"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"

"Very friendly. Organized, arrived on time. Answered my questions and gave me the best quote in the area. They worked safely and removed 4 maples trees near the house. The job was done in one day and I am very pleased. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone who is a perfectionist and values good customer service, a fast response and job completion above and beyond expectation. He even cleaned up any wood chips and small branches left over from a recent storm. There was absolutely nothing I had to do. Thank you Mike!"

"They were quick to respond to my request on Angi and they did a fantastic job grinding a couple stumps for me. I felt their price was very reasonable and they went right to work as soon as I agreed to their estimate. They did exactly what the they said in the estimate which was exactly what I needed to have done. They did a quality job and I am very satisfied with their work. I will hire them again. Added bonus was that they were very nice to work with and they made it fun for my dogs. The whole experience was a joy."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.

Absolutely. These steps are significantly easier, too, especially when it comes to preserving the root ball and moving the palm tree. However, you will want to make sure the tree has plenty of fertilizer to establish itself and start growing. Supports may also be more important, as it can take extra time for a potted palm to spread out its roots. If you are transferring a palm to another pot, you’ll want to move up a size or two to a larger pot. Make sure the pot has excellent drainage to keep the palm from getting waterlogged.

The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.

Stay inside or well away until the storm passes. Don’t go outside to inspect the tree until the weather clears, especially if the tree is on a hill or isolated in a field. Lightning often strikes the same easily-accessed places multiple times, and you could be a new target. If a lightning strike causes a noticeable fire, alert emergency services. When the storm is over, take a closer look to gauge the damage done.

Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.
