"We had a great experience with Hilts Tree Service. Communication was excellent from the estimate through the completion of the job. They removed four trees from our property, including trees very close to the house, and did an excellent job with both the removal and stump grinding. They were professional, careful around the house and underground utilities, and left the property clean when they were finished. Melissa was also extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. Very reasonable pricing for the quality of the work. Highly recommended!"

"I contacted Highland Tree Services because they were highly rated. I needed trimming on all three sides of my back yard due to neighbors’ tree branches hanging over my fences, and my Japanese Maple needed to be trimmed and thinned. Justin came for an estimate and noticed a problem at the crotch of the maple which he treated when he came back to do all the work. Justin and Dan were pleasant and professional and worked very hard in hot, humid weather for hours. All trimmings were removed and put through their chipper. I would recommend Highland for any kind of tree service you might need."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

No. Most of the time, suckers are only a sign that the tree is experiencing stress. However, they can also be the canary in the coal mine, letting you know that something else is stressing your tree. If you have lots of suckers on your tree, calling in an arborist or a tree care expert is always a good call to determine the cause and develop a solution that de-stresses your tree.

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.
