"Freeport were the best of the 3 tree services I have hired in the past 15 years. Their price was 70% less than the highest competitor. They arrived on time. It was a difficult and delicate job as the hugh tree was touching the house. Last but not least Rene is a personable gentleman."

"After looking at multiple tree service companies, I finally decided to use L.A. tree service. I had a large tree in my backyard that was too close to the house, a sunroom, and the electric wires. Considering all the obstacles, cutting that tree, and bringing the branches down was a logistical challenge. I decided to go with L.A. Tree Service because they were highly recommended by my neighbor John and because they also had the best price. That was the best decision that I made. The moment that I contacted Jose from L.A. Tree Service he promptly came by the house for an estimate. Jose, as well as the rest of his crew, was very friendly and professional. We scheduled the job, and they arrived on-time and ready to do the work. Everything went flawless. They brought down every branch with the outmost precision. No damage to my property or the electrical wires and everything was clean by the time they finished. I enthusiastically recommend this company."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.

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.

A general rule is that trees need 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. For large trees, that can amount to approximately 160 gallons of water or more. Watering big trees to this extent can take quite a bit of time using a hose. For this reason, you may consider installing a soaker hose or sprinkler system to make the job easier.  

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.
