Q: Is it worth hiring an arborist or tree surgeon over a standard tree company?

• <div><p>Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.</p></div>

Q: Is one branch dying on my maple tree a bad sign?

• <div><p>If it&rsquo;s only a smaller branch that has died and you&rsquo;re keeping an eye on the tree, it&rsquo;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&rsquo;s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.</p></div>

Q: When do leaves start falling?

• <div><p>It depends on where you live&mdash;but in most areas, leaves begin falling in September and continue falling until January or February. Warmer regions, such as Southern states, may see leaves fall a bit later in the calendar year. It also depends on the type of trees in your yard and their maturity. </p></div>

Q: How do you protect tree roots during excavation?

• <div><p>The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it&rsquo;s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that&rsquo;s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.</p><p>Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-tree.htm">remove the tree</a> than risk future problems.</p></div>

Q: What do I do if a tree falls on power lines in my neighborhood?

• <div><p>Steer clear of the area and contact your utility company immediately. It will have a website portal and/or a phone number to report downed trees and electrical issues. If the tree appears to be on public land, you may want to call your local government and report the issue there, too.</p></div>
