Q: Can trees come back after a drought?

Usually, you&rsquo;ll have to just wait and see&mdash;if the drought occurs in wintertime, it&rsquo;s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.</p></div>

Q: Am I responsible if a tree falls on my neighbor’s property?

• <div><p>Often, it&rsquo;s the homeowner&rsquo;s responsibility to handle the aftermath when a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/my-neighbor-s-tree-fell-my-house-who-pays.htm">neighbor&rsquo;s tree falls on their property</a>. But if a tree has been obviously dead for a significant period of time and caused damage when it fell, a case can be made that the owner should have removed it, especially if the neighbor wrote you a letter about the tree or asked you to take it down. This can be grounds for a successful lawsuit in claims court and is a good reason to always pay attention to your trees and remove dead trees before they fall.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a horticulturist and an arborist?

• <div><p>Horticulturist is a broad term for any type of plant and soil expert. An arborist, meanwhile, specializes in all aspects of tree care. You should hire an arborist when you need assistance with tree-related tasks, such as pruning large trees, removing trees, diagnosing a sick tree, or emergency tree services. Horticulturists aren&rsquo;t qualified to handle those types of tasks. </p></div>

Q: Why are dead trees considered dangerous or harmful?

• <div><p>Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.</p></div>

"We had a very large branch from an old cottonwood come down on our property on a Friday evening which took out a portion of our fence/wall. We called Tree Work, LLC on a Saturday morning and because they were in the area, they were able to come by within the hour. They evaluated the area and provided a bid for the removal and fence repair which we felt was fair. The removal only took about an hour and half from the time of their arrival. We are very pleased with the service so far."
