"Upstate New York Tree Service was highly recommended by my parents, for doing such a terrific tree trimming job for them recently. So, no surprise that this wonderful family business for decades, did a fantastic job at doing some significant tree trimming of two very large trees for me! The owner thoroughly knowledgeable and having a background educated in all things green, explained the significance of the bit of rot on one of the trees. Also he detailed a plan to remediate & comprehensively trim down both trees, especially the compromised one to lighten the load quite a bit. Having had a major tree removed out front a while ago and knowing pricing (and add inflation) a bit for this work, his quote was reasonable and fair Especially nice, was that he could get in the work required very soon, rather than waiting weeks or more for a quote and work done, as maybe for some tree services. His very professional team arrived w/all their heavy duty equipment, tools and saws ready to take care of business. and That they did in a very organized, thoughtful and effective manor at doing some very involved and complicated tree trimming. In the very back of my yard, they successfully navigated, tied off and avoided large branches damaging my new shed, garage or nice fence! No small accomplishment! When all was effectively and efficiently done over a few days, they very thoroughly cleaned up and hauled away all tree branches and debris. After recently worrying while watching my trees sway wickedly during that big storm that generated numerous tornadoes in Central NY, I will worry no more! Plus as a major bonus: much less raking, picking up sticks/branches and plenty of new sunlight to enjoy; priceless! Appreciate very much the comprehensive, reasonably priced, and quality professional job done by Upstate New York Tree Service from the owner to the whole crew!"

"Highly recommend! Had several tree stumps removed from my yard and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Bill was professional, responsive, and worked fast. Everything was cleaned up really well afterward too. I’d definitely use him again for future work."

"Save removed 6 very tall trees around our house as well as trimming all the trees away overhanging the house roof and around an electric pole. It was very tricky work and involved a lot of maneuvering the lift and how to tackle everything that needed to be taken down. Dave is an expert at his craft. Each tree was taken down with precision so that no damage was done to our house, garage, wires or other trees/shrubs. (Okay, so a branch or two landed in the middle of our Rose of Sharon bush, lol. It needed trimming anyway and has bounced back and looks as pretty as ever). Dave is friendly and easy to work with, flexible with his work schedule and accommodating when we needed to make our payments for the job on a different schedule than first stated to us. We are still waiting for the stump grinding to happen. We know, tho, that Dave will complete the job because he is a man of his word."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If the roots are still alive, the dead tree will usually try to put out new shoots. That doesn’t mean the tree will survive or that the dead parts of a tree will come back to life. If parts of the tree have died and turned gray or rotten, nothing will bring them back to life and they need to be safely removed.

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.

It's easy to misidentify trees that appear to be maple trees due to similarities in leaf shapes. Sweetgum, sycamore, and yellow poplar all have leaf shapes and appearances similar to maples. The fact that around a dozen maple tree varieties exist, only about half of which are considered common, makes misidentification an often typical occurrence.  

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.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
