"I spoke to Sterling, after getting his information from Home Advisor, he then showed up exactly at the time he said he would and provided an extremely reasonable estimate. He then showed up again on the day that we agreed upon and did an excellent job. Sterling and his assistant got three trees down in no time, got rid of the stumps and cleaned up the job in about 5 hours. Sterling is very friendly, accommodating, professional and the price is fair and reasonable. I would absolutely, without question, hire him again."

"Deadwood calls back and comes when they say they will. I didn t think my 2 very large trees would be done in 1 day, it was amazing because it was done in 1 day. Quickly, safely and friendly work. They do the clean up, as well. I had the village ask for the wood. John said if the village doesn t get in 2 days, call him to come back and pick it up. Amazing work! Thank you Deadwood Tree Service!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

Depending on the severity of the damage, a tree might continue healing for years after a split or a break. Saplings can usually bounce back in the spring in one or two seasons, but larger trees might take a few years to regain their former strength. If your tree is showing strong growth and is not dropping limbs, you can consider it healed after the first two seasons.

Yes, it’s possible to overwater a newly-planted tree. Daily watering is great for the first few weeks, but it’s important not to go overboard. Excessive watering can lead to various problems, including root rot, fungal diseases, and a lack of root development.

On grafted trees, tree suckers will grow from the root stock, not the branches grafted onto it. Therefore, the leaves and characteristics of the suckers aren’t the same as the tree because they are different varieties. Root stock has more hardiness, strength, or drought tolerance than its grafted limbs, so if the suckers are from fruit or flowers, it might be different than the main part of your tree.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.
