"In addition to carefully and precisely cutting down our birch tree, Kyle ground down the stump, removed every bit of branch debris and blew away the sawdust, leaving the work sight tidier than when he began! I was very impressed by his professional work ethic and would recommend his service to all."

"Tree removal estimate was given on same day as request. Work was done on day scheduled exactly as discussed. Crew made every effort to clean up at the end of the day and left yard cleaner than before the beginning of project. Crew was focussed on doing a good job and was courteous in the completion of it. I would highly recommend this business for its professionalism, attention to detail, and all around good attitude about the whole project, from the giving of the estimate to final check with me that all was done according to my expectations. I recommend this business without reservation and would go with them again, without getting competitive bids. They show up and do the work."

"Very professional and timely. When I called to get my lawn mowed because my mower was broken Chris said he could have someone there in the next hour if that worked. I had to schedule later in the week but his crew showed up first thing in the morning just like he said. After everything was complete they asked if I was satisfied and they really did a great job. I could recommend this service with no problem to any of my friends or family. Great value and a great service with many different options available."

I have always had a passion for trees dating back to my dendrology classes at Miami University. That passion has fueled many years in the arboriculture industry as a crew leader and climber. I'm happy to consult with you on your trees or shrubs and options to explore to preserve them for the long-term. Being an ISA Certified Arborist, I'm always striving to keep up with industry standards and grow myself.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.

To maintain trees on a commercial property, perform regular pruning, monitor for diseases, and apply fertilization to promote healthy growth. It is also important to remove any hazardous branches to keep the trees healthy and prevent potential liability issues.

You can use the formula mentioned earlier to calculate the depth of tree roots. Each inch of width of a tree trunk translates to six inches of depth within the root system. Large trees extend anywhere from 2 to 6 feet into the ground, with some magnificent specimens going even deeper.

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.
