"They came and removed a very large maple tree from my backyard. Got here around noon and started right away. Worked through three rain events nonstop. I have a shed, garage and fence all within close proximity of the tree. They were very careful and no damage done. Took all wood and blew out the remaining wood chips and sawdust from back yard and driveway. 9 hours to complete removal and clean up. Only one helper for such a large project. Very impressed with their work ethics. Equipment A-1. I already recommended them to a family member who needs tree service. The price was way better than 2 other estimates I got quotes from."

"Chris has a super personality and his team are all extremely professional and pleasant. We had a large, dead ash tree removed as well as removal of a tree damaged by lightening. They also trimmed branches and ground 2 stumps. Amazing work and clean up when they completed work each day and at the end of the job. Great work and would recommend Chris and Apex Tree Care!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

It’s not as common for Dutch elm disease to affect other types of trees, especially if the surrounding trees aren’t elms. However, it is possible for DED to spread to other trees, particularly in northern states, like Minnesota. In fact, it’s a good idea to use geography to identify wood and determine which types of trees are in your yard. 

Unfortunately, the complex and shallow root system of elm trees makes surrounding elm trees particularly vulnerable to DED. Early discovery is key!

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

Lightning can cause massive damage, fires, and openings for other threats like bugs or fungal diseases. Barring any large fires or explosions, it’s difficult to tell how much damage a lightning strike has done until after a thorough inspection. Contact local authorities immediately if lightning strikes a tree in your yard and it causes a fire or explosion.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.
