Mike & crew did exactly as I wanted with cutting down 4 dead pine trees, 1 chestnut tree, 1 pine tree & trimming low/dead branches from 7 other trees. Work was completed in just 9 days from initial phone call & estimate given. Will definitely ask them to return when other tree problems arise.

The job they did was superb. I thought I would at least see some little branches and needles but they got all of it. They are grinding the stumps later but if they can do that with the trees, I know the stumps will be a piece of cake for them.

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Yes, dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. For one, they pose a falling hazard. Dead, rotting trees can also attract harmful pests. And if the tree died because of a disease, it could spread the disease to healthy trees.

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

There are two types of arborists: certified and consulting. A certified arborist is licensed and equipped to provide tree pruning, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, transplanting, treatment, and removal services. A consulting arborist specializes in tree appraisals, diagnosing problems and recommending treatments for illnesses. However, they will not provide these services themselves. Most consulting arborists are certified arborists who can refer you to a tree service that can administer the correct treatments.

Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you’ll have to just wait and see—if the drought occurs in wintertime, it’s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.

Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not dangerous, though the added weight to one side could cause an issue eventually. Things are more tricky with trees that seemingly developed a lean overnight. If one of these plants is leaning more than 15% from vertical, consider transplanting or straightening the tree.
