"Very well. Cut down what was needed to let air and light through branches. Removed stump after cutting down tree. Cleaned up everything pretty well. Had a chipper so got rid of limbs right on the spot."

"Cotter tree did an excellent job removing a very large river birch from our front yard. When they finished, they cleaned up and handled the stump grinding well. They worked fast, and had a lot of knowledge about removing trees and tree care in general. I would definitely hire them again and recommend come then to friends and neighbors."

"Mr. Hernandez replied immediately to my inquiry. He arranged to meet me onsite within one day. He considered the project, which included removing several large trees, made recommendations, and gave me a fair estimate of the job. After we made a contract, he and his team began the work the same week and finished in three days. His service includes removal of wood and debris. He is very personable and aims to please the customer. I definitely recommend Hernandez Tree Service LLC."

"F&M did a fantastic job with removing a massive white oak tree that fell on my yard. They managed to get the job done in two trips due to the severe amount of rainfall we’ve experienced during the last few weeks and they returned afterwards to fill in the tractor tracks with topsoil, grass seed and straw. We are very impressed with their service and professionalism and will recommend them to my friends, neighbors and family. Job well done! Thanks F&M."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

The ideal depth of a tree notch depends on the tree, but it should usually be between 20% and 25% of the tree’s depth. However, if the tree is leaning towards the direction of the notch, it can be cut more shallowly—at as little as 10% of the depth. When the tree is leaning away from the direction it needs to be felled, you can cut deeper, closer to 30%.

Ivy eventually kills trees by restricting its growth, blocking sunlight, absorbing nutrients and water from the soil, and weakening the tree. Trees with ivy are more likely to experience diseases, pests, rot, and fungi growth. When ivy weighs down tree branches, the tree is more likely to break during a storm and cause damage.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.
