"I have to say the owner of this company was extremely nice to say the least. In addition, so we're his workers that work in the Toledo, Ohio area. I would definitely hire this company for everything that needs done to our house in the future as well. I was extremely impressed to say the least!"

"I highly recommend Durfey’s Total Tree Service! They did an absolutely amazing job removing my tree, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. It’s not always easy finding a company you can trust, but they did an excellent job and made the whole experience a great one. I truly appreciate their hard work and the great job they did. If you’re looking for a reliable tree service that does quality work, definitely give them a call! I would 100% use them again! Thank you, Durfey’s Total Tree Service! 🌳❤️"

I take care of the dirty, heavy work that homeowners and contractors don't want to handle around Monroe, Adrian, and the surrounding areas. With a heavy-duty F-250 and a big hydraulic dump trailer, we do everything from ripping out old kitchens and tearing down sheds to clearing overgrown brush, grading land, and cleaning out gutters. We don't just show up, smash things, and leave a mess—we handle the full demolition, pack up the trailer, and haul every piece of trash straight to the landfill so your property is completely clean and ready for whatever's next. If you need a job done fast, safely, and without the corporate hassle, give me a call.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it’s hard to predict the fall’s timing, it’s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.

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.

The best tools for tree removal include a chainsaw for large trees, an ax for notching and cutting down small trees, and a wedge to help control the direction a tree falls in. A hatchet can be useful for very small trees, but won’t be effective for medium to large trees. 

Often, it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to handle the aftermath when a neighbor’s tree falls on their property. But if a tree has been obviously dead for a significant period of time and caused damage when it fell, a case can be made that the owner should have removed it, especially if the neighbor wrote you a letter about the tree or asked you to take it down. This can be grounds for a successful lawsuit in claims court and is a good reason to always pay attention to your trees and remove dead trees before they fall.

There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.
