Small jobs welcome

"The contractors were very courteous and did a wonderful job. However, they had a hard time maintaining the appointment dates and times for both the estimate and the actual job. They wound up coming on a different day and time than agreed and when I wasn't home to perform the job. They did contact me and with approval, did the job. It was agreed that they would return for payment, however they have never returned. I'm very satisfied with the job that they did, but I'm not sure what's going on."

"Working with John was very easy and professional. He was easy to get in touch with and followed up with any questions we had. We were concerned about alot of large branches of large trees. He was knowledgeable and guided us what to do. He came with his crew as scheduled despite the rain and got the job done quickly, efficiently and thoroughly. They were not only exceptional in their skill , they cleared away all remnants of the cutting, and the bonus was that they took away some of our left over logs and summer plant debris that was in the yard. . We highly recommend them."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

While there is a lot of debate about whether boiling water is strong enough to kill tree roots, it is not best to remove the roots from large, old trees. You may be able to weaken young roots enough to remove them manually, but boiling water will likely not do the trick for large root systems.

In most cases, your neighbor is responsible for roots from their tree that cause damage to your property. If your pavement, the foundation of your home, or a fence is damaged by roots from a neighbor’s tree, you likely will have legal recourse for financial relief. While it’s better to notify your neighbor of any problems you notice as soon as they arise to avoid costly damage, there are some instances where filing a civil suit is your only recourse. Your homeowner’s insurance company might wish to do so on your behalf if you file a claim.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Trees are beneficial to the environment and wildlife. If you have an old tree, but it’s healthy, it may be best to avoid cutting it down. However, if it’s showing signs of bug infestation, disease, or is potentially hazardous, then you should contact a tree removal company to cut it down. 

If you are unsure whether you should have it removed or not, then speak with an arborist to determine what is best.

The best pro to hire for spraying trees is a tree maintenance specialist. These pros are well-versed in selecting the right spray treatment and applying it properly to ensure there’s no collateral damage to the tree or surrounding landscape. Many tree maintenance services employ certified arborists, but for these routine visits, the extra investment usually isn’t necessary.
