"Mike and AM Tree and Landscaping were wonderful! They listened to our concerns, made suggestions and explained WHY they were going to trim the way they did. They touched base with us regularly to make sure we were all on the same page! They went above and beyond what tree services we’d ever had before! Clean up was spot on and all at a very reasonable price. We definitely recommend them to everyone!"

"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."

"this job went beyond my wildest dreams. he did way beyond what I was expecting and it took no time at all. His equipment not only grinded the stump out but mulched it and the dirt around it. All I have to do is rake it flat and plant grass seed! Well worth the price!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Not all leaning trees are dangerous, but they can be a hazard as gravity may eventually cause them to fall. A key factor is whether the lean is new or has been present for a long time. Trees that have grown with a lean for years are not typically an immediate danger, but a sudden lean is a cause for concern as it often indicates weakening roots. If a tree is leaning more than 15% from vertical, you should consider having it straightened or transplanted. To be safe, it's always best to hire a professional arborist to inspect any leaning tree to assess the risk and avoid potential accidents.

Whether tree roots will continue to grow after a tree has been cut down depends on the species. Some tree roots will eventually die because they can no longer get nutrients through photosynthesis. However, other species that reproduce through root sprouts can continue to grow and produce new sprouts for seven years or more. For example, the roots of elms, ficus, and willows tend to regrow aggressively, while the roots of pines, oaks, and maples will typically die. To determine if a root system is still active, look for new sprouts on the old trunk, stump, or any exposed roots.

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

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%.

DIY is risky and not recommended for large trees; professional services ensure safe removal and proper disposal.
