Q: Can I cut trees from my neighbor’s yard if they’re on my property?

• <div><p>Generally, if your neighbor&rsquo;s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.</p><p>It&rsquo;s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.</p></div>

Q: Should I trim the lower branches of my maple tree?

• <div><p>Yes, you should trim the lower branches of your maple tree for safety. Trimming maple trees as they grow helps lift the crown and canopy and trains it to grow straight up. A good rule of thumb is to prune enough branches to leave 6 feet of clearance under the tree.</p></div>

Q: Why is lightning striking a tree dangerous?

• <div><p>Lightning can cause massive damage, fires, and openings for other threats like bugs or fungal diseases. Barring any large fires or explosions, it&rsquo;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.</p><p></p></div>

Q: How big is too big of a tree to transplant?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit to take down my tree?

• <div><p>In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you&rsquo;ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between <b>$50 and $150</b> for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.</p></div>

"We had a concrete sidewalk, back patio and driveway pad prepped and poured to replace our flagstone areas. L&M Excavation did an expert job throughout the hot long workdays. There were plenty of obstacles to navigate with large equipment and loads of materials but everything was put back in order by the end of the job. Definitely would recommend this crew for your concrete projects."

"I reached out for someone to grind my stumps, aprox 14 of them, he responded that same day and came to review the project and gave me a very reasonable quote. We agreed and he advised me when he would do the job. He called me and advised that he was on his way, on the day he said he would do the work. He did an excellent job, ground all the stumps we agreed on and 2 more. If you have stumps needing to be ground then J North is your best bet."
