a reputable tree surgeon?

• <div><p>You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">professionals who hold the proper licensing</a> and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don&rsquo;t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.</p></div>

Q: Should I grind or dig up my tree stump?

• <div><p>Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won&rsquo;t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you&rsquo;ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.</p></div>

Q: How can I tell if a tree needs to be cut down?

• <div><p>There are several signs that may indicate a tree needs to be cut down. These include visible damage to the trunk or branches, a hollow trunk, extensive storm damage, or a significant lean to one side. Other warning signs are pest infestations or the tree growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures. It is best to hire a professional arborist to inspect the tree, as they can determine if it can be saved or if removal is necessary.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of professional tree trimming?

• <div><p>It enhances property aesthetics, improves tree health, and prevents safety hazards.</p></div>

"Leon is the best!! In my six years of property management I've never seen an apartment so dirty and demolished. Leon came the next day and worked endlessly until the job was done. Him and his team were very polite and friendly. (Despite the horror inside) They took out all of the trash, broken fixtures, and even the carpet. And then cleaned the whole apartment!! I would recommend his company to anyone."
