"Mack Tree Service has been an absolutely competent and reliable company to do business. Devon and his crew did a terrific job removing numerous dead trees, and making sure our yard looked great. Highly recommend, and have scheduled to have them come and do some landscaping for us as well. Thank you to a bunch of great honest guys."

"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

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.

Unfortunately, if you cut the top off a palm tree, it will die. Instead of budding or branching out, the top begins to slowly rot. That's why having a professional tree trimming at least twice a year is a good idea. If you don’t have experience with trimming your palm tree, you might accidentally cut the top off, leaving a dead and rotting tree in your wake.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.

Generally, homeowners do not need permission to cut down a tree on their own private property, but there are several exceptions where a permit may be required. You might need a permit if the tree is particularly large, old, or a protected species, such as a heritage tree. Trees located near public property or power lines can also be subject to special rules. Additionally, many local governments and homeowners associations (HOAs) have regulations controlling which trees can be removed to manage an area's appearance or prevent the spread of invasive species. To avoid hefty fines, it is crucial to check with your local government and HOA to determine if a permit is needed before you begin.
