"review for Bob Deyo We had  a 120 year old silver maple tree in our backyard that was growing really close to our house.  We wanted to figure out if we should prune it back or take down the tree entirely. A person at Cornell recommended Deyo's Tree Service to us. We got several quotes from different companies, and we were so impressed with Bob's experience and knowledge. Of all the companies we contacted, Bob was the only one who insisted that our tree had to come down because it was dangerous for us. Well, a few days later, we hired a certified arborist and he said that the tree couldn't be saved and should be taken down for safety reasons. We are so grateful that Bob insisted that we take the tree down. Other companies were trying to save the tree, but if we had listened to them, we would have put our lives at risk! We are so thankful that we had Bob's expertise.Â"

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

No, you cannot throw branches from your neighbor’s tree back into their yard, nor can you discard leaves or other plant matter that originated from their yard back over there if it happens to land in your yard. You are responsible for cleaning up plant matter that made its way into your yard.

Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.
